[LAU] GeneralMusic RealPiano Expander, FREE

[Stephen Doonan]

I have a GeneralMusic RealPiano Expander tone generator, a one-unit high 
rack-mount half-width hardware sound source, to give away free to 
someone who may be interested.

This sound module or tone generator responds to MIDI signals and 
produces a variety of sounds (pianos, electric pianos, vibes, etc.). It 
was very well-regarded in its day (just 12-15 years ago), and 
GeneralMusic was famous for modeling sympathetic string resonance into 
their piano samples/sounds, before Roland later "invented" modeled 
string resonance for their piano sound engines in their digital pianos 
(such as the current RD-800) and rack-mounted tone generators (such as 
the Integra-7).

This GeneralMusic tone generator still works great, EXCEPT that the 
front LCD display seems to be nearly worn out and does not give a very 
good indication of changes made when front-panel buttons are pushed. I'm 
not enough of an electronic tinkerer to fix or replace the LCD screen, 
so this tone module might better be given to someone who is more 
proficient at taking electronic devices apart and working a little on them.

It's free to whomever might like it, although if the shipping expenses 
are high I might ask the recipient to help pay for the shipping. It's a 
small unit though and shouldn't cost too much to ship within the United 
States, and perhaps not too much to ship to Europe or elsewhere with 
help from the recipient.

If you are interested in this very nice, somewhat older MIDI tone 
generator / sound-module, let me know at my email address, 
stephen.doonan at gmail.com

I may not choose the first person to express an interest in the device; 
instead, I will consider several factors before making a decision as to 
whom to give it to. I love the sounds it produces, but as I mentioned it 
needs a little work (unless someone wants to use it "blind," without 
having much feedback from the LCD screen (the manual will be included)) 
and have plenty of other sound sources to work with now.

Best wishes,
Steve
