"Matrix working and sliders are moving smooth, just like you would expect.

All modules have their Matrix slidercaps, only the blank panels don't. This system requires 110V so the buyer has to use a voltage converter, if the system stays in Europe or if it goes to Australia. Rest of the world is 110V, so no voltage converter needed. This system has serial#75-023. So this one was built in the year 1972.The cabinet is complete metall with wood attached to the sides. The modules in this system are: Dual VCO 1023, Osc 1004-T, Dual Noise/Random Voltage Generator 1016, Dual Envelope 1033, Multimode Filter 1047, Dual Envelope 1033, FiltAmp 1006, Dual Envelope 1003a, ModAmp 1005, Multimode Filter 1047, Power Control 1002. The system does not have a keyboard,but it does have a midi kit installed by a professional, the midi is from Doepfer, model MCV-8. So as this system has midi,you can use any midi controller, or the good old cv/gate."

"This is a system 100 model 101. A monophonic synth that can be used on its own or interfaced with a system 102. The sound and construction is from Roland's 'golden age' when they build synths with the highest quality components. The knobs and sliders have that silky smooth resistance where they feel like they should last 100 years. Subjective opinions: The sound quality could be described as 'pure' and 'powerful' its warm and clear at the same time, the osc sound is very rich and combined with its super fast envelope and wide range vca, proof that you don't need lots of osc to make a big sound. Percussion sounds are possible as well, if you set the env to 0 you can hear an audible click. great zaps and kick drums. The synth is pretty straight forward as a stand alone mono synth, but it still has a few tricks up its sleeve. for example you can patch the vco out into the filter and add a bit of filter fm, or alot to get ring-modulated type sounds with 1 osc. The filter apparently shares some of the design of tb-303, im not sure about this. I can say that it is quite squelchy but still 'vintage sounding' maybe similar to an ems synth for example, in other words, great! There are some high quality audio examples here"
