http://www.synthmuseum.com/roland/rolsys100m01.jpgApologies to Chris Carter for the following (from
http://www.chrisandcosey.co.uk/sitefiles/sospages/roland_100m.htm):
180 32 key controller keyboard £210
This is the most basic System 100M keyboard with only a tuning knob, a
portamento knob and a three position transpose switch. There are three
outputs CV, gate and trigger. These are available as mini or standard size
jack sockets. Finally there is a 6 pin DIN socket for directly connecting to
the keyboard to the 100M rack.
181 49 key controller keyboard £275
Apart from an extra 17 keys and some additional features this model has the
same clunky keyboard action as it's smaller brother. Also included are a
centre sprung bender control, bender output jack sockets and a portamento
on/off switch.
184 4 note polyphonic keyboard £490
This is the largest and most specified of the 100M keyboards. Although there
are the same number of keys as the 181 the action is definitely an
improvement on the other models. It has all the features of the 181 keyboard
except for the 6 pin DIN socket and it does have a number of useful
additions. There is an arpeggiator with a rate control and four push buttons
for selecting Up, Down, Up&Down or Random modes. Plus an arpeggiator clock
input on the rear for connecting to a drum machine or sequencer trigger
output. There are 4 assign mode buttons for selecting two Unison
(monophonic) modes and two Poly (4 voice) modes of playing. Next to these
buttons is a hold (sustain) switch. The bender also has a pitch bend
sensitivity knob, which should be at 0 when playing the keyboard. The
transpose switch only has two positions on this model, normal and 1 octave
down. Along the rear of the keyboard are 4 CV and 5 gate outputs. The fifth
gate socket is a combined output of gates 1-4. and all the outputs are
available as mini and standard jack sockets.
