"Roland founder Ikutaro Kakehashi founded Ace Electronics in 1964, and this was one of their best products - later re-invented as the Roland TR-55. This example is re-badged Bentley Rhythm Ace for the British market (one of the few drum machines to have a band named after it). It has its original metal footswitch."

"This is a listing for the ACE TONE FR-15. In addition to the presets similar to the FR-6, this unit allows you to program one of the five sounds—Bass Drum, Snare Drum, Cymbal, Claves, or Conga—using 8-step or 16-step sequences. It has been tested and works perfectly. The voltage has been modified to 117V. The appearance shows some wear and scuffing, but there are no major damages. I have uploaded a demonstration video on YouTube, so please be sure to check it out."

"Afternoon session with Fenix II & III, Ace Tone Rhythm Ace FR-6, Waldorf Q.
To make it sound better I'd need to spend way more time on this patch, at least to mix the different voices properly, make a decent beat, play some notes by hand and so on, but I can't because of my health, so I'm posting this here and now."
