New Roland DJ-808 with Built-In TR Drum Machine

"The DJ-808 is a state-of-the-art DJ controller with a 4-channel mixer, built-in drum sequencing, vocal processing, and the deepest Serato DJ integration available. Going way beyond a typical DJ controller, the DJ-808 is an instrument, with a Roland 'TR-S' drum machine that contains the world’s most iconic drum sounds and can even control the Serato Sampler within Serato DJ. The VT Voice Transformer can pitch your voice to match the key of your Serato DJ tracks, while two AIRA Link ports let you connect compatible synths and electronic gadgets, and produce a live remix, with just a simple USB cable. Sound quality is high-end and the hardware is built tough yet easy to carry—ready for inspired sets that push the boundaries of what it means to DJ."

Published on Sep 8, 2016 zibbybone

"If you hold 'Track 1' and 'Pattern 1' buttons while switching on the TR-909, the factory patterns and song will load into the drum machine. Be sure to back up your own patterns and songs before this process since it will clear the memory."

"Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 Rev 3.2 w/Midi, Analog Polyphonic Synthesizer Model 1000, SN 6210

Just been checked out by pro keyboard repair company in southern California and loaded with factory presets. I believe that this is version 3.2 because it holds 58 presets. That is the only way I can determine the version.

Very good condition. It has some signs of wear and use but nothing major. Missing a couple screws that hold the bottom plate.

Includes IEC cable and manual."
