"This is a great analog synth from the mid-1980's. This one has the Kiwi Mod installed which adds hundreds of sound slots, adds more modulation options, stores patches in static RAM (so no battery needed anymore), etc.
Includes the original Roland hard case.
The synth is in very good shape and everything works EXCEPT the arpeggiator and the sequencer features of the Kiwi Mod do not work. This could be fixable. I didn't do the mod and when I bought it things didn't work right. I found a short between two data lines caused by a tiny solder blob. Once I removed that, the synth played perfect except for the arp and sequencer. Maybe the installer made some other minor mistake affecting these other features. (This may have to do with the resistors that get altered when mod is installed. I just don't have time to look.)"
