Jupiter-4 Memory Expansion

via Lyndon on AH
"Throwing this out there - does anyone have the notes on the JP-4 64 User Preset memory expansion upgrade [big knob]? Roland provided a drawing and parts. Would be nice to find this info somewhere. Here is a pic of one with the mod"

If anyone knows feel free to comment or contact me directly. My contact info is on the bottom right of the site.

KORG 770 Univox Analog Synthesizer

via this auction

"There are lots of unique and useful features to be found, like a "chorus" waveform setting for OSC 1, "pitched noise" on OSC 2, two LFOs--one of which only applies to the pitch of OSC 1, and the other only effects the filter and speed of the chorus waveform. Intrigued? Well how about autobend on OSC 1, with extensive control (speed, delay, bend up/down), or two ring modulator settings on OSC 2? The filter is magical, with Korg's first version of the resonant highpass/lowpass combination. Another amazing feature is the ability to run external audio through the filter and/or the ring modulator, which is one of the best 70's ring mod sounds ever. Truly a stunning synthesizer, the 770 rivals its more famous Korg siblings in sound, design, and features."

A/DA ADA Harmony Synthesizer

via this auction
"It is essentially a lo-fi polyphonic harmony device with Memory Man type echo w/crazy regeneration that takes your signal and can split it to any interval from 2 octaves down to one octave up. Two harmony intervals can be set up. Where things get interesting is how you set everything in relation to 2 separate delay/echo times that work in conjunction and out of conjunction with each other. Echo/Delay from 12ms to 250ms. Come of the effects include sequencer like arpeggios that trail up and down, wobbly textures, keyboard type pad drones, echo that will shift and blow your head off. Different harmonies can be punched in with the 2nd harmony ft. switch.

The amount of chips and processing that created this in 1978 is mind boggling. Only 800 of these were released for $500 in 1978. Robert Fripp of King Crimson owns 3 of them for his rig."
