Roland JU-2 Alpha Juno-2 Synthesizer Aftertouch Repair

via this auction
"This synth works properly and all functions work, though as with almost all Roland Synths of this era, the aftertouch on the keyboard does work but is not very responsive, and the aftertouch strip could be cleaned/de-oxidized to improve its response. This is a known problem with these synths. I have posted a link below [link] to an article describing the cleaning process. I also had the rotary encoder for the Alpha Dial professionally replaced recently with the proper Roland part because it had started to act a little flaky, so you can rest assured that it should continue to function well for years to come. Cosmetically, it is in good shape. There is a very small chip missing from the underside of the highest ("C") key, as you can see from the pictures. There are no dents or scratches on the top, back, and sides of the case, and there are a couple very minor scratches on the bottom of the case from normal wear and tear. Some of the screws holding the case are slightly oxidized and could be replaced, but this does not affect their functionality in any way."

Roland CR8000 Voice Mod Demo Part 1 of 2

YouTube via gumielectronic
"This is part one featuring the bass drum, snare drum, rim shot, and hand clap mods. I tried to demo all the individual voice mods here but ended up forgetting snare decay, rim tune via cymbal oscillators 5 & 6, and system noise. Full details on the modification at http://gumielectronic.net/cr8000/inde..."

Roland CR8000 Voice Mod Demo Part 2 of 2

"This is part two featuring the hi hat, cymbal, clave, conga, and tom mods. Again I forgot to twist a couple of knobs: hi hat and cymbal high pass filters (they're not that great), clave boost (I used the trigger pulsewidth knob instead), high conga tune (behaves the same as the low & mid congas, just pitched higher), and tom noise."

Roland CR8000 With Elby MIDI2SDS(X) Installed

" Testing the Elby MIDI to trigger modules after installing them into the CR8000 case."

Roland CR8000 & Elby MIDI2SDS(X) Test

"This was early in the Roland CR8000 modification process when I was testing the Elby MIDI2SDS(X) MIDI to trigger modules. The CR is being sequenced by a 1 bar MIDI loop in Live. I also tweaked the 'noise' and 'offset' VRs on the voice board a bit. Definitely needs more cowbell."

Roland CR8000 Modification Timelapse

"Several days of work on the CR8000 in a cold shop. My pipes froze that week. But with the price of micro-miniature SPST switches these days, who can afford to heat the house?"
