"Killer analog synth with built in SH-101 style seqeucner and awesome drum machine! Capable of nearly complete tracks in one box. On top of that, there is an amazing patchbay that allows modular interfacing with any patchable or modular system in existence. Unit was built by Mutable Instruments and comes with a tested power supply and copy of manual."

Description via Wikipedia [it's interesting that individual synths are now getting dedicated pages there]:

"The Roland MC-202 (MicroComposer) is a monophonic analog synthesizer/sequencer released by Roland in 1983. It is similar to the TB-303 and SH-101 synthesizers, featuring one voltage-controlled oscillator with simultaneous saw and square/pulse-width waveforms. The unit is portable and can be operated from batteries or an external power supply.

The internal synthesizer features one voltage-controlled oscillator with simultaneous saw, square/pulse-width and sub-octave square waveforms. Additionally there is a 24dB Low Pass filter, an LFO and a single ADSR envelope generator.

In terms of circuitry, it is nearly identical to the earlier SH-101 synthesizers but lacks the noise generator, choice of LFO shapes and modualtion/pitch bend controls. However, unlike the SH-101, it does include a delay on the LFO. The two units also share a design aesthetic in terms of the control layout, casing, lettering, knobs and slider caps.

The MC-202 includes a sequencer that can play back two separate sequences simultaneously. Two sets of CV/Gate connectors on the rear of the unit allow for routing the sequences to external synthesizers. One of the two sequences is used to control the internal sequencer. The sequencer is programmed much like Roland's early digital MC-4 and MC-8 Microcomposer sequencers, whereby notes are entered with pitch, length and gate length. Additionally, each note in the sequence can be an accent and slide, which is similar to the TB-303 and the SH-101 and allows for so called acid sequences.

The sequences are lost if the unit is powered down, however a tape interface is provided so that sequences can be stored to and recalled from an audio tape recorder.

There are DIN sync inputs and outputs which allow the unit to synchronise playback, either as master or slave, with other DIN sync-equipped instruments such as the TB-303 or the Roland TR-808. The unit can also generate and sync to frequency-shift keying signals from a tape recorder."

"This is a partially preset, partially variable monophonic analogue synth. It has a very solid warm sound for a single VCO synth. The preset section is divided into two channels. Channel 1 has 15 sounds with the usual array of unrealistic instrument imitations and Channel 2 has 14 synth sounds plus a button to activate the 'manual' section of the synth. There is a slider to mix between the two channels and channel 2 can be detuned.

The 'manual' section comprises 1 VCO with a variable control between pulse and saw waves. There are also controls for pulse width modulation, noise and footings (32' - 2'). The 12dB filter has cut-off and resonance plus a dedicated ADSR envelope with a control for envelope amount. It has a nice wet and warm sound. There is a separate ADSR for the amplifier..."

via the listing: "If you don't know what this is or does, Google "Sequential Circuits Model 700 Programmer". If you know what it is, then you know how rare and unique it is. One of Sequential's first products, only 200 or so were made. List price for the "Mark I" was $1195.00 in 1979. I bought this one from Sammy Hagar's keyboard player, who had used it with a Minimoog on Hagar's "Red" tour. The walnut wood side panels had been painted black. I used it with a modular synth both live and in studios. In 1983?--it "lost" its memory. I took it to Sequential, and they replaced the memory battery [for free] and also gave me a schematic when i requested one. In 1985, I sold the modular synth [dang!] but kept the Mdl. 700 in case I got another modular--I never did. It was unused until 2001--I turned it on and the fuse blew. I took it to a Tech, who replaced the power capacitors and "put heat sinks on the voltage regulators"? Unused again until 2010-when I took the battery out to replace the dead one in my SCI Six Trak. Recently tried to check the outputs with a voltmeter.It looks like one of the envelope generators works, and one does not.I don't know what should be on the other outputs without the memory battery. Also,the display numbers do not always change when you turn the Bank Select knob. Otherwise, it is in very good physical condition-no rust, and only minor scratches and dings. It will definitely require Technical help. No returns. USA only shipping."

"1984 Sequential Circuits Drumtraks, drum machine, updated by Wine Country Sequential. This unit has lived in a climate controlled studio for nearly 30 years, I opened up the chassis so you can see exactly what sound chips are in there. You can see in the pictures, three added switches on the right side of the unit, these three added switches add extra sounds, also a bigger heat sink, was installed and watch out now, because this guy actually does get a lil hot. This unit is 100% functional and is in good shape with just a couple of minor dings and scuffs, but look great for being 30 years old..."
