Roland Alpha Juno 2 JU-2 Analog Polysynth

"In the words of the pioneers that made the Alpha Junos famous...

"Charly says always tell your mummy before you go off somewhere (to play with your alpha juno)" - Prodigy 1991

"Bigger and bolder and rougher tougher, in other words, sucker, there is no other... I wanna kiss myself (because I bought this alpha juno)!" - Human Resource 1992

This poly classic is ready for another go-round. From the original "What The" Dominator hoover to the addictive chord memory feature, this unit delivers meaty, sweet, sweeping, chiming, timeless tones with a matured MIDI implementation and updated components making them a bit less of a maintenance beast than the legendary 106 predecessor.

I've replaced the solder-in battery with a CR-2032 clip for ease of replacement in the future (new battery as well of course)
The keyboard had keys not working, but after cleaning and a couple trace repairs, every strike is solid now
A couple of the bottom panel screw mounts had been broken by a previous over-zealous tech. These have been properly re-mounted
Inside and out has been vacuumed and cleaned
Factory patches restored
Comes with power cord"

Custom Modified Korg KP2 Kaosspad

via this auction

"Customized Korg KP2 Kaoss Pad. The original casing was replaced with distressed barn wood giving this KP2 a unique style like no other. The main purpose for this customization was to allow for additional room within the box for further modifications. As you likely know, many mods can be made to these units. This one has had a hold switch added to the right side to allow for an effect to be kept on without having to hold down the spring lever. This free’s up your hands to work with other instruments effects as you make your music.

Another mod that was attempted was to add a 1/4” input and output. However, this mod seems to not function properly. The standard stock input and output connections do work perfectly fine."

Liszt Chorale: Crux Ave Benedicta

Published on Jul 26, 2018 Kris Lennox

"This is all getting very serious. I feel like I'm at church. Give it another day of this and I'll be feeling guilty for no reason whatsoever. I think I'd better have a lie down and play some Jefferson Airplane in the morning.

Some notes RE the Chorale: Liszt worked on the set at the end of the 1870's, with the plan being to make a collection of piano arrangements of sacred songs, the set written for Cardinal Gustav Hohenlohe-Schillingsfurst - but Liszt only partially completed the set. Still, the pieces are worth a look.

A few here will likely be familiar with the surname Hohenlohe - especially so if you know the poetry of Rilke.

RE this recording: I assume it goes without saying that the score doesn't indicate a filter sweep on the final chord! But it sounds good. At least, to my ear it does. SEM filter very obvious on this patch.

All best
Kris"

"The Kawai SX-210 is a very rare synth. It's an 8 voice poly synth with 4 poly stack mode as well as mono mode and chord mode. Built in chorus gives you the ability to hit those Juno sounds as well as polysix/MonoPoly sounds. It's got Sub Osc, PWM, LFO routing/trigger and more. It's a very capable and great sounding synth. It has a very large patch name display which is unique as it lets you write words for patch names rather than just a 2 or 3 digit number."

"The AX60 is a 6 voices VCO analog poly synth from 1986. This synth offer a lot of interesting modulation possibilities like pulse width modulation on every waverforms, 2 ADSR enveloppes per voices, amplitude modulation, filter modulation and exponential FM. The instrument is also bi-timbral, meaning you can split the voices and run two different patch at once. There is two selectables chorus an arpegiator and an powerful unison mode. There is a lot of knobs and sliders so the synth is very easy and fast to program."
