old equipment question!

[dj_jam]

hello all, how the hell are you!?

i recently gained a Roland Tr707 Rhythm Composer. i really dont know where to start with this.
ive used KORG EA's and ER's and they seem a little more simple than this old device. it seems a waste to leave it lying around, it cant have had much use, it still has original Roland batteries in it, although it works through mains too.

anyone offering any advice, it would be much appreciated.

edit : i also have a Aphex systems studio clock...wat the hell is it used for?!

Have a word with yourself outside!

Keep it, it's a piece of house music history, not as good as the TR-909 (the king of dance drum machines which the bass drum became THE house standard)

Fair enough if he is a collector then keep it but if he is making modern electronic music {for this generation} lol he will have no use for it will just make his music sound old and time is precious,i would rather help people with there production what to use etc that thing will just slow him down....

Now where did i put Jimmy Hendrix guitar!

Here it is in my Robin Reliant...

and how much would it sell for? think i will keep it

[blue jammer]

They sell for about £70

If you had a TR-909, you'd be minted as they sell for £900 +
