Happy 50th birthday Roland!
To celebrate this (as well as the 5000 subscribers on the channel) here is a special Gear Talk about the extremely rare CMU-810, desktop analog monophonic synthesizer, from 1983.
To help me shed some light on the history of this whole "Compu" series from Roland, I have none other than Mr ‪@AlexBallMusic‬ who kindly accepted to participate in this video.

"Sponsored" as I had the Tracker and Keystep for free.
