Roland CR-78 CompuRhythm

Iconic and legendary drum machine for sale serviced, in full working order and excellent cosmetic condition.

Demo below of previous machine we sold.

220v machine (voltage details below).

Heart Of Glass, Atomic, In The Air Tonight, Same Old Scene, Enola Gay… the distinctive sound of the CR-78 has featured on hundreds of hit records: a truly iconic beatbox that still sounds good today.

Serviced and working well. New battery fitted.

CONDITION: Excellent cosmetic condition: minor dings to the ‘wooden’ case. The face is very clean with only the most minor signs of age. See photos for more information on cosmetic condition.

No noisy sliders or pots. It is always possible with vintage equipment that crackly pots/sliders may develop over time when equipment has not been used – even during shipping – this can usually be easily rectified either by a few turns or in extreme cases, with suitable switch-cleaning spray.

•  It is 220v 
• A step-up transformer is required in the USA/Canada.

The First demo below is of previous machine with the Monacor Disk Echo. The second is a another machine we sold in the past.

Roland CR-78 and Monacor Disk Echo plating nicely together. The disk echo is great fun and has bags of character: the recording medium being a circular disk, like a large floppy disc. Both on the site now.
