Roland R8m rack percussion module + Waverex R8 card.

Basically you don't need original sound cards, because you can load any of them from binary format into Waverex card.


I listed item condition as "poor", because card slot 1 is not always working properly, it randomly displays for a second CHECKING CARD and at the same time midi messages are ignored when that message is displayed. Slot 2 and slot 3 work.

117VAC version .

Feel free to ask any questions.


Shipping costs to EU are already included in the price.
