SYNDRUM Quad Vintage Analog Custom...for sale!

SELLER INFO:
This listing is for a nice Syndrum Quad with custom wood sides. The unit is 100% functional and in nice cosmetic condition as well. Included is a really long (I think it's 15 or 20 ft) breakout cable in order to trigger the 4 modules. It was wired into my patchbay so you will just need to add 1/4" connectors to the 4 ends. I had it custom made because the original trigger cable was short and always got tangled.

SOUNDMASTER Stix 305...analogue...for sale!

SELLER INFO:
Sound Master Stix ST-305 Analogue Drum machine.
A great little drum machine made in 1981 which was a direct answer to the Roland Trs.

In very good condition.
It has a very strong mellow thump sound to the kick and general all round analogue warmth which can be controlled from the sweep of the hard to soft tone control to bring its presence out, it sounds great.

Sequencer - 16-step sequencer with Fill-in and Variation effects
Patterns - 8 programmable rhythm patterns (six 16-step, two 12-step)
It also has control trigger in and out, one a constant clock pulse and the other programmable via the accent.

The real beauty of the is machine is it has a direct output for every drum sound.
I have only ever used this drum machine with batteries as I never wanted to risk using a power supply or giving it the wrong voltage or impedance, but I’m sure it would work fine with a power adaptor, but as I say it’s a lovely machine and I wasn’t prepared to take that risk and the batteries last for ages anyway, the batteries are used for its memory also.

It does come with its original manual but it’s in German you may be able to find a UK manual on line somewhere.

Please note, personally it took me a bit of time to get my head around it to program, and it has to be programmed to get any sound out of it, but once up and running it is a very unique drum machine and I’m sure there’s not many of these around.

VINTAGE Roland TR700...for sale!

SELLER INFO:
I don't know too much about the history of this machine, but apparently it was one of the first units ever made by Roland. If you're looking for a vintage drum machine that really shows how vintage it is, then this is it. Nothing like this is made these days.

Powers up and plays ok, but there is noise when using the almost antique sliders. Comes with built in speakers and various inputs for start / audio input, etc.
Shipping is from Japan and is insured. Takes about 2 - 3 weeks, sometimes a bit faster.
*Seller is based in Fukuoka, an area of Japan which was unaffected by the recent earthquake and tsunami.
Thanks for looking, and please check out my other items. I live here in Japan, so i can track down most models of Japanese vintage equipment. Please contact me by mail (hard.off@gmail.com) if you would like help with something. cheers - Matt

RARE Vintage Ace Tone Rhythm Ace FR8L....for sale!

SELLER INFO:
Vintage Ace Tone Rhthym Ace FR8L 'Rhythym Producer' analogue Drum Machine.
These machines are becoming more and more rare, and this one is in full working order.
'Ace Tone' were founded in 1960 and went on to become a name we all know these days, Roland.
This unit was launched around 1974, and dates from that time.
It's housed in an elegant wooden cabinet, which has a couple of minor scuffs and marks, but for something that's almost 40 years old, and was heavily used in its earlier days, it's done not badly. The only thing 'wrong' with it, is the screws have been removed from the folding music desk! The Music desk is there (as can be seen in the pics) and will need 6 small screws to re-attach it.

We have a sensible reserve on this unit, or you can buy it now!
There is only this one, and once it's sold, it's sold.
As it is such an instrinsically valuable piece of musical history, we would prefer it to be collected, but will courier at cost.

Note, these usually sell for between £130 and £160 and the reserve price reflects this.
If someone uses the 'buy it now' button we will however, include carriage if required.
