Slight pic of the inside below.

"Super cool OG programmable drum machine! Classic 80's vibe. Works! The box has duct tape on the corners to hold it together (before my time) and the battery pack is broken but the white electrical tape does the job. Can also run off a 6v adapter.

Overall in great condition, one of the screws on the backplate is stripped but it's included in the box."

Roland Juno-106 61-Key Programmable Polyphonic Synthesizer w/ New Voice Chips

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

via this Reverb listing

"The Juno-106 synthesizer was Roland’s successor to the Juno-60 and was first released in 1984. It was one of Roland’s first synthesizers to include MIDI and the patch memory was expanded to 128 patches over the 56 available on the Juno-60.

The synth is polyphonic with 6 voices and 1 digital controlled oscillator per voice. It has a chorus effect to fatten up the sound and by pressing both the Poly 1 and 2 switches at the same time, the synth can be played in monophonic unison mode with all 6 voices playing on every key pressed. It has a non-resonant high pass filter and a resonant low-pass filter.

It’s easy to program and remains a popular synth to this day.

This unit was fully serviced in Oct 2021 at Bell Tone Synth Works and at that time, all 6 voice chips were replaced with Analogue Renaissance voice chips. In addition, they performed the following services:

Replace 3 electrolytic smoothing capacitors in power supply, reflow solder on power transistors/regulators, adjust power supply rail voltages
Re-solder output board jacks, cleaned output level switch and tuning pot.
Clean volume pot, portamento pot and pitch bend pot.
Replace old soldered-in patch memory battery with new battery in battery holder for easy replacement in the future; reload sounds.
Calibrate all parameters to Roland specs.
Replace 2-prong Japanese power cable connector with standard 3-prong IEC C14
Replace all panel button tact switches, clean all sliders, replace crumbly slider dust gaskets with new ones.
Replaced (2) MN3009 BBD IC's in Chorus circuit with new Xvive MN3009s to reduce noisy wooshing
Repaired and re-centered bender pot by resoldering the wiring and re-aligning to get the bender working correctly."

KORG ARP 2600 FS DEMO

video upload by EthanRayMusic

"Here's 8 minutes of me messing around on Korg's full size reissue of the ARP 2600. This is by no means a comprehensive showcase of its sonic potential, which is vast, but just a small taste of how great it sounds.

No reverb or effects, just the pure, dry signal of the 2600 going into my interface."

11/30/25 Metasonix D-2000 + MFB SEQ-1 + Roland SPH-323 + Peavey 1300 + Alesis MIDIVERB II

video upload by Cfpp0

"11/30/25 Metasonix D-2000 + MFB SEQ-1 + Roland SPH-323 + Peavey 1300 + Alesis MIDIVERB II

ALM Pamela’s New Workout clocks the MFB SEQ-1, which is triggering the Metasonix D-2000. The D-2000 mix output runs through the Roland SPH-323 phase shifter into the Peavey 1300 delay, in a double mode with heavy feedback. That signal runs to the Mackie Onyx 1640 mixer, where a reversed reverb from the Alesis MIDIVERB II is applied."

Semi Modular Jam Stylophone CPM DS-2 and DF-8, Korg NTS 1, featuring Bella 11/30/2025

video upload by I Love Cats and Synths

"I patched the two Dubreq Stylophone CPM modules together to create a binaural stereo synth patch which I then played from a Keystep. Effects are from the DF-8 (delay) and Korg NTS-1 (flanger and reverb).

Bella joins in and wants scritches and to play while I'm trying to play.

Roland Juno 60 | Ambient soundscape with Fractal Audio FM3

video upload by MIDERA

"I decided to help a friend and replaced all of his Roland Juno 60 sliders. I figured I’d done a lot of similar work for myself, and I’ve had a lot of people help me out so I wanted to pass it forward. Well, after spending 3 hours replacing the sliders, it was 12:30AM and I turned on the unit to test it out. But it went horribly wrong. Nothing sounded right. Noise was always present, the Attack slider didn’t work, Sub was always on, you get the picture. By this point, I was totally stressed out. I had destroyed a $3000 synth!

I tried going to sleep, but it was around 3AM before I could. I woke up the next day, stressed. I ran downstairs to see if it was just something simple I missed, but nothing seemed wrong. All the pins had continuity to the traces they were going towards.

By 5PM that day, I finally wrote on a facebook group. Someone mentioned something regarding the new sliders from Syntaur. He said they’re chassis legs are too short. Specifically, the Attack slider chassis provides ground to IC5, pin 8. But when I checked, there was continuity from the pad to IC5 pin 8. HOWEVER, the pad was NOT connected to the chassis. I quickly threw the old slider in, and magically… it all worked. I couldn’t believe it. That was about 24 hours of terror as I tried to figure out what went wrong.

However, it is now going strong, perfectly. I’m very thankful to that facebook group!

Fractal Audio FM3 used for delay/reverb/fx."

Kowloon Park Field Recordings & Prophet-10 Ambient | Park and Birds 2025-11-30 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using field recordings from Kowloon Park in Hong Kong, along with the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10 and ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field.
It is an ambient electronica work where synthesizer harmonies resonate over a backdrop of birdsong.

On the Prophet-10, synth pads are performed and processed with reverb using the blueSky.

The OP-1 field is routed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOST+FOUND and ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY, adding tape-style effects and reverb, followed by an additional layer of reverb and filtering from the NIGHTSKY.

The park ambience was recorded at Kowloon Park on November 26, 2025, using a TASCAM Portacapture X8."

Cosmolab: Rapid audio hardware prototyping #faselunare

The Unique Superpower of the MONOPOLY's MICROTONAL DRONES

video upload by Element433 (a.k.a. Pere Villez)

"Full, deep dive into creating paraphonic microtonal drones on the Korg and Behringer Monopoly paraphonic synthesisers. This creates deep, mesmerising tones and textures. It's a ticket to space.

If you know of other synths that can do this please comment below and I will update this description for everyone.

Getting into Microtonality:
One of the easiest ways to enter the microtonal sphere is to learn to make microtonal paraphonic drones. Once you have the basics, there is an infinite number of microtonal texture to explore, either scales or chords. The Monopoly GUI architecture is unique amongst synthesisers for being able to doing this because of its "chord" store function. If you know of any other synths that can do this too, please comment below and I will update this description for everyone.

Inspired by the drones from the Tanpura and Shruti in Indian music and other cultures, which use drones.

WARNING!!! Once hear this, you can never unhear it.

Effects used on examples: Valhalla SUperMassive reverb
Recorded on location on a small planet off the arm of Orion

Gold listening:
Wendy Carlos 'Beauty in The Beast'
Terry Riley 'Harp of New Albion' (microtonally tuned acoustic piano)

"The K4 from Kawai can be thought of as a warm and fuzzy digital synthesizer. A sample-based digital synth, its sounds are those typically weird industrial type sounds that can still be useful in lo-fi, big-beat and trip hop music styles. The sounds are 16-bit preset PCM samples of acoustic instruments. However, unlike its predecessor the K1, the K4 adds a welcomed digital filter section. This truly makes the K4 more flexible, fun and useful for today's filter tweaking music effects!

The XD5 is an awesome drum synth module that has 256 waveforms, four of which can be combined to create a drum sound. It also has great resonant lowpass filters and envelopes for shaping the sounds and is excellent for techno, electro and industrial drums. For effects, a delay type effect is possible as well as a ring-modulator. It also has stereo outputs plus 6 individual outs for the studio pros. Mouse On Mars might use it.

The MM16 is a multi-purpose MIDI data processor with 17 front panel faders. Each of the sliders can be assigned for continuous controller information over any one of 16 MIDI channels, a "velocity mode" that uses the 16 sliders to become a "graphic EQ" for velocity data, and a system exclusive mode for transmitting system exclusive information to control individual synthesizer functions. Setups are included for Kawai K1, K4, K5, Yamaha DX7, and Roland D50. The MM16 can merge two MIDI signals, and can perform MIDI channelizing. You can also use it as a control surface for DAWS"
