Up for sale is a Roland R-8 "Human Rhythm Composer" drum machine dating to the late 1980s/early 90s. In good condition with minimal surface-level physical wear from years of honest use, all pictured. Tested and able to get touch-sensitive drum sounds out of the pads, but we were not able to test the sequencer element. Drum pad, faders, and controls are all fully functional, except for the "+1" parameter key is stuck - however, you'll still be able to toggle thru the values with the "-1" key.

Will ship with the original power supply, and check our other listings for the original sound cards, sold separately.

Guitar Bar is a storefront in Hoboken, NJ and we actually like talking to people. Feel free to reach out with any questions or offers. Local pickup is always okay. We reserve the right to end a listing early if an item sells in-store.
