"Legendary books from Peter Forrest. Bought by me direct in the late 90s, iirc, so I could drool over things I didn't then have the money for, ha ha. It is the revised edition and is 0559/6000 of the limited edition.

It is well-used. There are a few minor tea stains throughout, a tear from the back cover as pictured and, as stated, it is well-thumbed. I spent many an hour reading through! This is reflected in the price. So, if you want a copy to refer to and not just put on a shelf, this is the one for you!

LOVELY 16-page full-coloured centre section. It takes each manufacturer in turn and ALL of their models and gives as much info as Peter could on each one, as well as his own opinions on them. Year of manufacture, original price, custom options, advertising material, price now (well...then - the late 90s!), well-known users etc, before going into the detail of each 'board. It's just a fantastic book and I always regretted not getting the 2nd.

And for those baulking at the price...check out the other listings! £200, £400 and £900?!?!?!"

Roland HS-60 61 Key Synthesizer

"Classic Roland HS-60/JUNO106 Analog Synthesizer. Works pretty well except for some little issues that pop up. Sometimes the filter is a bit weird as well as the patches. The patches sometimes switch settings which is most likely due to dirt which would probably disappear with a good dusting and cleaning. Also has some scratchy pots and sliders."

Chips likely going out...

In the beginning there were two eurorack formats, Doepfer and Analogue Systems. They used different power rail systems so although both were 3U eurorack, you couldn't intermix modules in the same system. You could however patch across them. Doepfer's system took off and the majority of other eurorack makers followed.
