"These are a very interesting and unique sounding instrument. You've basically got a Yamaha SY-1 synth built into an organ. The synth and organ sounds can be layered, synth sound can be played by the upper keyboard or pedals.
Sounds can be routed to stationary or the built in rotary (Leslie) speakers. Lush spring reverb and what in my opinion makes these so special, the touch sensitive upper keyboard, routable to modulation, filter and volume. Amazing for 1974!
Beautiful to play, it's a very expressive synth and has that bubbly, organic early Yamaha analogue synth sound as you would expect. It does in fact use several of the same component modules as the mighty Yamaha GX1 synth and the sound, though monophonic is unmistakably similar."
"Up for sale used in mint condition fully working with professional services by respected professional with years of experience from Miami.
- All voice chips were replaced. I’m the second owner and I bought this Juno 106 in excellent fully working condition. One of the voice chips stoped working couple of months ago so I replaced all of the voice chips. Very pricey service.
- Internal Replacement Battery and Battery holder was installed. It makes battery change on Juno 106 soldering free! Another modification that was installed to this Juno 106.
- Juno 106 comes with Roland MSQ-100. This is the preferred sequencer for a Juno 106 and is even matched to go with it! It also allows you to MIDI sync your DIN equipped drum machines."

In this video, I have the four individual outs of the Akai Timbre Wolf Going into the four individual inputs of the Elektron Octatrack MK2. Each Octatrack channel has two fx applied to each Timbre Wolf part, to twist them into very different sounds from each other. Even thought they are exactly the same synthesizerx4. Joining these mangled Wolves are metal hits for the main kick & snare, a hyper, chopped up drum loop, and lots of sound design loops. Each mangled by there own set of FX with lots of crossfader controlled scenes to further the animation of sound. The eight part is used asa a master channel for full mix filtering & compression. A bit of extra compression, EQ and verb was added in Logic."
"EDM Club-like-tune generated by Amoeba and softpop. I always liked to use Trigger as CV if properly attenuated. Amoeba should NOT be used as CV generator. But I just loved it. Please leave evaluation 1-10 in the comments. I'd like to know if it is only me that like this kind of music/jam"
"I have been looking forward to use the 4ms stereo triggered sampler in combination with the Korg sq1. Both for drums and melodic sequences these two are a really good hands on improvisation duo. This jam was not prepared at all, just pressed record after I had something nice going on, and couldn’t stop anymore. I got into it a few minutes in. All sound is from the sampler. There are no loops, just individual drum samples, and none of them are stock samples. Clouds is responsible for the saturation/distortion and delay.
PS: I have to tweak the volume of the individual samples a bit for a better mix
