Roland Juno 106 61-Key Programmable Polyphonic Synthesizer 1985 SN 543868

video upload by Daniel Hoisington

"Here is a 1985 Roland Juno-106! When researching the Roland Juno-106, Wikipedia mentions some of the artists that have used this instrument...Daft Punk, Tame Impala, Caribou, Animal Collective, etc. However, there are so many more artists that have included this synth in their recordings, spanning from post-punk to hip hop and it appears in several films/television shows such as Stranger Things. It delivers extremely unique tones that are warm and analog sounding."

Korg Volca FM2 review

video upload by Molten Music Technology

"Is the new Volca FM2 the DX7 in a little box we've all been waiting for or is it a silly machine with a ridiculously complex and inaccessible synthesizer engine? I think it's a bit of both and in this video I'll show why it's a work of flawed genius.

RHODES CHROMA KEYBOARD CHASSIS for Parts

Additional Tone Tweakers Listings, also on Reverb

Some pics of the wooden keys and inside. The Chroma has a polyaftertouch keyboard. This one appears to be SN 21030 923. Karta Inglesias is written on the inside. Possibly once belonged to the Karta Inglesias School of Music.

"Here's a lot of 5 Rhodes Chroma Keyboards someone (not us!) sadly gutted many years ago. These units are in storage far away. They're obviously missing circuitry and are for parts only. No parts of these units have been tested, so they're being sold completely as-is, with no guarantees whatsoever. Since it's impractical to go back and forth to storage multiple times, we'd like to sell all 5 in one shot to one person.

We’ve heard that one or more people have remade and sell voice card circuit boards, so it may or may not be possible to make a complete working unit our of these chassis. But please verify this and check out the pics first - we can’t promise this is true as other necessary parts may be missing. Or perhaps the voice cards someone removed from these units are still floating around there somewhere and could be used to restore one or more of these (with additional parts found somewhere else)."

"Removed from a working Polysix when upgraded to Kiwi MIDI. One of the few survivors that haven't been damaged by Varta's leaking battery. Back-illuminated photos show trace paths. No apparent corrosion damage to circuits. Enlarge photos and you will see. Old battery was removed for precaution. You will need to add a new battery and/or battery holder to maintain pre-set memories."

Ensoniq EPS16+ | The cult/mythical Waveboy Effects

video upload by Espen Kraft

See the Waveboy label at the bottom of this post for more.

"Released in the early 90s, the Waveboy effects are custom effect algorithms you can load into your Ensoniq EPS 16-Plus or ASR-10 to access new effects, features and functionality.

Some of the effects simply enhance the effects already included, others enable you to make completely different sounds.

Some of these also makes it possible to use the EPS or ASR10 as an effects unit, in real time. Very cool. There were 7 different effects disks + some additional disks with new Transwaves, new waveforms to be used when building patches and instruments.

This shots are of me going through many of these in search for something cool I can use in my music. These aren't really meant as a tutorial or demo as such."
