Is the keyboard retro?

Nope, the retro item is musical.

Hmm... The picture is too small for my old eyes to pick out any detail, but it looks like, at a guess, a Yamaha XG-xx synth module on top of possibly an old late 70's graphic equalizer...?

That's what I said... the keyboard... not computer keyboard. :-)

@mrbombermillzy was close. The unit on top in the rack is a Roland Sound Canvas SC-88

Though it was a Sound Canvas...couldn't tell which one from the picture though. I've got an SC55 as well as an SC88 VL (the latter came with a Roland MIDI keyboard & the virtual Sound Canvas s/w to IIRC)
:thumbup:

That one is actually the VL version as well @JezC.

@mrbombermillzy, not a graphics equaliser but a Mic / Instrument pre-amp MIDI box. It's a Focusrite Scarlett 18i20.

Well I was pretty far off that one. :lol:

It looks like a very nice unit though, once I looked it up.

I hope that laptops DACs are going to do it justice (unless its using a digital out of course).

Mine's still packed away in its original box ATM... making do with the SC55, MU50, FB01 expanders plus DX7s, M1, 01R/W keyboards for now :D

Shame on you both @PhilC and @rubber_jonnie. Between the two of you I have ended up with a Z88 from @PhilC. @rubber_jonnie, your compulsion and threads of your latest purchases sparked all this.
