Hey Guys! Here is the low down.

Dr. Sound in NYC has old Roland CV keyboards new in the original boxes. I 
was told they have all three models including the one for polyphony, but 
this remains unconfirmed. My boss at work bought a system 100M from them and 
they pulled him out the CV keyboard from a stack of plenty more of them. I 
know they don't have a web site but its worth it to try and get a hold of 
them. They have a good reputation and they can fix your broken synth if you 
can't do it :~)


Please post the information for them if you get it. Thanks guys

I believe Dr Sound's main tech has left the building. Their repair dept. is 
in a deep state of change/downsizing, etc.

Grumble. I sent a reply last night but it never went through. Oh well.
Perhaps they've changed their minds, but they were *only* selling these keyboards *with* System 100M sets. Their tongue-in-cheek pitch was "buy a keyboard for $2500 (or whatever) and get a free modular!"
I'll call them when they open today and find out the scoop/prices/etc.
David.

Oh sorry--I meant to post this too:

Dr Sound USA
212-334-5478

open 11-7 Mon-Sat

They're at 25 Mercer, just North of Canal, in Manhattan. If you're ever in
NYC, it's worth stopping by there to window shop. They carry used and new
analog gear, VAs, monitors, etc. (and guitars, but I never go back there).

RE: [motm] CV Keyboards In NYC

Hi Charles and list--I just called Danny, and I have some info:

They only have the 180 and 181. I think the 180 is just an octave shorter
than the 181, but someone else should confirm. The 180 is $200, the 181 is
$300.

They *do* sell them separately. Sorry for the misinformation earlier.

David.

RE: [motm] CV Keyboards In NYC

http://www.synthmuseum.com/roland/rolsys100m01.jpg

Apologies to Chris Carter for the following (from
http://www.chrisandcosey.co.uk/sitefiles/sospages/roland_100m.htm):

180 32 key controller keyboard \ufffd210

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 \ufffd275

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 \ufffd490

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.

Huh! sounds exactly like the keyboard implementation of my Jupiter 4.
I've got a feeling that many if not all of those functions are on a
separate board in my JP-4 as well, so perhaps they used the 184 design
to drive the JP-4, or vice versa.

The mod, by the way, for tapping into a JP-4 to either extract or insert
pitch CVs and Gates appears to be ridiculously simple. I think I posted
a link to the page before--

http://www.synthservices.com/jp4.html

No, I've not done that to my JP-4, as I was happily able to scarf up an
MPU-101 recently. Now all I need is that -440 filter and second -300
osc. Er, and many other things too....
