Roland MKS-20 MIDI digital piano. Rack module version of RD-. (MKS20) analogue FX Gospel, Elton.
Rare and highly sought-after rack version of the RD- made famous by Elton John. The MKS20 uses SAS (Structured Adaptive Synthesis) to create its 8 different tone colours. When you play harder the tone doesn't just get louder it changes in timbre too which makes for a superbly expressive instrument. MKS20's are especially sought-after for the electric piano sounds and are often owned by Gospel players. I too like the electric piano but i also love the shimmering Vibraphone and funky Clavi. The tones available are: Piano (3 types), Harpsichord, Clavi, Vibraphone, and Electric Piano (2 types). The sounds can be radically modified using the built-in stunningly-lush sounding analogue chorus and tremolo and the 3 band parametric equaliser with sweepable mid frequency and Q-value. These edits can be stored in 56 memory locations for instant recall. Stereo output is on both 1/4" jacks (with 3-position level switch), and XLR 'Cannon' connectors (Balanced, 600 ohms). This example is in perfect working order and it has just been professsionally serviced by James Walker of Synth Repair Services so you can be confident that everything works correctly, safely and smoothly. The service included having a brand new LCD backlight fitted and new smoothing capacitors on the power supply. Also the unit was tested for electrical safety. Cosmetically, the face of the MKS is in excellent condition. There are some scuffs on the top panel and there are no rack ears. Overall then a sought-after superb sounding and expressive instrument which has just been serviced and is ready for action. There is no user manual but the MKS is refreshingly easy to use so you really won't need one. A quote found on the 'net: "Smooth, Rich & Expensive sounding, sheer in-your-face presence" Please note that the MKS20 is currently in Stoke-On-Trent where it has just been serviced so it will need to be collected from there at a mutually agreed time with James. Alternatively shipping can be arranged for an additional £15 (professionally packed by James and sent via UPS). Priced comptitively to sell so no offers thank you.
