"This is a hard to find, very good condition original Reference manual book for the Roland JD-800 synthesizer keyboard. This is the very thick Reference Owner's Manual number II / advanced manual, for this 1991 synth. This book is an absolute must-have for this very advanced synthesizer. It shows some minor wear and marks on the covers, and the pages are in even better condition, with no writing or tears.

This large book is complete and goes into details with playing and programming your JD-800. This is an original Roland document, and was printed in Japan in 1991.

This is what you want if you have a JD. This is a powerful synth and you need the advanced manual to get the most out of using it!"

itijik BLOOD in the STREET (Kendrick Lamar Acapella)


video upload by itijik

New from supporting member itijik.

"I fight the world, I fight you, I fight myself
I fight God, just tell me how many burdens left
I fight pain and hurricanes, today I wept
I'm tryna fight back tears, flood on my doorsteps
Life a livin' hell, puddles of blood in the streets
Shooters on top of the building, government aid ain't relief
Earthquake, the body drop, the ground breaks
The poor run with smoke lungs and Scarface
Who need a hero? (Hero)
You need a hero, look in the mirror, there go your hero
Who on the front lines at ground zero? (Hero)
My heart don't skip a beat, even when hard times bumps the needle
Mass destruction and mass corruption
The souls are sufferin' men
Clutchin' on deaf ears again, rapture is comin'
It's all prophecy and if I gotta be sacrificed for the greater good"

Sherman Quad Mod Filterbank

"The Quad Mod Filterbank

95 were produced. Mine is #80. Legend goes Herman Gillis created the QMF at the request of the Chemical Brothers. They own #1. They wanted a compact way to connect multiple fliterbanks in a compact space. This is a very special beast to say the least. Listen to the chemicals if you want to know what it can do.

The receipt above shows I am the original owner and that I purchased it directly from Sherman.

History of the unit
Essentially been in a climate controlled box for 20 years. It's a long, winding, sad story. I have finally let go of the dream of someday using it. It's time to go. It was out of a box for maybe 8 months with 20 hours of use tops. I put velco on the bottom because I didn't want it to even move. I left the velcro in case you want to do the same. I have considered it one of only a few prized possessions in my life. (Including my Latronic Notron which I'm also selling.)
It has always been safe and protected humidity free.

I believe it is the QMF with the least amount of use in existence. I have no way of proving that, but my situation is pretty unique. Maybe Herman has one stashed away unused.

There was never a manual. Just the included flyer above in the photos.
The internal power supply is universal. It takes an IEC cable which I LEFT OUT for weight and because if you're like me you have too many already.

The QMF was carefully packed in a large double walled cardboard box.

If you're in Canada, Japan or Europe I might consider an offer since this is so rare, but it needs to be one I don't want to refuse.

Good Luck
Dwight"
