Packrat's Juno-106 - Part 1 Published on Mar 27, 2013

"I don't normally do repairs for others, but this is a very special case: In this playlist I service and recondition the actual Juno-106 that was the inspiration for one of my fave Packrat comic strips by the infamous artist David C. Lovelace of UMOP dot COM fame.

Don't worry. This is the only time on the Syntegrator channel that I will read a comic out loud to you complete with character voices. That said, it's nice to know those two years I spent at acting school in my youth finally came in handy for something... ;-)"

Packrat's Juno-106 - Part 2 Published on Mar 27, 2013
"A quick once-over of this fairly pristine unit. The reverence shown by Packrat to his 'True Love' definitely applied to the real synthesizer behind the comic strip!"

"Now that Dave's Juno-106 has a new clip-mounted battery to power its CPU board's patch backup memory, it's time to restore the patch set we saved earlier using Vyzor Juno-106."

Kiwi-106: Sound Demo 1

"A compilation of the demonstration performances by Syntegrator and David C. Lovelace. If it's wicked shredding, it's Dave, if it's simple notes held on or a particularly evil 8th note bassline, it's the Kiwi-106 Sequencer as programmed by Syntegrator.

The patches played are from the Syntegrator Sound Set, soon to be posted to kiwi-106.com."
