a no-frills but very well-sampled keyboard from a good manufacturer. essentially the boss (roland) doctor synth module (which sell for Ј50+) .... with a keyboard and amplifier and speakers built round it. dont think it got the recognition that it should have!im selling it as i have bought a digital piano which wires straight into my compo and does everything the roland can - so its surplus to requirements.gm gs standards16 parts28 voices226 tonesoriginally manufactured in 1994. this one was bought in 1996-7 for Ј499. used at home, not gigged, small bash to one corner - otherwise in vgc.i will supply a midi to usb gizmo with it so that you can plug it into a computer but you will need to work out your own patches. ive been using a mac and it wires straight in.it sounds great through an amp. amp; one interesting all-in-one solution is the roland sk50, which is a multitimbral keyboard based on rolands sound canvas technology. this unit incorporates a 5-octave (61-key) velocity-sensitive keyboard, a 16-part multitimbral gs/gm wavetable-based synthesizer, and a built-in stereo amplifier and speakers. what makes it especially suitable for use with the pc is its built-in serial port interface, which allows you to dispense with the traditional midi interface. an added bonus is the external audio input - so if you do have a decent soundcard, you can hear that as well. at around Ј570, it is more expensive than a simple keyboard, but it does have the advantage of being independent of the pc, so you dont have to boot up the computer to tinkle the old ivories. amp; sound on sound reply to this ad get email alerts for ads like this Dave on 07726 766766
