-Original OEM Roland Power adapter
-Owners manual on DVD
-Original box
The JSQ-60 is a polyphonic sequencer connectible with DCB synthesizers such as the JUNO-60 or JUPITER-8. Due to its large memory capacity of approximately 2,000 notes, the JSQ-60 can memorize a complete musical composition . The JSQ-60 can also memorize changes in the patch memory of the JUNO-60 or changes in the patch preset pairs of the JUPITER-8. The JSQ-60 is capable of both real-time and single-step loading. In the real-time mode, all performances played by the keyboard are loaded. And in the single step mode, the pitch of each note is loaded in each step. While listening to previously loaded performances, you can overdub up to three times in real time. Shifting the JUNO-60's patch memory and the JUPlTER-8's patch preset pairs and starting/stopping the JSQ-60 can be controlled by the DP-2 pedal switch. A cassette interface is provided for limit less data storage. Two Sync out jacks are provided to sync with devices such as the TR-606 DRUMATIX or TB-303 BASS LINE."

"Today was a productive day in two paralell ways...I have been making CDs with files for Jacob and White Willow.
So while Akai dps-24 #2 was working away on the discs...I could explore my new euro rack modular system. I have had some issues trying to figure out the doepfer a-155 trigger sequencer. But today I actually managed to make a useable beat in 4. Good times are guaranteed for all...While I was at it I also made a tonal sequence than ran beside it...There is of course nothing wrong with the gear...its all my fault. I have no idea what I am doing.

Korg Trident vintage analog synthesizer
via this auction
"Korg Trident Mark I... The Synthesizer section totally works. The brass section totally works, flanger works, but the strings section has a distorted sound and one note drop-out, which is strange to me because all 8 of the synth's voices are working. The "write" function I was not able to successfully execute, and there is a black wire which has come loose inside near the strings VCF and "preset" board (and also near the "write enable" switch on the rear panel. It is definately a ground wire grounded to/from(?) the Strings VCF/preset board. Since I am not certain where it should go, I have left it alone. Most of the 16 presets are still stored and memory/battery itself must be okay. All keys work, all switches work if not finicky, (except the afore-mentioned write switch), all LEDs are working, etc. Internally sound, with no apparent "work" being done, but could use a cleaning. The Trident is a very warm sounding synth and is capable of many textures and soundscapes when individual outputs are sent to a mixer and panned, etc. The SSM filters inside sound great and with the Korg oscillators, have a similar "woody" quality to a rev.2 prophet-5."Gravity ...
