Bad Gear - Clone THIS!!!
video upload by AudioPilz
"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. It has become common practice for old school synth manufacturers - and I mean Roland - to squeeze every penny from their great 80s legacy: toy-ish digital clones, even smaller fridge magnet-sized synth reimaginings and I totally want a pair of TR-808 Pumas.
Today we are going to talk about the CZ101. This compact 1985 Phase Distortion synth was Casio’s first foray into the world of professional keyboards and given the fact that it was used by - well - everybody can only mean one of two things: Casio doesn’t like money or it’s a really bad synth.

Roland JUNIOR 106 Mini Juno 106 w/ KIWI 106 Mod

"This is all kinds of Juno! Its a Juno 106 at heart, upgraded to a totally pro level with the KIWI 106 mod.. done professionally. AND its been modified to be a JUNIOR 106.. cropped and so cool. Very portable and very amazing.
I bought this recently and fell in love with it. I have not had time to dive into all the KIWI parameters but so far the Arpeggiator, Sequencer, MONO / POLY modes are fantastic! It can sync its LFO's, SEQ and ARP to internal and external clock which is a game changer for sure!
It should be noted that the voice chips were pro repaired from the usual issues they can have. ALL voices, filters, KEYS, buttons and slider work great.
BUT, there are a couple things to note.. The headphone jack does not work and while the bender works great with pitch and filter, i could not get the 'push' mod to work.. might be a KIWI programming thing? I dunno, like i said, i bought this recently and have not truly gotten into ALL the Kiwi possibilities.
SO.. why am i selling the best Juno i have ever played? I just picked up a restored Sequential PROPHET 10.. no, not the new one, the O.G.!!!!!! Its massive in every way and quenches my analog thirst."
