Everything is there except for the KDFX option (a kurzweil highend effects option). Other than that, it's the bomb.

that 500 looks tiny compared to the 4000... I even think the pad area of the 4000 is bigger than the entire 500...


Almost....Image

It's a classic. The Roland R8 rhythm composer. Somehow, I've never seemed to take advantage of utilizing it as a controller. Always used it playing it's internal rom or an external rom card (dry drums, electronic & dance). I have some experimenting to do. :idea:

Yeah, my friend had one way back when they were still new. That and an M1. They had a nice sound, and I remember the 808/909 rom card was popular.
