It's an audio range scope (<20KHz). Pretty expensive for that. I think that you can get modules that will drive a computer, or even mobile device (like a phone or tablet), for cheaper, and with more bells and whistles.

But Korg makes good stuff.

Yea, you buy this for the KORG aesthetic and the nice coffee table instruction book. You could probably get something equivalent at the tech spec level for $20 on aliexpress.

Under $10. Search for "DSO138".

It also has a two-channel signal generator and 3.5mm connectors built in, and you don't need to hook a laptop up to it to use it. You can probably get all of those things cheaper but I wouldn't count on them being reliable, nice to use, or good enough to plug into a synthesizer.

Then again, I've mostly been looking at vector network analyzers lately so ~$200 for electronic test equipment for professional use seems laughably cheap to me.
