Roland CR-5000 CompuRhythm analogue drum machine from 1982. Very similar to the 8000 but without programmability. Preset rhythms can be combined to create more complex patterns. Features various fills & intro patterns and also sounds can be added via the rhythm arranger.

Very nice condition apart from a small hairline crack to the front casing edge which has been repaired at some point in it’s life. The rest of the machine is excellent, no discolouration or other marks to the plastic and all controls, switches and pots are smooth and working like new.

System J Din Sync Interface installed - makes the CR-5000 a far more useful machine and provides sync in and out.

This is a 117v U.S model and will require a step down transformer for use in the U.K and Europe. I can provide one for U.K buyers. Contact me if you require any further details.

*SOLD* - another will be available soon.

Free shipping for U.K only. Rest of world shipping via UPS Express 2-3 days from £22.95. Economy shipping available on request.

Korg SR-120 Mini Pops - analogue drum machine from around '76-'79. The SR-120 was the last in Korg's Mini Pops series of rhythm machines and was produced in two versions - a wooden case in the CR-78 style and this portable suitcase version. It is probably the most flexible in terms of features. It's a preset machine but all rhythms have variations and can be combined to create some interesting patterns. Variations and fill-ins can be selected manually or automatically and there is also a quirky fade in/out feature that is very 1970s! The drum sounds are full of character and it makes a good alternative to the Rolands of the era. It is also  a good candidate for modifications if that's your thing - individual outputs and external or MIDI triggers are possible to add.

This one is in very nice condition, it is fully serviced and working well. It comes complete with it's original case lid. UK/EU voltage 220v. Contact me if you need further info.
