"My Girlfriend has watched me drool over a Voyager for so long that for my Birthday she decided to just make one for me! :D"

"This rare commercial from 1971 hasn't aired in at least 20 years. As a kid in the 70s, it really scared the hell out of me. Now it's a shrine of ultimate nostalgia. Gotta love that early 70s retro look, eh? I know there's a lot of you out there that remember this as kids so here's your chance to relive and enjoy it once more."

"This is a weird little box made by Farfisa. It's a groove box like machine from the 1990's. I really don not know much about it and web stuff is salesman pitch information. What I do know; all the sounds are from the Roland Sound Canvas's of the 1990's and they even have the same name. They only sounds that are the same is any Roland specific sound (The 808 bank is called Analog). There are 128 sounds plus the drum kits. The little keyboard is funky, you do not use it in real time to control sounds. You do use it to set up your orchestration pitch or the key you desire in chord patterns, see video. To use the sounds you must hook a midi controller (see video), it's a sound module as well. A really cool feature is the mic/audio inputs, you can ran a signal through the built in effect processor(see video) or the vocal harmonization(no video, I do not have a mic, but I have processed a signal trough it, to ensure that it works). The internal sequencer is a 16 track sequencer but not really, you get for 4 banks and 4 tracks each.(intro, break[intro], outro[intro], verse, chorus1, chorus2) If you use an external sequencer, you only get three tracks per sequence, 2 of the sounds banks share the same midi channel and I have not figured out away around this, the midi is mapped out goofy. All the presets are editable, there is an effects processor for the built in sounds as well, a mixer for drums, all 4 sounds banks, and audio inputs. The unit uses 3.5 disk, I will include about 100 blank disk. The OS is already loaded in the machine and you do not have load in it ever again(backups OS disk included). I bought this on ebay under the false pretense that it has a sampler, it does not. There is a sample section, but it's for "sampling" sounds off sounds disk that were once made for this.

* 128 sounds (Roland SC sound module sounds) plus drum kits
* 16 track sequencer
* 4 audio outputs
* 2 mic/line inputs for vocal harmonizer or effects processor
* Manual included plus 100 disk
* Drums are either preset or user manual
* Fully programmable and editable"

Roland SBX-1000 sync box and midi sequencer

via @psilosamples

Anyone know where to find the system disk for an SBX-1000? I'm not seeing it on the Roland FTP site here.

This MySpace page mentions someone that did obtain a copy.

Below is a pic of what an original SBX-1000 looks like.

Also see the SBX-10 and SBX-80.

Rare Vintage Roland SH-3

via this auction

"Vintage Roland SH-3 synthesizer. Original limited run before they were forced to change out the filters due to moog design infringement. The model then became the SH-3a. 'The Roland SH3 was produced in 1974. It is more rare than the SH3A which was put into the market after Moog sued Roland for the original SH3’s filter design. This is one reason the Roland SH3 sounds so incredible. Rumor has it that less than 100 of these were ever made.'"
