All, I have two items I'd like to pass along: an honest-to-god new-old Korg Wavestation EX, and a mint/excellent condition Roland MC-303, both with original boxes, cables, and manuals. For details and pics, please see: http://www.zentripetal.com/synths/ws_index.html (Wavestation) http://www.zentripetal.com/synths/mc303_index.html (MC-303) If that's too much text, here are the short versions:---------------- - Wavestation EX - I just purchased this Wavestation EX *new in box* from the famous House of Guitars last month. The unit appeared triple-boxed, with all original packing materials and accessories. It needed the "sticky keys" repair and a new battery out of the box, which it received the day I got it. The unit has technically been touched by a human being now, but is otherwise completely mint, as are the accessories. I assume you know the legacy of this synth, but if not, or if you want technical specs, check the reviews at Harmony Central or Sonicstate's Synthsite (all links at bottom of post). I am asking $430 for this unit, or $500 total if purchased together with the MC-303 (s/h from Willow Grove, PA (19090) will be added in either case). - Roland MC-303 - The extremely portable X0X rhythm and bass programmer from Roland's "Groovesynth" line. Tacky marketing aside, this is an outstanding unit for sophisticated rhythm programming, has excellent MIDI functionality, and works very well either with its own respectable internal synth engine or as a controller for other units. For technical details and reviews, please check the links at the end of the post for the Harmony Central and Sonicstate's Synthsite reviews of this machine. Again, this unit is in really exceptional/flawless condition, and comes in the original box, with the original manual and power supply. The slipcover for the manual has been lost, but as you can see from the photos on http://www.zentripetal.com/synths/mc303_index.html, it has been taken care of quite well. I will find a suitable cover for it and the PS for shipping, and it will be double-boxed or wrapped to preserve the integrity of the original box. I am asking $175, or $500 total if purchased together with the Korg Wavestation EX (s/h from Willow Grove, PA (19090) will be added in either case). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Allow me to stress that both units are in flawless cosmetic and operating condition. The Wavestation may be of particular interest to anybody seeking this instrument because it is literally in *flawless/new* condition. Better than new, in fact, given that "new" meant that it needed a keyboard action fix. As it stands, those keys should be in perfect order for years, and the internal battery is completely new as well. You absolutely cannot expect to find a 13-year-old synth that is historically quite fragile in this condition, especially with the manuals and pack-in card and such. Here are some links for general information about both synths: Wavestation EX http://www.sonicstate.com/synth/korg_wavestationex.cfm http://www.harmony-central.com/Synth/Data/Korg/Wavestation-EX-01.html http://www.danphillips.com/wavestation/ MC-303 http://www.sonicstate.com/synth/rolandmc303.cfm http://www.harmony-central.com/Synth/Data/Roland/MC-303-Groovebox-01.html In my opinion, both synths are outstanding units, and although I didn't plan to lose both (or either one, for that matter), they do compliment each other very well, especially for sophisticated ambient electronica or atmospheric synthpop.
