System 100m

“Roland System 100m Vintage Analogue Modular Synthesiser.Kenton Pro 2 MIDI to CV converter. Condition is used.

From 1979, this is a beast of a synthesiser. I’mselling it because I’m no longer in an electropop band so don’t use itanymore.

All tested and works as expected.

I mostly used it for phat bass with the two oscillatorsand two filters. It’s great having two filters because onefilter could be used to add sub bass with low cutoff and high Q, then theother filter could be used for squelch. The ring modulator is goodfor crazy vocal effects – obviously being modular, any sound can be input.

Module 112: Two VCOs with oscillator sync

Module 121: Two VCFs. Phat sounding low passfilters.

Module 130: Two VCAs.

Module 140: Two ENVs and an LFO.

Module 150: Ring modulator. White noisegenerator. Pink noise generator. Sample and hold.

All in the standard housing providing power to the modulesand also a patch bay at the bottom with parallels.

The synth is all MIDI controllable through the KentonPro 2 that has multiple aux outputs to control most synth parameters, e.g.cutoff. It can be made velocity sensitive using the auxes too.

As you can see from the picture, a MIDI lead andsome patch leads are included.”

” This very rare 184 keyboard has been in storage for the past 15 years and before that was lightly used. It’s in the same near-mint condition that it was when I bought it on ebay 20 years ago. The only cosmetic issue that I can find is a small ding on the edge to the right of the pitch wheel, just to the left of the first key (enlarge the first photo to see it). Other than that, it looks new. I don’t have the manual but it’s available online.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“The modules form what is called the ‘D-set’ (112-121-130-140-150). The instrument has received a thorough refurbishment and calibration as per service manual (always a time consuming task with early Rolands). Brand new 230V PSU fitted.

The set comes with the polyphonic 184 controller keyboard, full set of power cables and basic set of patch cords.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Roland Studio System 100M modular synthesiser comprising two full 191J cabinets plus 181 CV Keyboard in good condition.

With six VCOs and three LFOs, this system makes a very powerful two voice system for example. Having four VCAs allows for VC controlled modulation rather than just audio duties. This system sounds truely massive with just two or three VCOs running, let alone six! The module compliment included gives greater variation than the standard set, not being two duplicate racks. Can demonstrate in the studio if required.

All power supplies are UK 240V though one rack was originally a 100V Japanese unit, it hase been professionally installed with a new internal UK transformer.

Included is a Kenton Pro 2 Dual channel MIDI to CV converter to allow easy integration with modern technology.

Also included (not currently fitted) are two pairs of beautiful hardwood endcheeks from Lamond Design, the ultimate synth cabinet maker! These can be used to replace the standard foiled board ends that Roland used and are drilled ready for fitting.

The system contains:

3 x M112 Dual VCO (Six VCOs in total)

1 x M121 Dual VCF

2 x M130 Dual VCA

1 x M132 Dual CV/Audio mixer & voltage processor

2 x M140 Dual ADSR with LFO

1 x M150 Ring modulator, noise, sample & hold & LFO

2 x 191J 5 slot powered cabinet

“I purchased this from an auction in Japan. At the time I was also bidding on a System 100m kit, and the keyboard was sold separately. I ended up winning only the keyboard, and have kept it for almost a year. Now it is time to let go.

I have no other CV synth to connect this to, so I can’t test its functionality. However, the original seller used it with his System 100m and said everything was working fine.
Other than cosmetic wear, I cannot see signs to suggest that there are problems.
There is some oxidation to the connectors at the back panel, and may require cleaning.
This looks to be a nice unit for its age.
All keys are level and responsive.
Please look at the pictures carefully and decide for yourself. This being used vintage gear, I cannot offer any warranty or returns.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“A most rare bird, or board, the 184 is a 4 voice polyphonic keyboard for the Roland System 100M, but will work with any analogue system that uses the 1V/Oct standard. Built around the same keyboard logic as the Jupiter 4, the 184 controller has a fully featured arpeggiator onboard. This unit is power rated for Japan, and while it may function OK with US wall power, we recommend procuring a transformer to ensure accurate keyboard tracking and Gate levels.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Excellent working and cosmetically clean Roland System-100M Polyphonic 4 CV 184 Keyboard. Serial Plate is in Japanese. Used with my System-100M. Selling to finance other interests. I was told the previous owner probably bought it new in Japan and brought it to California where it stayed for decades in his home studio. I’ve barely used it. Pretty sure I am the second owner. Sadly no original box.

Overall this analog multi-CV controller is visibly excellent, almost like new. It’s condition is remarkable. (I’ve been a synth collector since 1984). There’s no visible mold or mildew or rust. A little legacy dust here and there from 36 years of use. Input jacks all look very clean and feel solid, I cannot make out any oxidization and I would put them at 95% clean.

Pitch bend works. Tuning knobs works. Portamento works. Transpose works. All keys work and appear very clean. Action is springy and tight. Arp and control buttons appear like new, all buttons engage and all knobs work. Both wood end panels appear very good to excellent. One small plain white sticker from previous original owner on top left wood panel, clearly visible in photos. An area with slight gum residue from probably a removed sticker (not me) is next to power button. A few rubs and marks on underside. On long surface scratch on the underside. All cosmetic issues appear in the photos.

*One issue or concern, which may be my older System-100M: slight intermittent tuning changes happen when you twist “Pitch Bend Sens” knob while playing a note. That said, after my 100M warmed up, this effect was diminished. I just leave it at 5 and there’s no issues. Again this may be a System-100M issue, not 4CV 184 issue. I’m not sure. My 100M does need a tune up, one VCO and VCF have scratchy pots.

All 4 KCV and Gate outputs work and have been tested on my System-100M, MC-202 and SH-101. Both 1/8′ and 1/4″ and one each Total CV and Total Gate outs. The 4CV will play the System-100M, an MC-202 and a SH-101 all at the same time, or individually, using both ⅛” CV and ¼” CV outs from the 184. Pretty cool!

The arpeggiator on this model is unique and odd. Everything arpeggio works and the arp will sometimes place rests in Up/Down and Random Mode – I don’t know if that is common or voltage oddities or an issue. Sure does sound cool and unpredictable.

I was able to patch the 100M’s LFO to the 184’s Arpeggio Clock In and use the LFO Freq (speed) to affect the 184’s arpeggio speed. Very cool!

*Another Issue – and I may not be using it properly, when “Unison 1 and 2” are depressed, keys play, but nothing sounds like it’s in “Unison”. *When Poly 1 Button is pressed, keys play intermittently*. When Poly 2 is pressed, all keys play.

Polyphonic: I have been able to play 4 notes through two VCOs on the 100M but the fourth note sometimes cuts out one of the others. Playing one key and holding, then playing another, then a third, does work, making a chord. Playing three notes at once on this unit sometimes plays a chord, other times not. However you can connect two to four CV outs to as many other instruments and play more than one note, sustaining one after the others, like they are all playing on the same MIDI channel. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay
