"BOSS DR-55 Dr. Rhythm is a classic drum machine released in 1979, known for its simplicity and distinctive analog drum sounds. It features four drum sounds (bass drum, snare drum, hi-hat, and rimshot) and allows users to program their own rhythms.
It comes with original box and BOSS stickers, manuals. The battery box is cracked and is held together with transparent tape, but this is not visually noticeable and poses no problem at all for battery use (please see the pics)"

"Upon learning that my new EMS VCS3 (Cornwall) was SN#1561, I looked up that year and learned that in Nuremberg, on Apr 14th, 1561, there was a report of a celestial phenomenon that was supposedly experienced by the townsfolk. This is an interpretive soundpainting performed entirely on the VCS3.
The primary source document is known as the Nuremberg Broadsheet. It was written and illustrated by Hans Glaser and translated by Isle Von Jacobi. The text describes an arial battle which ufologists have claimed is evidence of visitation by aliens. The primary source reads as follows:
'In the morning of April 14, 1561, at daybreak, between 4 and 5 a.m., a dreadful apparition occurred on the sun, and then this was seen in Nuremberg in the city, before the gates and in the country – by many men and women. At first there appeared in the middle of the sun two blood-red semi-circular arcs, just like the moon in its last quarter. And in the sun, above and below and on both sides, the color was blood, there stood a round ball of partly dull, partly black ferrous color. Likewise there stood on both sides and as a torus about the sun such blood-red ones and other balls in large number, about three in a line and four in a square, also some alone. In between these globes there were visible a few blood-red crosses, between which there were blood-red strips, becoming thicker to the rear and in the front malleable like the rods of reed-grass, which were intermingled, among them two big rods, one on the right, the other to the left, and within the small and big rods there were three, also four and more globes. These all started to fight among themselves, so that the globes, which were first in the sun, flew out to the ones standing on both sides, thereafter, the globes standing outside the sun, in the small and large rods, flew into the sun. Besides the globes flew back and forth among themselves and fought vehemently with each other for over an hour. And when the conflict in and again out of the sun was most intense, they became fatigued to such an extent that they all, as said above, fell from the sun down upon the earth 'as if they all burned' and they then wasted away on the earth with immense smoke. After all this there was something like a black spear, very long and thick, sighted; the shaft pointed to the east, the point pointed west. Whatever such signs mean, God alone knows. Although we have seen, shortly one after another, many kinds of signs on the heaven, which are sent to us by the almighty God, to bring us to repentance, we still are, unfortunately, so ungrateful that we despise such high signs and miracles of God. Or we speak of them with ridicule and discard them to the wind, in order that God may send us a frightening punishment on account of our ungratefulness. After all, the God-fearing will by no means discard these signs, but will take it to heart as a warning of their merciful Father in heaven, will mend their lives and faithfully beg God, that He may avert His wrath, including the well-deserved punishment, on us, so that we may temporarily here and perpetually there, live as his children. For it, may God grant us his help, Amen. By Hanns Glaser, letter-painter of Nurnberg.'"

"CR-8000s are seriously lovely drum machines, but they have tended to last less well over the years than some of the other classic Roland drum machines. This one is an exception. It looks like it could have been made yesterday. Why have we not called it mint? Well, if you study the close-up pic of the left front corner, you might see some tiny marks. But this still exudes an amazing quality of newness.
In full working order (obviously scarcely played at all in its life) with its original user manual and service manual, and with its original carton and internal polystyrene bits. It also has its original dust cover, which possibly helps explain how incredibly new it looks. We'll cover the carton in card to keep it free of address labels etc..: 6GBP."

"This is a professionally built Formant Pro latest version. It has a Midi CV keyboard that plays really well. It is in superb visual condition. There may be the odd crackle or contact problem in a knob or jack but it is in principle fully working. the reverb need to be attached to a reverb tank. its a massive system with a sound to match. I had a few homemade models as well. this is miles apart in terms of quality."

"One of the classic analogue modular (OK semi-modular) synths. It's actually not perfect condition on cosmetics, as you can see in the photos. There are some scratches on the sides and back - though the important bit (the front panel) is in very good condition indeed.
But the sound is excellent as expected, beefy and powerful, and really such a good semi-modular with complete Eurorack and MIDI compatibility. Switchable voltage - supply your own IEC lead for price, ease and safety of shipping."

"Very very rare and in very nice visual condition. By one of the greatest manufacturers of synthesisers. Can be played via an interface cable ending in 3,5 jacks for CV/Gate etc. (included). I used my Roland 184 (not included) because the 3000 wants to see a healthy voltage. I went through the main functions (oscs, filters, adsrs) made a few patches and everything seems to work well. However a good number of the potentiometers need cleaning and/or more usage. Expect to put in some standard maintenance work to make it perfect. The filters can easily be overdriven resulting in an aggressive sound."
