"It's compact, powerful, and a really solid piece of gear. The MPC1000 packs a real punch. These are a few programs from the factory flash memory card."

This song is old Taiwanese pop song which was written in 1949 by 張邱東松. Original version was sang by 郭金發. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5HLfRzVPR0
Then, many Taiwanese singers have covered this song including Teresa Teng. Our version is consistently original arrangement, but basically referenced to Teresa Teng's version in 1971.

In this video, Yuichi Onoue plays his handmade ribbon controller. It can change a oscillator pitch smoothly, depending on the place which you press down. It was originally made as a kind of MOOG SYNTHESIZER's controller in late 60's. I made this following its example. And playing style is self-taught.

ROLAND SH-7 With Original Price Tag

SN 840754 with Original Sales Tag via this auction

Original price of ¥239,000 comes out to ~~$38,921.94~~.

Update: make that $2272.23. I plugged in ¥239,000 in US dollars on Google and got $38,921.94 (see). Turns out that was Chinese Yuan, not Japanese Yen. Both use the same symbol. Google making me read again... That said, did these really go for that little? Curious if that is the original price tag or a later one when it was being sold used or being blown out.

"Beautiful SH7 in perfect working order with the original hard case from Roland and the original price tag still attached to the power cable. These very rarely come up on ebay, let alone in this condition, with the original case and tag. All functions tested and functional. Very nice unit."
