I've used a Roland PK-5 a while ago and it's pretty cool. eBay USA
now has one for auction at:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7389878225&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1
If that auction doesn't work for you and you don't mind the shipping
from the US and the customs, I've got one gathering dust in my
studio. I'm not sure I want to part with it yet, but it occurred to
me the other day that I hardly ever use it and I just bought a Roland
VG-8 that I'm expecting momentarily. But maybe I should just sell it
on Craigslist... I've also got an old-school bass MIDI sound module
that works wonderfully with it. Contact me off-list.
Cheers,
Kevin
