"Has a small blemish, clearly imaged above. Ships with power supply.
from CL:
Rolzer is a beat generator add-on for the , a drum and drama machine. The Plumbutter offers complete voltage control of all parameters, including its pulse-rolls, for generating beat tempo patterns. However, when voltage control is added to an androgynous circuit such as the rolz, it has the tends to roll-off the ultrasound chaos present in the original incarnation of this idea, the . So here we have the Rolzer, a collection of geometries graded into tempi by virtue of their capacitors. It is for developing a relationship and searching for the oddest, most alive rhythms, not by twiddling knobs but by making connections.
Here we can bring back the strong sense of idiosyncrasy only offered by non-knobbed geometries, without whimsey, by collaborating with the industrial value system of capacitors, known as "E6". Basically, a ratio of ten is broken logarithmically into six gradations, and these are mapped to a sense of tempo, associating Italian quality with Industrial quantity: presto, allegro, moderato, andante, adagio, lento, and grave become modules of 1, 1.5, 2.2, 3.3, 4.7, 6.8, and 10 microfarad values.
Now, each tempo module contains an assortment of even and odd rolls. From top to bottom: hexagon, triangle, square, pentagon, and hexagon again. There are two hexagons to offer that roll's plexus for connections. Before defining the colors, review the sandrode concept- androgynous nodes that neither input nor output, but perform both functions at different times. In the rolzer, they are simply transistor neurons, with three simple actions: discharge of a capacitor, building up to a threshold, and inverted pulsing another neuron. The sandrode function is at the junction of these three, forming both a sensor and a pulse generator. The rolzer modules' majority of connections are sandrodes, represented as brown nodes. In the language of plumbutter, brown is both a hot and a cool color, so it takes both those attributes, output and input. However, sometimes you just want an output, perhaps for voltage control of a manifesting gong. So, each roll has one orange jack that yields a square wave at the tempo of the roll.
Connections may be stacked, and since all the plumbutter and rollzer outputs have a current limiting resistor, anything can go into the brown bananas. However, note that the brown bananas have no current limiting resistor; this is essential to propagate the paradox wave effect. The impedance of a brown node feels like a diode junction to ground, plus a high impedance to positive. As of 2014, I have not received any complaints of broken browns, because most sensible synthesizers have some kind of current limiting resistor on their outputs. But make note that if you have a very old Serge, you will likely already know about its own smoking modules when outputs are crossed, and that old warning would apply when patching old Surge to a brown banana. In general, the browns are meant to be patched with each other, and connected to the green inputs of plumbutter for drum machine manifestation. Likewise, orange "should" go to blue or purple. And red and gray can come back into the browns here. But experimenting really can't hurt!"

"This is a working product that has been inspected and serviced by a professional manufacturer service.
All volumes and jacks have been cleaned.
All electrolytic capacitors and tantalum capacitors have been replaced.
There are some scratches and stains because of its age, but they do not interfere with the performance."

"Kiwisix upgrade with new batter, power cord, cpu and midi in-midi out. 1981 analog goodness! Chorus, phaser and ensemble strings effects. Slight damage to wood veneer on one corner. Good playing condition. See kiwisix manual for all the cpu functions. 1000 plus editable tones, kiwisix mod sequencer mode. FYI Arpeggio latch function is modified for use as sequencer mode, in other words you have to hold your hand on the arpeggio chords the entire time, no arp hold with kiwi mod unless it's a buried function that I have not found."

"Crumar Bit One Vintage Analog synth, classic Italian sounds.
This is a beast that has been well looked after and in very good condition for the year. I have had it for approx 10 years and now sadly selling. Decided to sell and have had it serviced at Synth Prof in Norfolk where it is currently so I know it is all working as it should, and will send it from direct to you from there. This has been priced at £70 to include full insurance.
It comes with original manuals, cassette etc."

"IN THIS VIDEO THERE ARE A LOT OF LOUD BASS AND HIGH FREQUENCIES. PLEASE MIND YOU EARS AND LOUDSPEAKERS!!!!!
Hope you enjoy my video of this fantastic (reborn) sound generator synthetizer that i do love.
Would many, many thanks to Korg/Arp, AlgamEko (specially Anna) and Magazzino Musicale Merula (Brà Italy) for let me a lucky and happy man.
