"Custom hardwood end panels installed. These are made from beautiful maple birdseye hardwood. They have been sanded finely and wood oiled. The ones in the picture have a natural oil but I can fit cherry stained color end panels if requested (see last picture for comparison).
Original plastic end parts are avaliable on request.
This Juno 106 has all of its original voice chips rejuvenated. They have been extensively tested and work without problem.
Original internal battery (which is soldered directly to the PCB) has been replaced by a battery holder/watch battery combination making future replacement much easier. The battery is needed for the retainment of memory when the unit is switched off. Original factory presets have been reinstalled.
All switches on the Juno 106 panel board have been replaced with new ALPS tactile switches (operating life of 1,000,000 cycles)"
"In a world where music has become irrelevant, in a time where quantity comes over quality...a new force rises from within...armed with magic machines of ancient times...driven by pure passion and devotion.....fueled by the craft and skills of their forefathers....they will fight to make music free again...they will rage until the spirits of old will have their revenge....they go by the name....Chrome Brulee"
"An electronic piece called 'Time Synthis' explores some of the hidden waves of the SQ-80 "Cross Wave Synthesizer". Photo slide show of pictures I took showing the steps of the upgrade as well as other shots inside and outside. This is a very special synthesizer, super clean inside too! (its not for sale).
I bought this synth from an ebay member: thomasb93. I don't want to give a source away, but he does a great job refurbing synths! I found this one, and was well worth it!
Here is a description of what he did with this SQ-80: "All buttons, wheels, faders, keys and disk drive work as they should. It has a new 3V lithium installed. The power supply passes the correct voltage at all test points and the CEM 3360 analog filter sounds great. This synth also features polyphonic aftertouch. The insides of the synth look new and the key contacts, foam pads and keyboard pcb look new as well." I feel proud to own this well cared for instrument! Thanks Tom!
This is an improvisation done on two tracks, all SQ-80 with a Lexicon MX-300 doing some effect processing. Note: these are patches I've created, the upgrade to 1.8HW doesn't give you a new set of patches, it just gives you 52 more wave types that can be used for the three oscillators. They simply add to the list of waveforms simply as numbers 75-127. The patches used in this video used hidden waveforms 78, 79, 80, 82, ."
