via this auction "Roland MC-202 analogue synthesizer and 2x channel sequencer. It has a Kenton 5 socket kit installed, the sockets are CV, GATE, Filter and Portamento inputs, allowing the 202 to be controlled via a Kenton Pro Solo or similiar device.
For those that dont know the MC202 is basically a cross between a Roland SH101 and a TB303. It has the same synth engine as the SH101 and sounds the same, but has a sequencer very much like the TB303, where you can program sequences much like on the TB303, you have slide and accent to get those acid type sequence lines.
The sequencer is actually 2 channels, one internal for the synth engine and another channel that can be used to control another external synth.
The 202 comes with the original user manual and also the Kenton information regarding the socket kit upgrade."
Note the auction is for the strap only. Always read the full description at the auction, not here. I usually just grab the portion relative to the functionality or interesting history of the item.
"THE original leather strap that came with the sh-101synthesizer in the early 80's when it was released. the strap is more rare than the mod grip or the sh-101 carry bag which i will also likely be posting up soon. this strap is in EXCELLENT to PERFECT condition and was NEVER, EVER used. it is made from sturdy, nice, good quality brown leather. it has ROLAND and the roland logo imprinted into the leather. looks really really great. a very beautiful vintage strap. this auction is for the strap ONLY. this is a very rare addition to compliment your sh-101 or for a collector."
"Berlin, March 23rd, 2010 - Native Instruments today introduced ABBEY ROAD 70s DRUMS, the second instrument developed together with the iconic British recording studios. Providing two expertly engineered classic drum kits for use in the free KONTAKT PLAYER and the industry-leading KONTAKT 4 sampler, ABBEY ROAD 70s DRUMS delivers the essential punch and flair for typical Seventies sound aesthetics and various modern music styles.
At the heart of ABBEY ROAD 70s DRUMS are two sought-after drum kits of the Seventies, a Premier and a Ludwig, both painstakingly recorded in Abbey Road's legendary Studio Two renowned for its unique acoustic properties. While the Ludwig kit provides the typical big and roomy sound that is a hallmark of many classic rock songs of the Seventies, the Premier kit was recorded in a deadened environment within the famous studio to create a tight and punchy tone that also lends itself to R&B, disco and other contemporary genres. All samples were captured using Abbey Road's profound engineering expertise and outstanding arsenal of vintage equipment. Classic microphones from the studios' famed collection, the exclusive EMI TG mixing desk, an analog 2-inch tape machine and other authentic outboard gear all contribute to the charismatic and genuine sound of ABBEY ROAD 70s DRUMS.
Up to 34 velocity layers per instrument with up to six additional variation samples guarantee ultimate authenticity both for rhythm programming and for real-time MIDI-controlled playing, with a selection of different MIDI mappings accommodating the established layouts of various popular electronic drum kits and third-party drum libraries. Separate "vintage" and "modern" microphone setups provide a choice between classic and contemporary tone, with the Ludwig kit also offering an optional "Glyn Johns" configuration, a technique used for some of the most acclaimed drum recordings of the Seventies era.
The user interface of ABBEY ROAD 70s DRUMS makes full use of the advanced GUI features of KONTAKT, providing convenient controls for articulation, sound shaping, mixing and routing. Advanced randomization can even add subtle nuances to the tone and timing to make it virtually indistinguishable from a conventional studio-recorded drum performance.
ABBEY ROAD 70s DRUMS is available for purchase in the NI Online Shop on DVD and as a download for $119 / 99 EUR.

"Granada Television's 'Celebration: Madchester - The Sound of the North'
At the height of the so-called 'Madchester' scene or 'baggy' if you will, this captured everything in all its glory. For a start Northside featured in a major item. Footage shows the band in interview, rehearsal, live in concert and even at work (well, the one band member who worked); Central Station Design in their studio creating something out of a pane of glass and loads of ephemera; Happy Mondays in Amsterdam - including Derek Ryder soundchecking for his son!; also includes 808 State and MC Tunes; Celebration was a Granada Television arts strand and undoubtedly Anthony H Wilson (So It Goes, The Other Side of Midnight, Remote Control, Content) must have had some influence in the making of a programme featuring Northside from his own record label."
