"If you're looking at this you probably already know what this is.. it's the grand - daddy of all analog synthesizer..
It's in good condition considering its age, never been abused, just some scratches on the body. There are a few of what looks like small cigarettes burns on the keys (pic #11).
The arpeggio rate slider's knob and arpeggio up button are not original, other than that it's all original.
Serial number 343077 and has been tested in fully working order and takes 220v voltage.

The Jupiter-8 was Roland's first truly professional analog synthesizer. The Jupiter-8 features 16 rich analog oscillators at 2 per voice, eight voice polyphony and easy programming! At eight voices you can get some pretty thick analog sounds. Easy and intuitive programming via front panel sliders, knobs and buttons for all your tweaking needs. The legacy of the Jupiter synthesizers is due to their unique voice architecture and design, creating sounds that were so unreal and amazing that they have to be heard! No other synths in the world can create analog sounds as cool and authentic as these.

The Jupiter-8 was the biggest and fattest of them all (Jupiters and Junos)! It was one of the first synths to allow its keyboard to be split and layered - it's eight voices of trance heaven! Cross-mod, oscillator sync, a great LFO and a classic arpeggiator are also on-board. There's also a killer resonant analog low pass filter, same as the Juno-6 / 60, with the added option of choosing 2-pole (12 dB/oct) or 4-pole (24 dB/oct) modes as well as a separate high-pass filter."

"Vintage ARP 2813 Odyssey two oscillator voltage controlled duo-phonic analog synthesizer

Smooth sliders. This item is really good. It has been fully calibrated and totally gone through. It is very stable, plays and scales in tune. The old keyboard bushings have been replaced with new soft ones for the "like new" pratt and reed feel. The cosmetic condition is good. Expect a few scratches and cosmetic blemishes as this keyboard is nearing 40 years old. The pictures show the condition pretty well. This is a really nice odyssey. This keyboard is a solid 8 out of 10."

ARP AXXE 2313 SN 249

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

"Vintage ARP AXXE 2313 analog synthesizer. MOOG type FILTER. recent restoration. LOW SERIAL NUMBER. Item has brand new key-bushings and the contacts have been cleaned and aligned. All of the slide pots have been removed, disassembled, cleaned and reassembled. This item has been completely gone through. This item has been tuned and calibrated to factory spec. Most of the color slider tops are reproduction. Cosmetic condition is very good overall for a vintage item. Item has a few scratches and a few chips and is missing some of the silk screened image on the face. One of the wooden side caps looks to have had a crack repaired in the past. The side caps have been cleaned and oiled (not refinished.) They have a some signs of wear but over all look pretty good. This item has some character, and it sound amazing. See pictures.

This is a great sounding analog keyboard. Short warm up. Starts right up and plays great.

ABOUT THE "MOOG" type FILTER: This is an earlier model without the 4075 filter-module mounted on-top of the board. The parts are slightly different and are placed directly onto the main pcb board on this model. Everyone commonly calls these models the "moog filter" models. It really does sound a lot more like a moog. More creamy and a lot fuller and more brassy sounding. I believe that most of the 2313 models probably wouldn't have had this feature, but this one is an extremely low serial number at #0249. I actually have another axxe 2323 orange face that i restored at the same time and have had others in the past. That is where my information on comparison of the filter sound is coming from."
