Roland Jupiter 6 with Europa Mod

"BIG FAT POLYSYNTH in virtually factory fresh condition.

After looking at several JP6s I bought this from Tonetweakers in the US five years ago, they said it was by far the nicest Jupiter 6 they had ever seen.

COSMETICS - Mint, really almost as it left the factory in 1983. There is a teeny tiny hairline scratch top left of the control panel running through the a of the Roland logo, anything else you see in the pictures is just dust or fingerprints! It really belongs in a museum, except then it would never get used, which would be a tragedy.

All knobs and buttons and LEDs are present/working and none have faded or gone yellow with age. The keyboard is springy, even and white. Even the performance section, which usually takes a bashing is unmarked, as is the back. It must have spent most of its life in a box to have survived so well, it's certainly never been gigged or left open to the air and sunlight in a smoky studio.

FUNCTION - Everything works perfectly, big fat analogue badness. In Unison mode it sounds like an OBX-a and even in standard poly it sounds amazing. It's capable of an enormous range of sounds from huge pads and crisp strings to quirky Moog-y filter bloops.

This example has the desirable EUROPA upgrade from SynthCom in V2.0 guise which not only upgrades the MIDI to embrace modern features but also upgrades the arpeggiator to include various modes including random (as in the JP4 on Rio). It also adds patch saving/loading via MIDI (making the dreaded tape dump obsolete), factory patch setting restoration and even a small sequencer - read more on their site - http://www.synthcom.com/Europa/europaFaq.html

Basically the Europa means you can really use this board as part of a modern studio setup and best of all it adds PATCH LAYERING! You can now layer the upper keyboard patch on top of the lower patch and control it with the BALANCE knob. This adds a wealth of sounds the standard JP6 can't get close to and really bites at the ankles of the Jupiter 8!!

Andy Collins (Gary Numan's synth man in Sussex) replaced a capacitor on the two-voice board for me last year, since when it's sounded and performed impeccably.

It comes with a dust cover, a Jupiter 6 manual (not original), a Europa manual and a power lead. It's switched to accept UK voltage but can be switched to US..."

Roland TR-808 Classic Analogue Drum Machine - Recently Refurbished

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

via this auction

"In great condition, recently refurbished by a professional music equipment engineer in London. It had all the pots and switches replaced. It fully works and it sounds fantastic. One of the switches is missing a top part but that should be easily replaced.

It also comes with 2 jacks to midi cable (pictured below), as it is possible to sync it to a sequencer using rv0 software, this will save you money getting a kenton kit or Doepfer sync unit.

For international buyers, please note that there could be a customs charge that you could be responsible for."

Roland "CIRCITFIED" TR-505 - Massively Circuit Bent TR-505 in Wood Case

via Dan Wilson on the circuit-bending and musical DIY Google+ community:

"I thought it's been a while since I was last online, so here is a photo of my latest creation, although it isn't finished yet. I have done all of the extra circuits. I just need to start wiring it all up."

ARP 2600EX Clone

via AndyR1960 on the electro-music.com forums: "Just a teaser, but I'm well underway with my 2600EX clone (expanded... take a peek at the VCO's)

I'll backtrack on the initial build later, but I'm just to excited at the moment to sit down and write up a synopsis of what I've done so far.

This is in no way competition to the TTSH project, as it's a one off that's taken 5 years to get this far!!

More to come..."
