"Very rare and majestic sounding two oscillator analog poly synth from the golden age of synthesizers.
Three sections (synthesizer + brass + strings) that can be mixed together for the thickest, richest sounds possible. Really shines at doing pads and string sounds but also can be excellent for bass & lead synth as well (though more limited than comparable analog poly synths like Yamaha CS series, Oberheim, etc.).
Tons of in/out routing capability. A standalone LFO can really bring this thing to another level (I used a moog moogerfooger ring mod).
This guy has it's bumps and bruises, some brackets on the wood cheeks, plus some tape gunk left over but it's what inside that counts.
Completely serviced and re-traced by local synth repair guru Gerry Dahl in 2017. He replaced the dead & leaky battery and repaired all the boards. It's run well ever since.
The factory patches have been wiped but you can program your own sounds."
"Roland Juno-106 61-Key Programmable Polyphonic Synthesizer 1984 - 1985 - Black. Excellent to mint condition. Full service by EccoHollow Sound in Staunton VA in 2021. Kept in home Studio played very little."
Limited tweaking but very pleasant analog sound
of all instruments.
Unfortunatley as you can see was the sturdy
RITMOBOX damaged on transport due to back
packaging. The shaft of the volume pot was bent.
Fortunately the RITMOBOX is a solid beast with
its pots screwed to the surface. Otherwise the
pot would have broken out of the board. As a result
of the shock 4 multipurpose button caps fell off
their sockets. A hefty violent shaking is necessary that
they leave their positions."
"This video demonstrates the behaviour of the Soundforce modules µCHORUS 6 and its full sized counterpart CHORUS 6. I also spend some time comparing the sound of the Soundforce modules µDCO, µVCF 6, µCHORUS 6 and CHORUS 6 to my vintage Roland Juno 60 (that I bought about 15 years ago when prices were still a power of ten lower).
When Nicolas of Soundforce asked me if I would be up for making a video about his upcoming Roland Juno inspired chorus modules, I was already excited (it might not be apparent but I'm a huge Juno fanboy) and it's safe to say the µCHORUS 6 delivers when it comes to genuine authenticity. The fact that the big version of his chorus called CHORUS 6 goes far and beyond was something I couldn't really phatom until I tried the unit out. Especially the ability to use audio rate modulation and external CV to modulate just about every parameter turned out to be very interesting indeed.
I use the Soundforce µDCO and µVCF 6 extensively in the video as well. The combo of these modules is very much enjoyable for a fan of 80s era DCO polysynths (even when they're just one mono voice) but they're certainly not limited to sounding like your favourite cheese or Roman goddess."
"Demonstrating to different sounds, using the sine wave: a nice and soft bell tone and a Big Brass Sound. #shorts #shorts #ringmodulator #vangelis #cs80"
