Roland RA-90 expander with accompaniments (styles) - versatile MIDI spec - this is essentially a Roland E-70 without any keys, amplifier or speakers.  You need to send it MIDI to play it and you need an amplifier so you can hear it.  Price when new about £1200.  Condition - obviously well-used
All working properly £200 plus delivery

Roland EM-2000 not working - customer won't collect it - it's been here nearly two years - offers?

Akai MIDI processing unit - very useful for live or studio use with a basic controlling keyboard (or old synthesizer or home keyboard) which can only send MIDI on Channel 1.
Can also be used with anything sending MIDI on channel 1 to create splits and/or layers.
This unit converts Channel 1 data into up to 4 zones each of which can have its own channel (duplicate channels allowed), octave (+/-3), program change number (1-128), and high/low note limits - making it
ideal for creating splits and/or layers on your multi-timbral sound generator (or on several sound generators). Saves 64 such set-ups.
New, boxed but now not guaranteed in view of clear out price.  £50 plus carriage.

Pair of Class-D loudspeakers.  Passive, not active.  Rated at 500W r.m.s. each. 15" bass driver, 2" compression horn, speakon connectors, pole-mounting hole.  BOTH HORNS HAVE BLOWN when some idiot bellowed through the PA at a New Years Eve gig.  Hence really stupid clear out price.
Fantastic PA speakers for live band or disco. Excellent condition - have had very little use - been used less than a dozen times.  Have original boxes.  Fit new horns and they're fully operational again.  Don't fit new horns and they might make good bass cabs.  Reason for sale - have another PA system and don't need these now.  Price £150 the pair.  Collect only

Yamaha F-310 steel strung acoustic - pretty good condition. £50 collect only

Payment by cash or BACS only.  Post UK mainland only.  Large, heavy items: collect only.  E&OE

 

UNASHAMED PLUG  Most Saturday nights I'm out playing bass guitar with a function band.
I've always had a great sense of satisfaction repairing electronic musical instruments
but now I think live performance is my main reason for being!

REPAIRS MUST BE DISCUSSED VERBALLY SO DON'T TRY TO email - YOU WILL ONLY GET A REPLY ASKING YOU TO TELEPHONE ME!
Before you phone make sure you have the Make, model and a description of the fault or faults. If you get the answerphone you must give all this information and also please say where you live. Sorry but I simply do not have time to call back for information you should have provided in the first place. Please provide daytime and evening contact numbers - preferably normal landline telephone numbers.
If no reply within a few days please ring again - if a crackly line has made it impossible to hear your number clearly I cannot get in touch.
Mobiles - I don't use a mobile here due to poor signal so there's no point in having one of the mobile deals with hundreds of "free minutes".
If you only leave a mobile number I'll either send a text from the computer or ring you briefly to ask you to call me back.
