"Vintage JEN SX1000 Vintage Analog Monophonic Synthesizer (1978)
Great Analog Synth, originally Italian built, internal transformer modified to work both 120V & 240V without need for switch or external step down transformer.
Fully functional, all keys, knobs, jacks, in full 100% order. A very capable synth on its own with a myriad of filter & midi mods available online (not included.) Very slight surface rust on rear panel which has not changed or degraded in the 22 years I've owned this synth. Power throw switch illuminates bright red when synth is on.
Wood cheeks show minimal wear, really not bad for a 35 year old instrument. A number of colored knob decals have fallen off over the years, very easy and inexpensive to replace with DIY adhesive foil or decals (instructions online, not included) none of which effects functionality.
Auction includes:
– JEN SX1000 Analog Mono Synth
– Power cable
– 2 prong to 2 pole power adapter"
"We had a visit from the Modal Electronics team - Paul Maddox, the chief architect of the 002 and core OS at Modal, and George Hearn, the designer of the analog architecture of the 008, to talk differences and similarities. Product specialist Luca Mucci handled the playing duties."

"Mitch Gallagher gives an overview of Roland's Boutique Series synthesizers: the JP-08, JU-06, and JX-03, along with the optional K-25m keyboard controller and module dock. These synth modules bring back classic Roland synth designs for a new generation of musicians, using their Analog Circuit Behavior modeling to re-create their original analog character.
All of these synth modules give you the sound and feel of working with the original synths, plus some new enhancements. The JP-08 is based on the Jupiter-8 synthesizer, and expands on the original with extra waveforms and an extended VCO range. The JU-06, based on the Juno-106, adds a variable highpass filter and a faster LFO. And the JX-03, modeled after the JX-3P, adds extra waveforms for the LFO and DCOs, as well as an extended DCO range.
These synth modules offer tons of hands-on control, built-in sequencers, and true portability thanks to battery operation and a built-in mini speaker."
"Hi everyone,
In this video I want to share the experience of opening the Roland Boutique Synths for the very first time. I hope you enjoy this video as much as I did. I'm a little goofy in the vid, but that was my honest reaction."
"This unit was manufactured in 1984 and is serial # 1008-000628"
"The after-touch pressure sensors are currently not working well but parts are available for $1,100 and installation is straightforward. Please COMMUNICATE whether your offer is WITH or WITHOUT having brand-new (not old-stock) after-touch pressure sensors installed prior to purchase and delivery. We will need a few extra days to perform and test the installation but the current owner has elected not to spend so much additional refurbishment cost without a committed buyer."
