Roland System 100 anolog modular synthesizer for sale on EBAY!   Message List

Hi,

I am selling my Roland System 100 analog modular synth.
(ebay item # 2579456833)(complete system) I will post internationally.
Here's what I wrote about my system 100 on ebay:

ROLAND SYSTEM 100 ANOLOG MODULAR SYNTHERSIZER

Classic 70's Roland modular synthersizer. For that touch of true
Analoug modular madness ;) I am selling the compete system as a whole,
The Roland System 100 was Rolands top of the line synthersizer in the
mid to late 70's, it can do virtually anything, strings, french horns,
weird flutes, synthetic sounds, weird kraftwerk bleeps and bloops
(they had one at one stage)and techno timbres. If you're into making
new sounds, techno, Vangelis (he had one), Kraftwerk ect, this synth
is perfect, or for general weirdness, like Aphex twin, Norman Cook
(has one) great for fresh timbres and as an inspirational machine....
I've been surprised at how "alive" the sound of the system 100 is,
compared to modern synths. It had a warm round tone, that is more like
an acoustic instrument in some ways. It doesnt have that awful
"perfectness" of a digital synth.... It can be surprisingly realistic
sounding with horn, flute and string sounds, or bitingly and
agressively sythetic and hard. The system 100 includes the dual 12
step anolouge sequencer, module 101 (keyboard) module 102 with wicked
anolouge ring mod(stands up behind keyboard), four channel mixer/amp
with spring reverb and speakers, Original manual (in good condition)
And the fantastic 3 book "roland beginners guid to synthesis", written
for the system 100.... This system 100 is in exellent condition.
Please email me with your postcode if you'd like to know what the
postage costs would be. Please take a look at these following link for
more detailed specs on the system 100 and read user reviews...

I'm also selling a Yamaha DX7II and YAMAHA DX27 on Ebay at the moment:

DX7II (ebay iten # 2580093558)(exellent cond.) DX27
(ebay item# 2580669752) on ebay at the moment, starting at $180 (AU)
for the DX7II, and $150 (AU) for the DX27. I will post internationally.
Here is a little bit about the DX7II, that I wrote for my EBAY ad, it
explains a little about the differance too between the DX7 and the DX7II.



A bit about the DX7, DX7II

The classic Yamaha DX7 changed the sound of music first way back with
the first model DX7 in 1982. Capable of realistic instrument sounds
for the first time in the history of synthesis, the DX7 was a truely
ground breaking instrument. I am selling the post 1987 model, the mark
2 version, the DX7II. This model had many improvements over the first,
including the ability to be bi- timberal, better quality 16 bit audio,
proper midi implementation (0-127 volume), better memory cartridges,
better quality knobs, a more professional and classy styling, a tuning
feature that allows you to play any scale (as in aribic ect)(user
programmable) and a tuning mode that simulates the flutions of tunings
in acoustic musical instruments. The best thing about the DX7's sound
is its ability to change timbre depending on how hard you press a key.
Most modern synths just vary the volume of the selected sound up and
down in a crude and primitive way, wereas the DX7 behaves more like a
real instrument, reacting in sometimes a natural way to velocity,
other times wildly and agressively, depending on the sound selected.
This synth is used also a lot for techno, as it can produce biting
metalic and bizaare synthetic timbres as well. Comes with a manual and
programming guide. I have put some of the best sounds avalible for the
DX7 on the net into this keyboard, plus there is all the original
presets on the included memory cartridge. Remember, there are
thousands apon thousands of more sounds avalible for the DX7 on the
internet, more than any other keyboard. 95% of these sounds are
avalible for free, which is another bonus in buying this synth! This
DX7II is in exellent condition, with only one small scratch on one of
the panels on the top. Otherwise, it is virtually new in appearance,
and everything works perfectly.
