Roland CMU-800R 1983-1984

I am selling a pair of extremely rare Roland CMU800R units. They could be in working condition as they were previously owned by a very credible old user and I have never tested them. I am selling them as they are. One of the two is missing the screws that hold the case together. Cassettes with operating systems included (for Sharp MZ1200 computers). There is a kit available to turn this old gem into MIDI.

I will ship everywhere, but please ask for a quote before sending an offer, the shipping cost I wrote down is generic.

For those unfamiliar with the item, here's a brief description taken from vintagesynth:

"The CMU-800 is a little four-channel mixer with internal preset voices and sequencer software for an Apple II or PC. There is a ribbon cable out the back with a card attached. It features analog synthesis with fixed sounds. Four note polyphony in the chord section, monophonic bass and melody synth sections, and an analog drum section.

The Chord/Melody section has only 1 sound. The drum section is similar to the TR-606 Drumatix, and the bass section is similar to the TB-303 Bassline (some limited adjustments in sound were possible via software). It has separate melody, bass, chord, rhythm, mix outputs. There's also 8 cv/gate outs to run external analog equipment by control voltages, and there's a click in/out. On the face it has knobs for portamento, Melody sustain & decay, Bass decay, and Chord decay. It also has volume level sliders for each of the instruments and a master volume slider. The software uses a similar music programming method as the MC-8 or MC-4."
