Remember this Roland CMU-800R? Looks like inteliko picked it up and could use some help hooking up with an Apple II. Via the comments of this post:"Speaking of old gear for old computers, I won the CMU-800R on Ebay that was posted here a few weeks back. I'm craving to get a listen and some tweakage on it but I need a working Apple II which isnt in my budget, the purchase tapped me out cashwise along with gifts for my 1 yr old and wife. Anyone with connections to an Apple II who is in or near the FL treasure coast area(Port St Lucie to be exact)can meet up with me for some tweakage on the CMU-800r, Beer and Barbecue on me!!"
You can find inteliko's email address in the comments of this post. Title link takes you to more shots.
Someone give that man an Apple //e already!
ReplyDeleteI have seen these things turn up in places like rummage sales at churches, and even pawn shops, so if you haven't tried those you should give it a try.
ReplyDeleteThanks to all interested, the learning curve I'm sure is stiff thank God for the tutorials the owner of the first cmu-800r on ebay included. The story was... the person I won the auction from had two in mint shape in the basement of a music school of some sort and the winnings went to the school. He auctioned off the first one a few months back and the winner who posted youtube vids which I think are somewhere on this blog also sent the person I won the auction from Tutorials on it. His youtube vids are helpful as well.
ReplyDeleteP.S.
I will trade wife for a Sidstation to jam along with the CMU for true bleeptastic madness!!!
