Sehr guter Zustand , 4 x Aira Gear nur per USB anschliessbar ( sehr cool) , steht nur rum , dafür zu schade
The MX-1 is a distinctive piece of Roland gear for a hybrid setup, but €400 is firmly above the usual used market here. Against 26 recent comparables, it sits well over the €353 75th percentile, so this is an ambitious asking price rather than a bargain.
That said, it’s a capable, well-liked desktop performance mixer with strong hands-on workflow, solid build, and real appeal if you want a central hub for hardware and live tweaking. Excellent condition helps, and if it’s complete with the PSU and any original bits, the premium is easier to justify. Still, I’d treat it as a buy only if you specifically want this format and are comfortable paying top-of-market.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Roland Corporation traces its roots to Osaka, Japan, where Ikutaro Kakehashi founded the company on April 18, 1972, after leaving his earlier venture, Ace Electronic Industries. With a modest capital of 33 million yen and a focus on accessible technology, Kakehashi—himself a non-musician—launched Roland's debut products that year: the TR-33, TR-55, and TR-77 rhythm machines. These early drum machines embodied his vision of miniaturized, affordable gear for amateurs and hobbyists, setting the stage for a legacy in electronic music innovation.
While renowned for synthesizers, drum machines like the iconic TR-808 and TR-909, and digital pianos, Roland's hi-fi offerings center on audio interfaces such as the Rubix and BRIDGE CAST series, alongside mixers and production tools optimized for instrument connectivity. The brand prioritizes reliability and integration for music creation, streaming, and live performance rather than traditional consumer hi-fi categories like amplifiers, speakers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables.
Roland commands a dominant position in the professional and prosumer electronic music market, influencing genres from techno to pop with gear trusted by amateurs and pros worldwide. It stands as a mid-to-high-tier powerhouse, far from vintage collector status, delivering battle-tested durability and cutting-edge features that prioritize functionality over boutique aesthetics.
