"this was gone over during the past month and fully cleaned, and tested.
the filter was slightly adjusted to be more squelchy or acidy, not exactly but rather close to a 303.... they already sound pretty similar btw.
i've compared this unit to 2 other 101's over the past month and it has a unique sound, and actually none of the 3 sounded "exactly" the same.
the sequencer in the 101 is magic, similar to the 303's and it really comes alive when used.
portamento and slide are present even.

cosmetic/functional condition:
slight discoloration on the body, very minor wear. a boss sticker on the back. replacement battery cover from technology transplant . =(
battery compartment is clean, springs are good. all keys and the key bed was just gone over and is 100%
all sliders intact with caps but some caps aren't perfect and show signs of use and or wear.
for the bender section i made little padded velvet inserts for the toggles, as they were rotted and old.
not museum quality, but still an awesome synth.

mystery issues:
the lfo modulation to vco seems to not do anything.
the bender sections bend to filter seems to not do anything.
it's a easy fix i believe, with some slight adjustments to the interior pots.
but i've already taken too long working on it.
the filter works great, just not with the pitch bender."

"Jump" Roland Jupiter 6

Published on Apr 29, 2014 synthartist69·1,188 videos

"Here is a version of 'Jump' by Van Halen that I programmed the Jupiter 6 for. I know all the parts aren't exactly perfect. It's not easy to play all the other instruments...guitar, bass, drums either! For drums I actually used my Roland JV80 keyboard finger drums and just played the drums to the synthesizer track that I created. The recording didn't come out exactly the way I wanted it to but I must accept that I am not Eddie Van Halen by any means, not even a professional musician, just a hobbyist. Thanks for watching!"
