Gently used, like mint condition Roland VS-1680 24 Bit Digital Studio Workstation. The unit has one VS8F-2 Dual Stereo Effects Expansion Board already installed. There is an additional slot for another VS8F-2. The unit has minor scratches on the corners (see picture of one of the corners) and shows minor wear on the screen. It is in wonderful condition and works great! Also comes with a Que!Drive QPS-525 CD Burner Disc Drive with all cables and Roland case (for the disc drive, not the recording unit). Included are the Owner's Manual, Quick Start Guide, Appendices and downloaded/printed User's Manual. I never got the original User's Manual so you are getting a downloaded copy that is a bit beat up (see picture)! I am selling these together as I now have a recording studio with much more expansive equipment.
