Roland MKS-30 Planet-S 80's Polyphonic Synthesiser 2U Rack Mount 240V *Serviced*
The MKS-30 is often refered to as a MIDI rack mount version of the JX3P. Interestingly, the circuits are a bit different, and unlike the JX3P, the MKS-30 uses the same "Voice Chips" as the Juno-106!
The MKS-30 is a 2U rack mount, analogue synthesiser with two DCO's per voice, six voice polyphony, it responds to velocity, and has 64 internal memory patches. The typical assortment of analogue filter, envelope, LFO and oscillator sections are here with easy and straight-forward programming. It can be controlled by the PG-200 programmer (not included in sale) for easier hands-on tweaking.
