"Rare vintage EPro Minisynth analog synthesizer keyboard. This was made in Holland in the early 1980s. Operates at 220v (you'll need a 110v step-up transformer to use in the USA, an approximately $30 part, we can make recommendations for one if needed just ask). Apparently only approximately 25 of these units were made, possibly made by the company DGS which had manufactured two synths, the Scorpion and this Mini-Synth. It looks similar to the Holland made Synton Syrinx from the same time period. This is a CEM based synthesizer with loads of CEM chips inside. It's in great shape for its age and fully functional. Sounds lovely, a unique rare synthesizer."

"Not to be confused with the Crumar Bit One keyboard, this is the rack of the Bit 99. The older Bit One keyboard contained SSM chips. This unit contains CEM chips. It sounds great!

This unit's been professionally serviced and is working perfectly. We installed the excellent Tauntek OS which adds full MIDI CC control over all parameters - this makes it much more useful as you can automate parameters and program it from midi CC knob boxes or computer editors, and is a must have.

We also installed a new battery and replaced capacitors in the power supply as a preventative measure.

This unit was originally sold in Europe (as most of them were) and is therefore 220 volts, so if you're not in a country where that's the norm, you'll need the correct transformer. These are cheap and readily available."

"Ensoniq Mirage rack DMS1 with Gotek USB floppy emulator. Manual, advanced sampling guide, quick reference card, and a USB stick with several folders of Ensoniq sound disks and 3rd party disk libraries. The OS still loads as slowly as it did from diskette, but the sounds load faster, and a single USB drive can hold many disks/partitions. The included USB drive will also have utilities and conversion tools for the floppy emulator."

"This is an original owners manual for a Roland System 100 Model 101 synthesizer. This has signs of use and has the word 'MASTER' written on it, as it was the master that Roland US used to make copies from . This also includes a fold out advertising brochure for the System 100 included."

Interesting bit of synth history if true. As always, feel free to comment below.

Update: new description from the listing:

"This is an original owners manual for a Roland System 100 Model 101 synthesizer. This has signs of use and has the word "MASTER" written on it, as it was the master that Roland US used to make photocopies from to sell.

This also includes a fold out advertising brochure for the System 100 included.

I worked at Roland, so, yeah, it's the real deal. Would be happy to prove it if you're in doubt."

And via the seller in the comments below:
"Its real and true. I (Boomer) worked at Roland almost a decade. When Roland moved and got rid of a lot of old parts (and employees) one of the things they axed was owners manuals reprinting. For years they just photocopied manuals for anything that wasn't a current product. You see "master" written on many copies of manuals circulating the internet, and I own just about all of those masters. I have decided to let them go since I only keep them carefully stored away, and someone else might actually use these or showed off like they should be. If anyone questions the authenticity, I can easily prove I worked there and that the story is true. Or you can contact any of the authorized US service centers and ask if they know me, as I was in charge of assisting every one of them with piano, synth, organ or sampler repairs remotely."
