A Roland CR-8000, a piano, a shit-tonne of echo, and Phil Collins circa 1980. Sounds incredibly modern. Click here or watch below. I had a CR-8000 alongside my TR-606 for some years; I had it midi sync’d via my MSQ-700. I still have the MSQ and the TR, but the CR-8000 was transmuted into ‘RENT’ sometime around 2001. Miss it. I paid $25 for it at ALTEL on Main Street in Bridgeport; they are tough to find for under $500 these days.
