Roland WS-1 Write Switch
ultra-rare accessory for programming
the Roland CR-78.
You are bidding on a Roland WS-1 Write Switch, an ultra-rare accessory for the CR-78 vintage analog drum machine, which allows you to step-write your own patterns.
As you can see from the photos, it is in very good cosmetic condition: clean appearance, and all buttons, knob, cables and switch are present and in tact.
Functionally, it works 100%. I had previously listed this unit about a year ago, and at the time it wasn’t working properly, but has since been serviced and is now working, as seen in this YouTube video, which is of the actual WS-1 on auction here.
I have a PDF of the owner’s manual as well as very rudimentary schematic for it, which I can either email to you, or print and send to the winning bidder.
Regarding the photos – the WS-1 is pictured with a Roland CR-78. Please note that the CR-78 is not included with this auction.” Auction ended. Click here to browse on eBay.
“This has not really been used in years, still has the roland 117v sticker on the cord, It works pretty good, the volume slide had some static but it seems to have worked itself out, a couple of push buttons are a little sticky but again look to be working itself out, I did not do anything to it, so it should be cleaned and etc, the sounds coming out are pretty clean, I really do not know much about this unit just trying to provide as much info and pictures as possible, believe the foot switch is original, it does say roland on it and is a 1/4 inch jack”

Functionally, it works, but there is a problem: the rest button is problematic. It only works intermittently, approx 1 out of every 10 times that you hit it. I would imagine that this is probably due to something minor like a loose solder connection, but I can’t say for sure what it is. I did open the WS-1 to see if I could see anything obvious like that, and nothing stood out, but please note that I am not a techy person at all! I do have a PDF of the owner’s manual as well as very rudimentary schematic for it, which I can either email to you, or print and send to the winning bidder.
