Update: The official Press Release:
"Los Angeles, CA, November 28, 2012 — Roland is proud to announce JUPITER Synth Legends Volume 1, the first in a series of free sound libraries for the JUPITER-80 and JUPITER-50 synthesizers featuring a wealth of authentic vintage sounds from some of the most legendary and iconic instruments in Roland’s history.
The collection uses Roland’s powerful and flexible SuperNATURAL® synthesizer sound engine to capture the essence of historical Roland synths and showcases all-new Tones, Live Sets, Registrations, and arpeggio patterns. The Live Set architecture and multi-effects of the JUPITERs are fully maximized, giving players a huge selection of “dream” synth combinations comprised of the most legendary synths ever created.
JUPITER Synth Legends Volume 1, the initial release in the series, honors these seven legendary Roland instruments from the 1980s:
• JUPITER-8 (1981) • JUNO-60 (1982) • D-50 (1987)
• TB-303 (1982) • JUPITER-6 (1983)
• SH-101 (1982) • JUNO-106 (1984)
These classic synths each have between 10 and 20 iconic factory preset sounds that distinguish their character, and they’re all represented among 123 newly created single Tones for the JUPITER-80/-50. There are 512 new Live Sets also included that combine the historic synths together using layers and multi-effects processing. Many Live Sets feature single legacy Tones, enhanced with effects unavailable in the original instruments, and nearly 300 new arpeggio patterns are included that are perfect for a wide range of contemporary electronic music genres.
The inspiring sounds made by these classic instruments have helped shape modern music, and now players can access them all inside the JUPITER-80/-50. Future JUPITER Synth Legends volumes will feature the sounds from other sought-after analog classics and spotlight the three vintage LPF types available in the JUPITER-80/-50.

"Fully functional with a new screen, Roger Linn 3.1 update, and original paper manuals. It was recently given a clean bill of health by VST technologies in Pasadena CA. See pictures below for more details. Same sequencer as the MPC60. Amazing MPC60 style groove and tight tight sequencing that you don't get from the DAW or even the newer MPCs. Here is your rare chance to get a fully functional ASQ10 in nice shape!"
"For sale is a rare Roland MC500 MkII. This might be the nicest and most complete MC500 set you will find around. I got this from an original Roland gear tester, he lightly used this during Roland's testing period for the machine and then it went it its original box and in storage. It's very well maintained, the machine itself works perfectly and is in excellent, near mint shape. The box is also in great shape with original foam cutouts. The biggest bonus is the 8 discs included, which are quite rare, along with original manuals all in pristine shape. A classic sequencer and nice alternative to the Akai MPC60/ASQ10 or Alesis MMT8. An amazing set for collectors..."
"Six original patch cables are included: two white (approx 6" long), two yellow (approx 12" long), and two black (approx 18" long). These are the same cables that originally shipped with the MS-20 back in the 1970s.
