All parameters function perfectly. Part of the legendary series of classic Roland Drum Machines, this is a legendary and absolutely awesome sounding fully analogue Drum Machine. It is the much rarer non-programmable brother of the CR-78 (which is barely programmable anyway). Great for sampling, this is the perfect way to get into the CR-78 sound very cheaply as they sound identical, or just a great addition to your vintage Drum Machine collection. The sounds are tuneable internally too. Has a trigger out for locking to other machines such as the arpeggiator on a Juno 60 etc. A simple and esoterically perfect design! It has also been fully serviced, calibrated and thoroughly checked over by John Mayor of JPM Synth Services.  So no dodgy, noisy pots or crackly sliders or anything else.  These are not cheap to service I can tell you that. Physically there are a couple of light scratches and marks to be expected with something of this age. Original 240 Volt UK machine. Manual included. Ready to go and make music with. A unique and interesting piece of Roland gear. It has a very unique and familiar sound that has been used in all forms of HipHop, R&B and electronica, whether sampled and processed or straight out of the box itself. It's used by Underworld, Fatboy Slim, BT, Gary Numan, 808 State, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Hall & Oates, Ultravox, Jimmy Edgar, Genesis and Überzone, Blondie, Brian Ferry, Men Without Hats, John Foxx, OMD, and many others.
