“Unit has boot issue when power on. “Write” key must be pressed when powering on and the unit will function normally. I cannot find a factory reset for this unit and don’t know if there is one. It is in great cosmetic shape and sounds awesome. The level on the output seems kind of low but I compensate for it through my mixer. Please understand and know what you are buying. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay
“This mks70 is 100% functional and comes fully midi capable with Vecoven 3.14 EPROMs on the main board and both voice boards. It truly sounds beautiful. Minor cosmetic flaws like rackrash and scratches but it’s from 1986. I will also be including the original 3 chips it came with as well as Roland’s last chip update for the main board. The Vecoven chips really make this unit a joy to work with and brings its big sound into the current DAW workflow” Click here to visit listing on eBay
“This is the last of Roland’s fully analogue synths. Very fat sound, wide palette of sounds can be created, it has the power of two JX-8P at your finger tips. Also, the MKS-70 has a unique “chase-play” function which allows programmable delayed repeats of voices from either of its tone modules. See my other auction for the optional PG-800 programmer. The MKS-70 has a fairly complete MIDI implementation allowing you to save an load patches from your computer, this is not the case with the Super JX. Nice unit and fully functional.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
“Hello all! Thank you for viewing this listing! I am selling this beast of a synth with the super rare pg-800 controller. Includes pg-800 cable, carry case and sound cartridge. The synth is in excellent condition and works great. It has the typical rack mounting scratches and scuffs. It can create some absolutely MASSIVE sounds. I truly hate to see it go, I’ve used it on several tracks of mine so it will be missed. The Pg-800 is in good working order, all knobs, switches and faders work as they should. The Pg-800 has a cosmetic blemish on the upper right side where there used to be a sticker. I foolishly tried to remove it and was left with a faded discolored spot in the finish. Otherwise its in good cosmetic condition. Buyer responsible for shipping costs. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Perfect working condition and good cosmetic condition . Comes with power cord, rack mounts, and screws for rack mounts.
Tested every function on this unit and everything works perfectly. Cosmetic condition is excellent for a synth this age, see photos for details. Only noticeable scrapes are a bit of rack rash on the bottom.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
” This is a Roland MKS-70 analog synth in overall very good shape. However, there is an issue that is possibly a power supply issue or some sort of electrical short.
When powered on, the unit sounds and functions exactly as it should: full, lush, warm and beautiful. However, occasionally the unit likes to turn off on its own. Sometimes it turns off if you move it or bump into it gently, but this doesn’t happen every time it is moved or bumped. Sometimes it powers off for seemingly no reason. Sometimes after powering off it doesn’t want to start back up for a little bit.
Despite this powering off issue, once it is on and not being bumped into it is typically stable. It’s been on for about an hour now in my studio, sounding as amazing as ever!
The unit is in great cosmetic shape, but is missing the plastic power button cover. I don’t have the rack ears.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

I am selling one of my two Roland MKS-70s. This is a great machine. All 30 year old tact switches were replaced a couple of weeks ago. I have some extra tact switches that I will throw in the box for the winner of this auction.
This synth has the Vecoven’s 3.03 firmware installed. You can read more about it online.
There is an modification coming up for this synth that will add PWM to it among new parameters and functions. You can find more about it online.
Includes power cord.
Thanks for looking.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Awesome combo – Vintage Analog Roland MKS70 + PG800 + programmer cable and power cable!
NEEDS A LITTLE WORK (do not bid without reading and understanding the issues below):
PG800 – works perfectly except the “write button” does not function. Button is not necessary because once you program a sound on the PG800 and want to save it, you just use the write button on the MKS70 instead. Perhaps your keyboard tech can fix it or replace with a functioning button.
MKS70 – could use a cleaning (clean buttons/contacts). It works fine except some of the front keys double trigger when you press them or you have to press them firmly. I imagine this is a matter of cleaning the contacts or opening it and blowing some compressed air back there, but I’m not a technician. There are some marks on the synth, and rack ears show some bumps/bruises!
Get this setup for a great price. A great addition to your studio – they sound great!” Click here to visit listing on eBay
