Up for sale is a vintage Roland System 101 analog synthesizer.
It all works, all sliders, jacks, keys etc and sounds amazingly wicked. BUT there are a couple of sliders that have sputtered signal when moved at some point along the throw of the fader / knob… that said all sounds good without sputtered noise when set and left. This is pretty typical of a synth this age. Could use a detailed pot / slider cleaning / deoxit.
Also, while the keys trigger.. they could also benefit from a detailed contact cleaning. Again, this is a VERY common thing with roland synths of this era as we've had several SH5, SH3, SH7's etc… all had that issue. When we triggered this synth via external CV it played, responded and handled perfectly via another keyboard. BUT the keys do work.

These fetch up to $2700 but we are selling at a MUCH lower price due it needing a little TLC. Sold as is, as stated.
No returns.
There simply is no sound like this sound. The newer Roland 500 series modular sounds toy-ish compared to it. Its a simple, basic synth but one that has big, bold, raw tone. The filter is SUPREME!
I pack safe and ship fast.
