The Roland Super Quartet - The 80s band in a box!
Alex Ball
Check out more of Alex Ball's synth videos here.
"If you’re after a classic Roland Juno-106 or TR-707, you might not know that both (plus a bass synth) are found inside the MKS-7 or “Super Quartet” from 1985.
Roland made various rack mount versions of their 80s synths in the MKS range, but the Super Quartet is a little different and is somewhat related to their earlier CMU-800.
In this video we take a look at what it does, how it was intended to be used and how it can be used in ways that weren’t intended.
Espen Kraft even shows up. What’s not to love?
