Bill is the only one who can definitively answer this.     All I 
remember is that it was much more manual and less 'presety' than later 
versions and it was
really early in the game.........not the first synth they made but 
really early............Bill?   are you there?   Help us out.

and hell...........does anyone who is doing okay financially want this 
piece of history that I'd love to sell  (the original GS500 guitar 
controller for the original
synth Roland put out)?     I'll sell it inexpensively if it is a list 
member............I was advised to ask a grand for it,  but I'll sell it 
at a fraction of that cost
if anyone here is interested.  Otherwise it's up to E-bay.
