"KORG KR-55 for sale [via this listing]

Since they look so similiar it was too tempting to compare those 2 classic rhythm units. Despite their similar design they are quite different, and the comparision is not really fair to the Korg since the Roland has programing abiltities. The CR-5000 would have been a closer contender but I don't own one so it is the 8000.
Though the Korg Rhythm 55 has less features and sounds than the Roland it has more patterns (48 patterns wheras the Roland features 24 preset patterns and 8 user ones) and a tighter, punchier sound.
Overall I prefer the Roland, especially for percussive sound (cowbell, claves, tom, rimshot and that amazing clap) but the kick, snare and hi hats of the Korg are very nice.
The Korg was fitted with a 24 ppq clock input so it can easily be synced to other gear in the studio, as it is the case here, slaved to the Roland.
The Roland had it's Kick, Snare and Toms sounds modified slightly. The kick is lower and boomier than it originally is and the snare is way snappier than it originally is. The Tom had the white noise part removed to have a more round sound."

"Classic presets analog drum machine from 1979.

Unit was serviced and is in fully working order.
It was fitted with a 3,5mm jack clock input. It works on 24 PPQ so like most of the gear you will have in your studio and much easier to sync than the 8 PPQ the unit internally runs on. Check the video, as it is synced to the Roland CR-8000

Cosmetic is fair with some cracks on the case and bumps here and there, see pictures."

"PureData Pd and GEM."

Update: "GEM is an image processing package from PureData. Kogomi's particle images are based on this. I used to create images using Proce55ing, but I wanted to create visuals that were perfectly synchronized with MIDI signals, so I started using GEM. It's fine to simply stream images using a ready-made visualizer, but I wanted to create original visual images that were synchronized with sound."

Prototype 8 Voice Roland Jupiter 6

Pics of the inside below.

"This is one of likely one Roland Jupiter 6 with 8 voices. It was a custom project made by Roland engineers in the 80s. Usually the JP-6 has a 2 voice board and a 4 voice board, but this one has custom code and a fully populated second 4 voice board for more polyphony or two 4 voice splits. It also has a custom RAM mod that gives you 3x the patch banks for more patch storage.

The synth itself is in good shape. There are a handful of slider caps that don't match (from Juno 106 and JX3P) but that's only cosmetic. It is fully functional with no issues.

If you want something nobody else has, this is it."
