You're bidding on a used D-550. If you're a collector of vintage equipment, you probably know a ton about this unit to begin with. For those who don't, see the information below. The unit works properly (midi function etc.) I'm including the owner's manual and power cord. The backlight does not work on this unit. It may need an new inverter and/or a new LCD lit display. There are several sources on the internet (maybe even eBay) that sell these kinds of items if you wish to refurbish the light. Otherwise, compose away and enjoy! Roland D-550 information: The D-550 has sixteen note polyphony, although most patches are layers which limits polyphony to 8 voices. Two oscillators are available per voice, consisting of sampled attack transients or square or sawtooth periodic waves. The periodic waveforms' cycle can be modulated: PWM for the square wave and slope modulation for the sawtooth. Digital low pass filtering is only available for the periodic waves and resonance does not track the cutoff frequency. Seperate amplitude envelopes and modulation are available for the two oscillator sections, allowing a sampled attack transient to fade into a cylic waveform. Ring modulation between two cyclic waveforms is also supported. Three envelopes are available but are hardwired to PWM, amplitude, and filter cut-off, however the 3 LFOs have a multitude of destinations. Two band EQ, with variable frequency and Q for the highs, and chorus/flanger are available for each voice. Reverb and delay are global and while I'm sure they were par for the late '80s, they now pale in comparison to today's inexpensive outboard. The D-550 is often written off as sounding dated, although this is due more to the generic patches than its true capability. I've been able to achieve some truely astounding patches, some which cannot be duplicated on my newer synthesizers or samplers. If you like digital grunge, looped waveforms, shimmering highs, and dare to be different, look into a Roland D-550. I ship to the basic "Lower 48" in the US. Contact me if you're bidding in Canada and I'll research the shipping cost. ***If I'm shipping the US - any additional shipping costs I'll pay out-of-pocket.***
