I've had a 2X since 2008 and it's been rock solid. Sounds like your friend just got a fluke unit, unfortunately. Yeah this can happen with anything, no matter the companys rep. I remember Nord G2's having usb board issues which cost almost aa much as the synth to fix. I sold mine and its probably t...

The heads are normally the biggest expense. if they arent too bad you can get them re-lapped and that will add years to them. Motors and other bits can also be a bank breaker.

I think you can get this sound from a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle.

I wasn't aware that the 1210's had actually been discontinued until I saw this post. I remember all the rumors, back when they were rumors. But I am actually pretty shocked.
