Jimbo,
MKS was the Roland prefix for all of their rack units in the 80s. There were about 8 or so iterations – all mostly digitally controlled analog and racks of their keyboards. Except the one that was a multi timbral unit (MKS-7). I have an MKS-50, a rack Alpha Juno… highly recommended. The MKS-80 the others referred to was the flagship and pulls down HUGE money due mostly to its reputation.
Here’s a lovely and descriptive site:

I've been using some of the list's store of presets--I think the English patches--and found a group called MKS that are very nice. What synth does that refer to?
I also tried some sounds through my old Fender tube amp and a 15 inch speaker. My wife threatened to divorce me. Marvelous wall shaking sound.
