Stacked & Racked Custom Roland System 100 x 4 Plus More


"edit: IM NOT SELLING TO DEALERS. please dont waste my time. thank you!

i thought i will never do this but i need dough for outboard gear. so here it goes: for sale is a vintage stage system built by the cyborgs which were a berlin school outfit in the 70s. it was buillt by lutz who also visited me a few years ago i have pics somewhere. it was amazing to see him work this thing after 40 years of absence.

it consists of:

- 2x roland system 100 model 101 base module
- 2x roland system 100 model 102 expander
- 2x roland system 100 model 104 sequencer
- 1x ppg model 314 clocked sequential control
- 1x ppg model 313 sequential switch
- the orignial cv keyboard built into a wooden case
- documentation as much as i can find.

this was all built into two wonderful aluminum cases and connected with buses, stereo pans etc. too many functions to list here. there is one large multi plug that connects the two boxes and you can throw the power switch and start sequencing 4 voices of tangerine dream stuff. you can also look at it as an experimental semimodular synth stack. its a real stage instrument from the golden age of sequencing and really belongs into a museum.

technically its sound except a few crackling pots and the usual vintage modular mold. i hope lutz the creator will attest to this later in this fred. i will also go through it with a maintainance specialist to fix as much of this as possible.

the sound is way beyond anything that can be done in euroland, especially the filters. ive done many sessions with this system with my partner from rutlinbey and i will include one of them so you have an idea what you can do with this wonderful instrument.

im looking to trade this thing for a as complete as possible system 100 or at least a model 101 plus cash. the ppg sequencer alone is around 2k and the whole system is valued around 5k at the moment. i will only sell it to another musician and professional traders can take a walk right now. also if you just think about taking this thing apart and selling the parts you will die a slow and painful death.

in closing i might add that this is a very emotional decision and i am an emotional guy so things can change rapidly. feel free to make me all kinds of proposals and why you think you should have it.

addendum: there is no hurry with this deal. im going to spain for a month next week and everything happens after that.
