Up for sale is a professional-grade Roland R-8 Human Rhythm Composer, widely considered one of the finest drum machines ever built. This is not just a standalone unit, but a complete, collector-quality bundle that is ready for immediate studio use.

The "High-Value" Bundle Includes:

SN-R8-04 Electronic Card (FREE BONUS): I am now including this highly sought-after PCM card for free. It features the essential sounds of the legendary TR-808 and TR-909—the foundation of modern electronic music.

Original Roland AC Adapter: This includes the heavy-duty, original OEM power supply. These are often missing and are expensive to replace, but this one is part of the original kit.

The Original Factory Manual: A Note on the Manual: While the R-8 machine is in excellent condition, the included original manual shows more significant wear from years of studio reference. The front cover is frayed in the lower right corner, and the back cover is missing. However, the internal instructional pages are intact and fully legible for learning the machine’s deep programming.

Condition & Functional Highlights:

Venerable Physical Condition: This piece of gear shows only very minor, mild signs of use consistent with its age. It has been meticulously maintained in a smoke-free environment and remains in beautiful aesthetic condition.

Fully Tested: All 16 velocity-sensitive pads are responsive and trigger perfectly.

Screen & Audio: The LCD display is sharp, clear, and fully legible. All outputs (Main L/R and Headphones) provide clean, punchy audio.

Shipping & Security

FREE SHIPPING: I am offering free insured shipping on this bundle.

Professional Packing: As a professional musician and media producer, I understand how to ship vintage gear. Will be packed with professional care and shipped fully insured to ensure it arrives exactly as described.

Local Pickup: Available for buyers in the New Brunswick, NJ area.
