Detailed Internal Pictures of Roland MC8 SN 670704


These in via Loscha. You can grab the zip here.

"This Roland MC8 has been in Australia for all of it's life, it seems. We don't know who owned it until the late 90s when it came into the hands of the current owner. The 'Sidecar' is safely in storage (so safe, the owner can't remember exactly where), and, like many people, we don't have the 60 pin Hirose cable, but they are now available online.

I hope everyone enjoys this amazing piece of technology.

The album I had on whilst opening it up and documenting it was Dare, by The Human League. They used an MC8 on this album, programmed by engineer Martin Rushent, who sadly passed away in 2011."

Image names match what you are looking at for each.

Update: additional pics of the MC-8 Interface via Ken Stone added below.
