Roland CR-8000

via Portland, OR Craigslist [$400]

sweet analog goodness- super clean The perfect companion for you ancient Roland CompuRhythm synths ( Jupiter 4/6/8 or Promars, etc)- way less expensive than a cr-78, and a bit warmer sounding to my ears.

Works great- a couple of buttons need love, but they always do :) This machine is the sound of early minimal electronic music- it has 30 cheesy beats, intro/fill-in, shuffle- you can add/subtract claps/hats/cymbal/toms individually, plus there is din/sync so it can talk to your system through midi/sync converters,etc- Play it in time with ableton or whatever - sync is rock-solid. PLUS you can make your own beats.....the groove is insatiable- 400 firm.
