Vintage Roland CR-78 w/ Kenton Midi SN 770490


via this auction

"In order to really take advantage of the sounds of the CR-78 I sent the unit to Kenton in London England and had them install a KADI port so I could connect the unit to a Pro Kadi unit. This allows you to control each individual drum sound via midi. I remember the first time I connected my newly retrofitted CR-78 to my Kenton and my Atari 1040st running cubase. I was blown away. To my ears, the kick on the CR-78 is better than the kick on my TR-909 and TR-808. (I still love them though.) I was drawn to the CR-78 because of the great interface that almost forces you to create new ideas. In my opinion when you add the ability to control the CR-78 via midi you get the ultimate analog beat experience. In order to use the midi function you will need one of the Kenton midi interfaces that has a KADI port. You will need a Kenton Pro-Kadi, pro solo, pro-4, or pro-2000."
