"1978 Roland GS-500 Guitar Synthesizer and Controller in collector-grade, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the hardshell case for guitar controller and the original manual. Exceedingly rare, with said rarity elevated further by the pristine condition and completeness of this example, the GS-500 was the world’s first guitar-controlled synthesizer. Introduced as a string-based alternative to keyboard-controlled synthesizers, this system gained popularity with musicians including Mike Rutherford of Genesis and Alex Lifeson of Rush.

"1981 Roland Studio System-100M Modular Synthesizer and Model 181 keyboard controller in exceptional condition and in perfect working order. Stunningly well-kept and complete with numerous patch cables as well as the original shipping box for the keyboard controller, this vintage analog synth is complete and freshly serviced.
First released in 1978, the System 100M was Roland’s scaled-down follow-up to the iconic System 700, their first truly modular unit. It was released in tandem with 13 individual rack modules available for integration into the system. This particular System 100M features the 191-J 5-module case rack. While the 181 keyboard and 191-J case are not not from the same original unit, they were (according to serial numbers) produced in short proximity to each other.
There are 5 individual modules currently mounted in the 191-J case:

"The Roland SH-5, one rare and very cool vintage synth, probably one of the best looking synths ever made, truly unique sounds, the bandpass filter is incredible sounding on this! FULLY SERVICED two months ago, this is 110 voltage for U.S. No international shipping on this one sorry! I am NOT super eager to sell this! All latches present and working, tolex in good shape, even has the original rubber feet! The only issue is the door for where the power cord gets stashed came off, pretty simple fix, just need two tiny screws to reattach, otherwise condition is 8 out of 10,"

Bill Wolfer: It's the 50th Anniversary of my Minimoog!
video upload by Bill Wolfer
"I bought this Minimoog Model D in 1972, and have had it ever since. It was recently restored, so I made a video to celebrate it and its birthday!
All the sounds are straight from the Mini plugged direct into a Focusrite interface connected to an iPad, with reverb and echo provided by the iPad.
Thanks to David Rogoff for the excellent restoration work."
P.S. "It was my first synth--I bought it in 1972! Serial number 1407, clear wheels and all. Still has the original oscillators."
P.P.S. Bill Wolfer played in Michael Jackson's Thriller. You can find his self title releases and a short bio on discogs here.

"Great working pro one. Nice keyboard (j-Wire). Has some scratches and dings, check the pictures.
Fully working properly.
MTG TURBO + Midi is a huge boost to this unit. All the original features, and all the original analog circuitry plus the following:
Check out music technologies group dot com
Each sequence can be up to 256 steps (compared to total of 40 steps on the original).
Sequences are retained in memory even after power-down. The CPU module does not use a battery.
Power-on settable parameters for clock start mode, arpeggio up/down end notes, arpeggio down mode and arpeggio gate time.
Sequence Tie mode allows for a variety of note lengths.
Sequence End mode lets you chain the two sequences.
Firmware update (�re-flashing�) over MIDI (using MIDIOX or similar).
Monophonic MIDI output of arpeggiator and sequencer data.
Polyphonic MIDI output of keyboard data.
Arpeggiator and sequencer sync-able to MIDI Sync In (settable clock rate).
Load/Save sequence data over MIDI.
MIDI In, MIDI Out and optional MIDI Thru.
Optional MIDI In/Out activity LEDs.
This unit also includes a 3 prong power supply and a ground loop fix. (look into Pro One hum grounding mod, the units have some issues with that for some people).
All mods professionally installed and are done with connectors, so the voice board can be removed for any future service."
