"This 2 owner CS-80 was purchased in 2020 completely serviced from Tone Tweakers in New York. Everything is working 100% and there is a midi mod on it that works perfectly as well. Due to the size of this unit, shipping can be discussed on a individual basis."

"Baloran The River, in perfect technical and cosmetic condition. Lightly used in a smoke-free home studio. Includes the original manual, flight case, and a spare voice card.
This is an extremely rare analog gem, with very few units ever made. It breaks my heart to sell it, but I simply don’t have the space—it’s a big instrument!
The listed shipping cost is an estimate; the final cost will depend on your preferred shipping method.
TECHNICAL SPECS

Polyphony with 8 voices, each voice card being a changeable physical card.
2 VCO, 1 VCF, 2 envelopes, 1 VCA, 1 LFO per voice, hardware routing for the modulations.
All components are operated while the instrument is switched on. Adjustments of micro-voltage taking into account the temperature insures the accuracy of the instrument.
Complete multitimbrality: 8 channels with free voice/channel allocation.
Wide-ranging management of the expressivity: aftertouch channel, pseudo aftertouch polyphony, attack AND release velocity.
High-end TP/8 5 Octaves Fatar keyboard.

Quasimidi Rave-o-lution 309 w/ RGB Display & Metallic Knobs

"The knobs were replaced with metallic ones, because we think they look cool.
This unit as been upgraded with the Synth and Drum expansion modules and has been given a beautiful RGB LCD. The three knobs at the front control the color and brightness. If you don't like the knobs, it would be an easy job to remove them and hardwire the color. Let us know if you want this done, prior to ordering.
The firmware is the latest known version, 3.00B"
