Click the image for the full size shot.

"Los Angeles, CA, June 20, 2008—Roland® Corporation is pleased to announce the new JUNO-Stage synthesizer. As the latest addition to the benchmark JUNO Series, JUNO-Stage is uniquely created for live performance applications.

This professional-grade 76-key synthesizer ships with an essential high-quality sound set, including an 88-key stereo multisampled piano derived from the Fantom-G. Two slots for SRX expansion boards add even more options to a player’s sonic palette. A redesigned keyboard ensures the JUNO-Stage feels as good as it sounds.

The JUNO-Stage includes all the features needed for a streamlined live performance, such as simple split and layer functions, separate reverb and EQ knobs, an intuitive top panel and LED display, and the FAVORITE function. Made popular by the current JUNO series, this function allows for the quick recall of up to 100 unique sounds and keyboard setups. The JUNO-Stage even includes a dedicated XLR microphone input with reverb and a vocoder, adding another unique possibility for a live performance.

The JUNO-Stage effortlessly translates to the studio as well. Using a single button, it is transformed into a MIDI master keyboard, enabling seamless integration with external sound sources and software recording applications. A USB memory port enables playback of .MP3, .WAV, .AIFF, or .SMF files from standard USB flash memory.

With highly refined sounds and features designed for studio and stage, the JUNO-Stage is the perfect synthesizer for any level of performing player and recording artist.

Not Breathing Sound Systems


"i piced up a WSG pcb from ray wilson's www.musicfromouterspace.com - i made it - its great and horrible. it had a lil area on the pcb to add extra circuit - so i built a 4030 based ring modulator - and then i made a 2watt amp using a big magnet 4ohm speaker (same type as below) - i then added a distortion /fuzz circuit - and then i cloned the lfo section from the commonsound.org tremulus lune vibrato - vactrol/knobs for symetry, spacing, smoothness, speed,depth - both the lfos are routed to a two way switch - so either the VCF or VCO 1 can be moded by one - or RES or VCO2 can be moded by the other - what a mess!"

You can find a sample of this piece along with more of Dave Wright's creations on Not Breathing Sound Systems.
