"For sale is a rare Roland MC500 MkII. This might be the nicest and most complete MC500 set you will find around. I got this from an original Roland gear tester, he lightly used this during Roland's testing period for the machine and then it went it its original box and in storage. It's very well maintained, the machine itself works perfectly and is in excellent, near mint shape. The box is also in great shape with original foam cutouts. The biggest bonus is the 8 discs included, which are quite rare, along with original manuals all in pristine shape. A classic sequencer and nice alternative to the Akai MPC60/ASQ10 or Alesis MMT8. An amazing set for collectors..."
"Six original patch cables are included: two white (approx 6" long), two yellow (approx 12" long), and two black (approx 18" long). These are the same cables that originally shipped with the MS-20 back in the 1970s.
This MS-20 includes the earlier Korg35 filter, which is supposedly more aggressive than the later LM13600 filter (see this page for extensive technical discussion on the differences)."

2nd video, also added to the Tone2 Rayblaster Feature Overview post.
The following description is the same as what's in the previous post.
"Rayblaster employs a new synthesis technique called Impulse Modelling Synthesis (IMS)
Opposed to using looped waveforms, Impulse Modelling Synthesis creates its sound by using short bursts of energy, which are then combined to form its sound. Allowing free manipulation of pitch, time and timbre in real-time, to create complex compositions.
IMS no longer requires a separate filter section, its oscillators can authentically mimic the filter sound of other synthesizers and filters, using one of the factory impulse presets or by simply importing one of your own impulses. RayBlaster is capable of modelling both the sound of existing filters, as well as create completely new artificial filters, exclusive to Rayblaster.
Next to importing filter characteristics into its oscillators, Rayblaster also offers resynthesize options to import the waveform of any other source or synthesizer. By using one of the quick importers, or by directly importing your sample into one of Rayblaster's four oscillators, providing a large amount of possible wave-shapes, all capable of being morphed in real-time.
RayBlaster ships with an inspiring library of over 500 outstanding presets from some of the world's top sound designers. Many complex sounds such as arpeggiators, vocals or drumloops automatically synchronize to the BPM.
For fast & easy access to the specific sound you desire, all sounds are arranged into categories, making them easy to locate whether for live performance or within a professional studio environment.

"It would take 20 minutes to walk through the entirety of this very deep digital delay for Eurorack systems. Suffice to say that this is my favorite in Euro and perhaps even outside of the format as well."
