Vintage Polyphonic Analogue synthesizer module Roland EM-101 in Springfield, Manitoba for sale

This vintage analogue synth module offers a good selection of the classic 80's keyboards sounds in a small and affordable box. Most presets sound very similar to the Roland Juno 106, others remind the Korg Poly800.
24 preset programs are grouped in 3 banks, 2 visible and one hidden. Following the 80's trend, these programs are labeled with classical names (strings, brass, cello, flute), although in today's terms these are pure synth leads, pads, pianos and basses and don't resemble any acoustic instruments.
The synth engine offers two oscillator modes: 8-voice polyphonic and unison monophonic; a rich, fat analogue filter and a classic Roland/Boss stereo chorus, similar to the JX-8p.
The presets are:
Poly (ensemble): Strings 1 and 2, Organs 1, 2 and 3, Brass 1 and 2, Polysynth;
Mono (solo): Bass 1 and 2, Cello, Clarinet, Flute, Violin, Monosynth 1 and 2;
Hidden Bank: 8 unnamed programs that could be described as analogue piano, rhodes, bells, harpsichord and clavinet.
The first 2 banks can be accessed from the front panel or using Program Change MIDI messages, the third bank can be reached if you press "brilliance" button on power-up.
