jump to expanded posti regret to inform you i have bought another old midi module but but but i'ts the prettiest one and at an extremely good price so you see. i had to
i saw one of these in a shop in berlin a few months ago and instantly knew i wanted one. it has the classic design and form-factor of the sc-55, but the power of the sc-88, and it just looks so pretty in white. but they wanted too much for it. today i finally got lucky
