[rec.music.makers] Roland Desktop Music System for Sale

	Ok here's the deal:
		I have a PS/2 model 50 - one of those horrible MCA machines.
I desperately want a MPU-comp interface.  Now the UB micro center here is
selling a "Roland Desktop Music System" for the PS/2 line.  Included in the
deal is the new Roland MPU-IMC MIDI interface card, a Roland CM-32L sound
module, Ballade (by Dynaware), and MIDI cables.  All for $600.
	Ok, now I was wondering if someone would like to buy just the
Sound Module and Ballade to run with it.  Of course, you need a MIDI 
interface card, but for anything but MCA machines, that is no big deal
to get.  Now the CM-32L has 8 multitimbral capability + 1 rhythm track.
I assume, but I am not certain, that it has 16 voices.  It uses Roland's
L/A synthesis technique and sounds *very* good.  Ballade is a sequencer/patch
editor/lib.  I can't go into much detail but it is quite a snazzy program,
very graphic and quite easy to use.  It's not for really serious work, but
it's great for the musical hobbiest and the kids.  
	Now if someone wants all this (minus the MIDI interface) I'll
sell it for $475.  Any Takers?
