"I haven't used this synth in a while (the last time was for a 70s inspired Australian horror feature film I wrote the music for called 'Sororal' [2012]). It's in great condition and comes with the manual. It was fully serviced by Synth Service Melbourne in 2015."

Recapped Roland Jupiter 4 w/ MIDI I/O

"Cosmetically in great shape and electronically in future proofed condition. A complete professional overhaul was done this year at Waveformless which included a complete recap of every voice card, power supply, and programmer board, a tuning and calibration. Every key was cleaned and all sliders and knobs have been fully lubricated and throughly cleaned.

The FULL MIDI I/O kit was installed which includes both the expanded memory section as well as all the page 2 functions. The I/O MIDI kit comes in two options and some owners choose to install only one component, this Jupiter 4 has the complete full kit. This allows for total control over MIDI for all the sliders on the JP4. Not only that but a MIDI output is also installed, which means you can actually record slider movements and keyboard playing straight from the Jupiter 4 into your favorite sequencer. The I/O MIDI Kit for the JP4 is the most comprehensive MIDI solution. Not only that, but it uses a faster CPU so MIDI triggering is absolutely lightning fast. If you want to synchronize the arpeggiator to MIDI there are many options for dividing down the MIDI clock, but it will work just as the original did over the trigger input as well.

You will be hard pressed to find a better Jupiter 4 anywhere. A lot of money was invested into creating the most stable, fully tuned, and fully integrated for 2017 Jupiter 4 that's ready for serious use. It sounds absolutely superb and the tuning is rock solid due to the extensive recapping of each individual voice card."

Melu Instruments Freak

Published on Mar 22, 2017 Perfect Circuit Audio

"Freak from Melu Instruments is a dual digital phase synchronized oscillator for use in Eurorack modular synthesizers. Both oscillators can be phase synchronised to each other, each with dedicated audio outputs. This allows one to process both oscillators separately, providing a sharp and well defined tone for bass and leads. The modulator, which can reach audio-rate frequencies, helps to create a complex and interesting timbre reminiscent of early Casio phase modulation synthesizers and DX7-style FM."

0-Coast Science: Avoiding "Pinning"

Published on Mar 22, 2017 MAKEN0ISE

"Control voltage opens up the palette of a synthesizer far beyond what is possible when controlling only by hand. Understanding how control voltage works in the confines of a parameter you are controlling is key to its deliberate use. In this video we’ll demonstrate voltage range and polarity using the 0-Coast’s Multiply parameter."
