Note how the dreaded voice chips sit on the board.

"Roland Juno 106, with 6 fully tested and calibrated (yes, calibrated) 80017 voice chips (no lot 41A chips!), a new battery and all factory patches re-loaded. The diplay is clear and bright, all LEDS are bright and steady, and all selector buttons work fine."

Music Easel Oscillator

via Buchla Tech where you will find more info including another shot.

"The oscillator section in the 208 module can be seen as a rest stop on the way between the 258 and the 259. The "timbre" section is introduced as well as a switch to select waveforms. It's the first time Don implemented a dedicated modulation oscillator and trimmed keyboard CV inputs.

Interestingly, the original version of the 208 used a totally different design than the 258 or the 259, with Vactrols in the oscillator core. I don't know how many of these were made, but it was fazed out in favor of the 259-like design you can find schematics for on the web."

Me playing Depeche Mode "But not Tonight"

"As a lot of people requested, 'But not Tonight'.
This is the "movie" (Modern Girls) version.

No sampled sounds. All were programmed by myself (except Emulator II choir sample). Backtrack recorded with Pro Tools helped by Reason.
