KAWAI R100 Vintage with expansion chip...for sale!

KAWAI R-100 Drum Machine
This is a RAW sounding drum machine. Dates 1985 and has alot of fans who like its particularly slamming, take no prisoners sound. Its best suited to musicians who are going to appreciate that Oberheim DMX kind of tone and who are prepared to work with a less intuitive programming interface compared to modern standards.

That said in the right hands this is an awsome instrument and we urge you to check out this link matrixsynth.blogspot.com/2008/04/kawai-r100.html

You'll find an MP3 of it in full flow.
Included with this lot is a second chip and chip remover for switching to a different sound set.

This is a classic 29 year old drum machine and its had a fair amount of use but everything works properly and the condition is pretty good. All switches, leds and even the backlight still function. Some marking in keeping with age.
