Roland remains one of the most respected names in electronic music technology. Their Sound Canvas lineup set the benchmark for General MIDI playback, making these modules popular among retro gaming enthusiasts, hardware synth collectors, and producers seeking authentic era-specific instrument sounds.
This particular unit was bought secondhand as a replacement part after the SC-88VL was discontinued, then sat unused in storage for years. Basic operation was confirmed by sending a signal into MIDI IN-A and verifying sound from the output, though full functionality has not been tested. The internal CR2032 battery needs to be replaced.
This listing is for the main unit only; no AC adapter or additional accessories are included. You will need to supply your own DC 9V 1000mA power adapter with a center-negative plug.
