The MSQ-700 Digital Keyboard Recorder was released in 1984. It was an 8 track sequencer that could record to memory as well as a tape I/O interface and transport controls to load and save performance data. It was one of the first Roland products to feature MIDI and has case styling similar to the TR-909 which was released the prior year. The device also supported Roland’s proprietary data exchange format Digital Control Bus (DCB), which at the time was in the process of being phased out in favor of the more flexible and open MIDI standard.
