Never seen one of these before. Note the video above is not for the listing. I found it searching Youtube for a demo of one. Roland also made the MT-300. The MT300 has MIDI out while the MT80s does not, which means the MT80s is solely a MIDI player and cannot be used to sequence external gear.

"See photos and video. Like New - I would call this Mint. If you're interested, message me 1st and make sure it qualifies as your definition of Mint. It's sold ASIS with Video and Photos. It's a delicate beauty - probably the sexiest boombox ever made. It will be respectfully wrapped for a safe delivery.
Accessories: (unknown if OEM - but I've had them all paired with this unit for over 20 years - so...)
• Microphone - For the Mixing Mic Input on the unit. Works great! But, there is wire stress and cut out unless bend a certain way - you know what I'm talking about - it's in the photos as a close up.
• Headphones - The 1/8 to 1/4 adapter on these is RadioShack.
• Maxell UR Cassette Tape - Not used except for the demo and maybe a bit from other testing.
• AC Cord
• Speaker Jumper Cables Left and Right"
A hybrid of a boombox, synth / drum machine and tape machine. A little dusty but everything works. Write your swan song....
The speakers and the keyboard are detachable. The keyboard comes out when you push the boom box handle down. Apparently, it is pretty difficult to find these with the wireless keyboard still working. The keyboard can be played and recorded directly to cassette. It’s got a little LCD display which displays the instrument that's being played and the key that's pressed. The synth sounds are: piano, harpsichord, organ, violin, flute, horn, fantasy, and mellow."
"As promised from my Arturia POLYBRUTE review, I've been making more sounds and have just upgraded to the version 2.0 firmware to allow some new cool possibilities. This original song, 'Boombox Slide', is inspired by the 1980's funk style of Prince, Cameo, Janet Jackson, Morris Day and the Time, etc. The song actually started right after I made one of the new sounds featured here, "Haywire", which itself was inspired from the keyboardist of the same name. All of the sounds, with the exception of "VHS Keys", were programmed by me and were very fun to create on the Polybrute. Enjoy!"
"In the early 80s, the portable consumer electronics market was still in its infancy; many companies were still testing the waters with incredibly innovative products. Here’s a perfect example: What you see above is an analog drum machine, a chord generator, a cassette recorder, a AM / FM radio and a boombox, all in one device - Sony's CFS-C7 Chord Machine. Connect a guitar or a microphone, select a drum pattern, program some chords, hit record & make musical history. ππΆ"
An awesome and rare oddity. The Casio KX101 is a rarely spotted and surely on the endangered Synths list. Alas they have not been bred in captivity and we will most likely never see more of them.
Why companies don’t build pieces like anymore is bewildering. It’s looks and sounds amazing and is actually incredibly practical.
For all you collectors we present the Casio KX101. In excellent working condition with acceptable blemishes for a piece from 1984 save for a small crack to the casing near the line inputs and outputs."

"the synth bike 2.0 #Synthesizer #Bike. finally got it working again after 2 months but sadly its seen better days, im going to design it as a pcb project because its actually a pretty good machine to jam on.
The Volvo 850 samplepack will be about next week! it will probably be available sooner on my patreon! i still need to slice up all of the audio! But patreon is helping getting these vids out nice and speedy! and NEXT week im picking up the GAMEBOY MEGAMACHINE project which i will be covering a lot over there :-
"In the early 2000’s, Los Angeles cultivated an underground hip-hop beat culture, where every budding producer were on the same wavelength, experimenting like mad scientists in laboratories, and producing their next instrumental masterpieces.
A community formed around these artists who crafted a lo-fi, gritty sound that warbled and hissed like worn cassette tapes and vinyl. Glitched effects, samples and loops—driven along by a minimal kick/snare/hat groove—were created and performed on the Roland SP-404 Sampler.
This video shares memories from Dibia$e, Flying Lotus and Ras G but barely scratches the surface of a scene that grew from the roots of Project Blowed, Sketchbook, Boombox and Low End Theory. Now, from dedicated YouTube channels to SP-based Beat Maker showcases to loyal online communities, this underground beat culture from L.A has now found a global home.
On April 4, #404DAY, we celebrate every producer—from the lo-fi pioneers to the aspiring beat maker—that has chosen a Roland SP sampler to be your instrument and voice."
Note the speakers are missing. You can find one speakers posted back in 2013 here.
Vintage 1980s Fisher SC-300K Am-Fm-Sw Cassette Boombox with built-in and detachable SCK-30 “Stereo Music Composer” synthesizer keyboard. Unit is in good cosmetic condition and partially working but not complete so being sold for parts or restoration.
Boombox was tested by hooking up stereo speakers with 1/8” mini jack plugs; Radio is working on all bands and heard many stations on Am & Fm with very good fidelity and volume. Didn’t spend time on the 2 shortwave bands. Cassette is not working but it just needs new belts; all the buttons are working and tape loads & ejects fine plus I can hear the motor running indicating it will work once repaired with belts.
The electronic keyboard and synth is working both with the boombox and separately with RCA cables connected to an amplifier. There is an LCD display showing the notes or keys being used. A sequencer with an eight-pattern memory stores just over 500 notes. The keyboard’s battery compartment is clean and has the cover. Same with the boombox; no leakage or bad contacts. Includes cover and AC cord. There is an internal voltage adapter for use on 120-210-240 worldwide settings.
It is being sold as is as shown, missing the speakers. Also, there are some cosmetic issues like a bend in the antenna; a plastic hook is broken on the top right that mates with the keyboard, but the synth locks down on both sides and is held securely as it is now. Also there are various scratches and rub marks on the tuner & cassette faceplate as well as the keys are discolored from age & sun but overall it still presents nicely."
"The perfect Christmas gift for the music lover in your life! Casio KX101 synthesizer, boombox, FM/AM, Stereo, Cassette recorder. Extremely rare and highly collectible. It is in excellent condition, everything works including the cassette player which is very rare. Battery compartment is clean. Comes with two extra longer speaker cables, power supply and a copy of the owners manual. I pack well and ship quickly. Please view my positive feedback and bid with confidence. Thanks for viewing and Happy Holidays!"
"softPop is a playfully organic, semi-modular light and sound synthesizer with wide variety of sounds: from random dripping water pops to heavy subtractive basslines. Its fully analog core consisting of a heavily feedbacked system of dual triangle-core oscillators, state variable filter and sample and hold is played through an intuitive interface of 6 faders that provide countless combinations which can be explored by anyone."
"We are really happy to finally announce the softPop ! Since the first public preview at the Superbooth we have pushed its design even further, fine tuned its inner workings but most importantly we have developed anodised aluminium enclosure with laser engraving. That gives the machine durability boost and empowers its portability.
softPop is a playfully organic, semi-modular light and sound synthesizer with wide variety of sounds: from random dripping water pops to heavy subtractive basslines. Its fully analog core consisting of a heavily feedbacked system of dual triangle-core oscillators, state variable filter and sample and hold is played through an intuitive interface of 6 faders that provide countless combinations which can be explored by anyone. It can also process external audio thru the filter while using the envelope follower to intuitively synchronise to the incoming signal. Extensive mini patchbay offers lots of reconfigurability and 3 jacks A,B,C can be used to send signals in or out of the patch bay. Battery operation, built in speaker and carrying handle make it the ultimate picnic boombox! The analog soul is enhanced by a quantize feature (auto-tune) and pattern generator with two memories P1 and P2. For adventurous and courageous souls there is a secret chamber in the back for hacking & modding.
PRICING AND AVAILABILITY
softPop is available now for pre-order at noise.kitchen and select dealers for 309 EUR excl. Tax
The first batch of preorders will ship late August 2017. Additional wooden handle backplate is available as separate accessory."
"Showing sounds of this rare casio synth on ebay. although it looks like a toy or novelty instrument it has some great sounds, especially in unison mode some hard chorus jumps in and sounds very nice. rhythm sounds are also great analog noises. cassette on this particular synth does not work properly, it runs on low speed and is perfect for experimental drones."
"Audio is from Cameramic which records the sound of the Intellijel Boombox speakers.
Sequence by Qu-Bit Octone. Extra Sound Mutable Instruments Rings
Control by Sputnik keyboard.(Video consists of two different parts.Second part starts at 1:50)"
Great skiff case. BTW, anyone know who coined the name skiff for euro cases? The definition for skiff is: "a shallow, flat-bottomed open boat with sharp bow and square stern."
