🙋🏻‍♂️ Welcome and Foreword

Hello and welcome to my Reverb Shop!

Thank you for your interest in this listing. Every instrument I offer comes from my private collection and is treated with great care and respect. Each instrument is thoroughly checked and tested to ensure full functionality and excellent condition. Before any instrument is listed for sale, it goes through a professional multi-stage inspection by our technician. Only after successfully passing all functional and visual checks is it approved for listing.

I am aware that my prices may be above average, but this reflects my commitment to transparency, careful preparation, and customer satisfaction. Packaging alone takes 2–4 hours, with multiple layers of protection to ensure safe and worry-free transport. Quality — both of the instruments and my work — is my top priority. I am always available to answer questions and ensure a smooth buying experience.

Enjoy reading the description.

🎹 Information about the Item for Sale

I am offering an absolute monster of professional arranger history: the Roland EM-2000. Released in the late 1990s as Roland’s premium, top-tier flagship Creative Keyboard, this heavy-duty hardware titan was engineered to completely blur the line between a high-end live performance arranger and a deep, fully programmable digital synthesizer workstation.

The EM-2000 is powered by a highly acclaimed sound engine derived directly from Roland’s legendary professional modules (like the SC-880/JV series), delivering an incredibly fat, organic, and punchy sonic signature:

• Massive Pro-Grade Sound Library: Loaded with over 1,100 stunning factory patches, including rich acoustic grand pianos, highly expressive acoustic brass, warm analog synth pads, and heavy vintage dance leads.
• Integrated Iomega Zip Drive & Floppy Drive: A massive workflow advantage for its era! The built-in Zip 100 drive allows you to store, manage, and instantly load thousands of complex styles, user settings, and Standard MIDI Files (SMF) with professional reliability.
• Intuitive Tactile Interface: Equipped with an extensive array of front-panel sliders, alpha dials, and a dedicated alphanumeric display, giving you lightning-fast, hardware-level control over your mix, real-time accompaniment parts, and structural editing.
• Expressive Ribbon Controller & D-Beam: Includes a highly responsive performance controller setup alongside Roland's iconic D-Beam, allowing for spectacular, hands-free air modulation and dramatic filter sweeps during live performance.

Technically, this Roland EM-2000 is in excellent operational condition. A known issue with complex late-90s workstations is the degradation of the disk drive paths or internal button contact responsiveness. This unit has been meticulously serviced and completely verified by our technician. The Zip drive reads/writes flawlessly, the internal backup battery is strong, and every single key contact, tracking fader, and performance slider triggers beautifully. Optically, the keyboard is gorgeous and very well-preserved, showcasing only normal, light signs of use from careful studio handling over the years, maintaining a dominant and clean studio presence.

Please note: This listing includes the Roland EM-2000 and the power cable.
