tauzero Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) Time to clear out one or two items that never get used... Roland MV-30 MIDI sequencer, file player, and sound module. [attachment=42160:S6001889cropped.jpg] With this, you can record, edit, and play standard MIDI files. It can also be used as a sound module - it's a Roland D-70 without a keyboard. I haven't used it for recording or editing MIDI files (nowadays, with software MIDI editors all over the place, using a hardware sequencer for file editing takes a special kind of masochism). I have used it for playback though, which it did a pretty good job of. Everything on it works as far as I know. There's a page about it here: [url="http://homepage.mac.com/synth_seal/html/mv30.html"]http://homepage.mac.com/synth_seal/html/mv30.html[/url] and if you go to Yahoo! Groups ( [url="http://groups.yahoo.com"]http://groups.yahoo.com[/url] ), you will find a group called mv-30studiom which has some useful information. Reviews can be found at [url="http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Keyboard+And+MIDI/product/Roland/MV-30/10/1"]http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews...land/MV-30/10/1[/url] [url="http://www.sonicstate.com/synth_reviews/roland_mv30.cfm"]http://www.sonicstate.com/synth_reviews/roland_mv30.cfm[/url] Note: it uses DD floppies - these can still be obtained. You can format HD discs as DD, but I prefer to use DDs. I'll put half a dozen DD discs in with it, including several copies of the system disc (the MV-30 doesn't contain its operating system in ROM, it reads it off floppy, just like the early days of PCs...). I'll also include a CD with the user manual and other handy information on it. Looking for £90 plus postage.

Yeah, I found that usergroup shortly after finding your post. Still awaiting a response from them, however. Just out of curiosity (in order to develop of better price-point with another seller), how much did you get for it on Ebay? Were any of the buttons "loose?" How 'bout the screen - was the backlight still bright? Any dings or scratches? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
