Roland CSQ-600

“Roland CSQ-600 Sequencer – new battery, printed manual, free US shipping. Condition is “Used”.

OK, be honest, you thought cv/gate was mostly a real-time thing or relegated to expensive boxes like the Cirklon.
You love your SH-101 and you fondly remember all those cool sequences you used to come up with on it that are now lost forever in time.

DON’T DESPAIR!

The CSQ-600 is one of those cool Roland products they made back when they cared about music and musicians. Yes, it can record and play back cv/gate sequences. Fine.

It can also let you program in rests and glides and you have control over tempo and it syncs up your CR-78 (you do have a CR-78, don’t you? tssk, tssk if not) or some other DIN Sync box.

You also can do some cool real time switching between saved sequences. The CSQ is smart enough to switch on the loop point for seamless transitions plus there’s a metronome so you can press keys in time, and a ton more.

I’m including a printed manual so you can get all the juicy details of how to connect it and use it to the fullest. I also replaced the battery since 40 year old NiCads tend to leak and destroy circuit boards. The original battery in here started to leak, but it wasn’t bad and I cleaned up the area before installing a new battery. You might want to ask sellers of other CSQs if the battery has been replaced. You’re not saving anything if not and likely you’ll be in for an expensive corrosion-damaged repair down the road (just ask PolySix owners, knowhatImean?)”
