What a score for that price in that condition. You'd have been crazy not to cop it!

Welp..

The Roland Boss certified repair shop never got back to me.
I cracked open the little guy and all the connections on the bottom look good. This leads me to the conclusion that something inside the RCA shell has broken and I'd have to unsolder the whole thing just to get it off the board and open it up... I am not feeling that spry.

The up-side to this is that I didn't accidentally break anything more and I can still daisy-chain it to my 404SX with the mic and phone ports.

Looks like someone went super retarded on the ribbon cables with some wood glue or something. Just gonna have to keep hoping it lives on and make as much use of it as possible before it fries or something. Even with my 202 and 404SX I don't think I could live without it... it's hard to explain its sound but it's just different from the full 202 sludge, I've only experimented with a few things but certain things on the box just sound fucking crazy [and I don't even mean the Vinyl Sim I still haven't really gotten something I like out of it yet]

Just picked up a Fostex x-18 4 track for $43 w/ shipping.

Can't wait to get my hands dirty.

Making a track now where I spit the lyrics (using headphones as a mic mind you) first and then building the drums around the rhymes.

Freestyle. Off the cuff stuff.

Yeah, it does handle samples kinda strange compared to devices that are primarily samplers (like ASR-X) but so far, I'm enjoying how tunes are put together on this thing. If nothing else, it makes a great control center for other gear.

RS7000! Rare gear, HS, good score! Only time I've seen one was supporting Spoonbill back in '09- he had Ableton clip launching sequences in RS (no sound out of the laptop). Pretty sure he said he gigs it that way so he couldn't stuff up the sequencer when changing all his parameters mid song (that man loves to glitch).

Sorry missed your question .

Yeah the 202 is gnarley, not worth more then 80 buckz cause you can just download the packs from the net. However, you wont get the cool effects such as flanger, reverb and delay. Also the roll function is fricken cool, there is tons of presets for roll that do all sorts of things for fills and space noises, one cool trick I learned with the flanger is turn it 5 o'clock. Ok now sample it into the sp505 or sp606. Tap the drum sound , then chop it up, this will give you an awesome assortment of cool flanged drums to sequence , it is like trip hop or something. The basses and you can turn them into bleeps and beeps if you pitch up the octaves. Some of the drum n bass patterns are good if you need to make something on the fly. I plugged the DR202 in the Monotron delay. It was a neat combo with those preset patterns. I stopped the sequencer then did a drum roll with for a fill, for a variation sequence I did a slide on the monotron for the fill, anyway it is a little bit dated and might disapoint you if you are used to modern drum machines,I made a song Sampled seqeuncer into the 404 with distortion and DJ fx Looper. Then I played some 303 style synth lines over it with dr 202 filter hand modulations and distortion. Waaay awesome dude. I got mine for 80 bucks and some of the pads were bunk, so I fixed them with some aluminum tape. PS this will fix all SP bad pads.

Have a good day.

NICE!! I almost picked up a Numark PT01 at Guitar Center during black Friday. They had them on sale for $49 :)
All my friends have small portable turntables and I'm always jealous how they don't have to lug 25pounds each time they wanna sample in a different room. Kitchen beats are always best since you're closest to beer and food!
