Additional SYNTH CITY Listings
The Jupiter 6 is a fantastic analog polysynth that's a little bit of an underdog compared to its siblings the 4 and the 8! However, it is very powerful and is likely overlooked due to the immense fame of the others. Its a dual VCO 6 voice with cross mod capabilities, sync, and triangle, square and saw waveforms. The filter section includes standard low pass but also band pass and high pass operation. The filter envelope routing is not preset so envelope 1, 2, or both can be assigned to control the it! The LFO section is fully featured including a random output and onset delay. Of course there is full preset saving and plenty of performance oriented controls. The one downside is that it does not include chorus or ensemble like many of the other Roland polys! It does have the coolest color scheme and those futuristic aluminum sides though. The external analog ins include arpeggiator clock in, patch shift, pedal hold and CV for the VCA and VCF. Of course it has MIDI as well so there is tons of interfacing available.
This synth is in great working condition and was just serviced by our in house technician. Cosmetically, the unit has a noticeable dent on the rear panel and a smaller one on the front underside. These imperfections are purely aesthetic and do not affect performance. In addition to the dents, the serial number plate has been removed. Please refer to the detailed photos for a closer look.

"The Fender Chroma Polaris II Model 2123B is a rare, 6-voice hybrid analog/digital synthesizer that followed the original Chroma and Polaris models. It features dual Curtis CEM3374 oscillators per voice, along with a sub-oscillator and noise generator. A Curtis CEM3372 4-pole low-pass filter is used for each voice, offering rich analog filtering. The synth includes oscillator sync, ring modulation, two envelope generators, LFO modulation, and flexible analog routing options. It has a 61-note velocity-sensitive keyboard with support for layering, splits, patch storage, and a basic onboard sequencer.
The Model 2123B was primarily produced for the Japanese market with a 100V power supply but is functionally identical to other Polaris II units.
Includes original paperwork from Fender, preset cassette tape, user manuals, sustain pedals and accessory cables as shown. Tested in wonderful working condition, showing average cosmetic wear from age -- but it very clean overall. Recently serviced in-house...
Service notes:
-Cleaned and resoldered switch panel connectors (PCB side)
-Cleaned key contacts
-Replaced primary filter capacitors in power supply
-Checked tuning and calibration and adjusted as necessary"

"Waldorf Micro Q Phoenix Ltd Edition #229/500 Virtual Analog 25 Voice Polyphonic 16 Part Multitimbral Rackmount Synth. Over all in very good condition with some rack rash. The front panel apart from rack holes is in very good shape and all encoders and buttons and knobs function properly and don't skip or stick, display is bright. One of the best sounding virtual analog synths to ever come out. One of my favorite features are the drum maps, something Access should have incorporated into the Virus series or even the later Waldorfs like the Blofeld should have done."
