"This is an original 70's Roland analog synthesiser in great condition! Very rare for a 40+ year old instrument (it has spent the past 15-20 years in storage). All the functions on the synth have been checked, they are working well and sound great.
This model began production in 1973 and was aimed at the home/organ market. It has 30 presets which can be modified with the control panel on the left. This configuration allows for a surprising number of sounds, which have that much sought after 70's Roland analog character.One amazing feature on this synthesiser is the aftertouch performance control This means that pressure applied to the key after it has been depressed can be sent to the filter cutoff, volume, pitch bend, vibrato or growl. There is also a sensitivity knob to control the amount of this effect allowing for high expressive performances.
The filter section on this particular synth sounds fantastic, exactly what you would expect from a 70's roland. There are sliders on the control panel for the cutoff, resonance and modulation (lfo) amount. There is also an build in random note generator, note repeat, note sustain and hold, octave transposer and control for the LFO (modulation) speed.
This unit is well build and complete (it even includes the music rest!). The only cosmetic damage is the lowest G key has a number of shallow cuts. The key is still just as strong as the others and functions perfectly. It is also wired for 240v. The winner bidding will not be disappointed.
