For sale is a rare Open Labs – Neko XXL. This particular unit has a lot more extra than the standard Neko XXL ever had. The unit is ONLY slightly used and is a very pretty computer-based keyboard musical workstation and (kind of) (soft/hard) synthesizer for sale. Looks like new and without a scratch. This great workstation has never been outside the door here and thus has never been dragged around and received harsh treatment during transport and gigs. Bought new from Open Labs for 9100 USD see the last picture where this is proved. In addition to the initial costs came the costs for Pro Tools and eight EastWest soft instruments. Pro Tools are also a quite expensive DAW but I haven’t even checked what I gave for it. All this are fully licenced and is included with this Neko XXL Workstation. Due to the fall back of the US Dollar the current price have been adjusted to 6470 USD. I have been the only one owner of the unit and I do not smoke. Important information for US, European and Asian buyers: Don’t worry about the Neko’s AC requirements. This Neko’s built in power supply is an auto-switching international power supply. Just plug it in and start playing, wherever you are! You can install any DAW and soft synth in this workstation. Open Labs provided a lot of instruments too numerous to mention and which of course still is included and installed in the unit. In addition Pro Tools 10 and eight extra soft instruments from EastWest are also installed and included by me. EastWest/Quantum Leap Goliath as a collection of sounds can’t be beat. These are some of the most expressive and musical sounds out there, and there’s no other one-stop sample player or library that comes close. The new meaning of heavyweight. EastWest/Quantum Leap Pianos stands out because it’s the biggest most ambitious sampled piano project ever, with the sound quality to prove it. EastWest/Quantum Leap RA provides composers with access to a variety of rare and unique instruments from Africa, Europe, India, the Americas and Australia, the Far East, and the Middle East and Turkish Empires. Musicians will find that RA has an amazing sound quality and they’ll marvel at the articulation of each instrument which has a wide range that goes from controlled to expressive. All of the instruments and ensembles featured in the collection were sampled extensively as a means of preserving the true character and expression of each instrument. For the first time, users will have more control over the sounds offered in the collection along with the ability to load even more instruments than ever before. EastWest/Quantum Leap Silk – All instruments featured in SILK are multi-sampled with extreme attention to detail offering the maximum in expression. EastWest/Quantum Leap SILK contains extensive articulations, interval sampling (where appropriate), round robin (alternate samples), legato scripting, and phrases to give the feeling of smooth effortless performance – like silk. Each musician recorded for SILK is a master of his instrument, providing the best and most accurate sound available. SILK also allows users to adapt the instruments using dozens of useful micro tunings in the key of their choice. This microtuning system is the first of it’s kind, and is a true breakthrough for PLAY. EastWest/Quantum Leap Storm Drum 2 is over twice the size of the original Stormdrum, featuring over 12 Gigabytes of ALL NEW (except the included Metallica black drum kit from Ministry Of Rock) acoustic percussion instruments. The unique selection of drums and percussion included exceeds all other collections. As a sequel to STORMDRUM it sets new standards that will exceed the expectations of everyone who owns a QUANTUM LEAP product. EastWest/Quantum Leap Symphonic Choirs is an ambitious and powerful instrument capable of recreating the sound of a real choir with an incredible degree of realism. Nothing else quite delivers the control, sonic quality, and flexibility that SC offers. EastWest/Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra – A big, bountiful, powerful, expressive, sonically superior collection of top-quality orchestral sounds, recorded in a first-class concert hall, played, recorded and programmed by expert practitioners, waiting to burst into life in your compositions. EastWest/Quantum Leap Voices of Passion – A very varied and colorful 7.3GB collection of expressive, finely performed and beautifully recorded solo female vocal performances, all patiently waiting their chance to make it onto the soundtrack of Gladiator 2 (‘just when you thought it was safe to go back into the arena’).

Documentation for each sub-unit mounted on the workstation’s surface can be found on the main screen as PDF’s. But this package is heavy, around 33 Kg’s (73 pounds). I cannot guarantee that absolute everything mentioned below are included as Open Labs changed this all the time. But it should give you a good idea that a lot is included, indeed also with his unit.
