Double Heart Juno 106 Voice chips

video upload by Double Heart Audio

"Sound demo of the Double Heart Audio voice chips for the Juno 106, HS-60, MKS-7, GR-700, Juno 106S

https://www.doubleheartaudio.com/"

"Set of 6 380017a modules. We designed our 380017a voice modules (voice chips, VCF/VCA, filter ICs) in-house, and we carefully test every single one for the Roland JUNO-106, HS-60, MKS-30, MKS-7, GR-700. Our modules are socketed so that you can easily swap them out in the very unlikely event of failure. We're confident that our modules will last—So confident, that we offer a lifetime replacement warranty."

"Juno 106S in excellent condition. All of the voices on this unit are functioning. There are a few scratches and scuffs on the unit, but its appearance is overall very clean. If you are not familiar, the 106S is basically a 106 with two built-in speakers. Otherwise, the 106S is identical to the 106 in terms of sound. The equivalent of this model for US markets would be the HS-60.

The speakers on this unit function well at a high volume. If you want to turn off the speakers, you can either disconnect them or plug a quarter inch jack into the phones port. Please note that the foam surround has deteriorated with time on the speakers. They ought to be re-foamed in the future in order to ensure their longevity.

Be aware that this model was originally purchased in Japan, so it is 100v. I have always used a power converter, but I believe there is a simple procedure to change it to 120v if you have some soldering skills.

This listing comes with a rare 'SC-65' branded carrying bag in good condition."

Roland Juno HS-60 with Wood Sides

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"The Roland HS 60 is an interesting thing. It is a Juno 106 with built-in speakers, yet it has a completely different name. Well if you are here you already know about the Juno 106. There isn't much to be said which has not already been said. It is the most versatile analog synth ever. It can be used for any purpose and in any context. It is arguably the greatest synth of all time.

This one is in excellent condition, it has been recently serviced and voice chips have been replaced. It would be difficult to find one in such a well-kept condition. It currently resides in a smoke-free home, underneath a soft blanket, but it is time to find a new home for it as im downsizing my studio."

"We paid our tech for 10 hours of skilled labor to completely refurbish and future-proof this unit so it will hopefully outlast all others of its kind. This work is of course reflected in its price.

All 80017 chips had their resin coating removed (this coating eventually starts causing failures in these, so we chemically remove it as a preventative measure). Both speakers in this unit have been replaced with new ones. Power supply electrolytic capacitors were replaced. The battery was replaced and patches were reloaded. This unit was cleaned inside and out. (The speaker area is hard to clean, so you may still see dust inside that section if you look closely). Cold solder joints were reflowed. Cleaned and lubed all slide and rotary pots. Recalibrated. Adjusted keyboard. Systematically tested several times and burn in test passed.

"THE BAD NEWS:

1) The handle on the bender is broken off. It is still fully functional and easy to use even without the handle. Sorry.

2) The left speaker doesn't kick in unless you turn the volume past the very lowest level. Otherwise, both speakers play fine and are crackle-free so I'm guessing this could be solved with minor cleaning/maintenance. I didn't want to attempt it and potentially mess something else up in the process. The cabinet has never been opened and it's innards have never been messed with.

3) There are only a few minor cosmetic issues. For most I had to work a bit to find the right light and angle so they'd show up in the images at all. The worst scratch is on the bottom and it is minor. There is also a tiny scratch on the top above 'chorus', another [almost completely imperceptible] one above the 'noise' slider, and a rough edge on the front lip of a white key in the top octave. Check the pictures if you're concerned. Overall this thing is in really good condition.

___
THE GOOD NEWS:

APPEARANCE: Fantastic overall cosmetic condition. It has been well cared for and properly stored in dry, smoke-free, heated / air conditioned spaces. It looks great.

FUNCTION: It works like new. Other than the items listed above, all knobs, buttons, keys, etc are in place, and fully functional. No weird quirks.

PURITY: Every single knob, button, circuit, cord, wire, etc. is original and untouched. And it still works. And it sounds great.

LOVE: I am the first and only owner of this thing since it was purchased new in the 80s. It didn't spend a year or two in a garage or on a flea market table or in a thrift store. It hasn't been on tour. It hasn't been used much at all. It deserves a more exciting future.

COOL: Sorry, but this thing is just plain cool. Looks cool. Sounds cool.

SAFE and HEALTHY: The item is currently not vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 but is guaranteed 100% free of COVID-19, seasonal flu, the common cold, and all other deadly and/or bothersome transmissible diseases and/or unfortunate maladies. I cannot attest to the current state of its mental health. It's been quite alone for far too long.

EXTRA: You'll get the original power cord, removable music stand, two pedals, and owner's manuals.

EXTRA EXTRA: You'll also get Roland's 1985 third edition Guidebook for MIDI: Which Greatly Expands Potential of Musical Composition. This winning piece features such enlightening zingers as, "MIDI employs digital signals. That is, MIDI instruments can be set up with a computer" and "MIDI has opened a new way for electronic musical instruments." It ends on a tantalizing note with, "The future of MIDI is full of possibilities not only in the musical field, but also in other fields." Get ready to LEARN!"

This is a Juno-106 but for the home enthusiast (HS meaning “Home Synth”) as it’s equipped with two speakers and a sheet music stand. All six voice chips have been replaced as well as a modern 3-prong power outlet installed. The speakers can be disabled by plugging a cable into the headphone output. This also has a stereo input so you can run a drum machine into the internal speakers/output."

"If your looking at this then you probably know what it is and what it can do but just incase , this is a Roland Juno 106 with speakers and a different colour way. The Components, Circuitry and amazing sound with that classic Chorus effect are all exactly the same as a 106, if anything these are now slightly rarer .

Just back from a full professional service, all in excellent working order and sounding great. This has been lovingly maintained in a smoke free studio, never gigged or travelled."

"The 106S is identical to the Juno 106, but with the addition of two built-in speakers. If you wish to disable the speakers and only utilize the outputs, you just need to insert a 1/4" jack into the "phones" port. The model's counterpart outside of Japan would be the HS-60."
