Roland MKS-7 super quartet

"ROLAND MKS-7 synthesizer, very rare, it was called super quartet for it features a CHORD, MELODY, BASS and DRUM section, each with individual audio outputs and tuning.
The Chord and Melody sections are a Juno 106. I used to drive this MKS-7 from a Juno 106 keyboard, programming the patches on the 106 and then transmitting them via sysex to the MKS-7. If slightly detuned, the pair can deliver some real good strings! The bass section is the closest thing to the original TB-303 I have ever heard (I know...you'll call me an heretic now! :-) Also I do not know of any other synths capable of delivering bass lines so deep, so fat, so powerful. The drum section is a TR-707 in rack. The web is full of info on this rare synth. Many still do not know that the MKS-7 is programmable directly from the panel, accessing all parameters as if you had a Juno 106. This model is in perfect condition and 100% working."
