Why the Roland Jupiter 6 is amazing.
mylarmelodies
"Sit with me and let's have a blast on the ever-underappreciated dark horse of the vintage Roland Jupiter polys - Jupiter 6. Beloved by Orbital, and you can hear a lot of them in it. Even by today's standards it's still amazingly powerful, full of options with its own unique voice, killer oscillator and filter combo, as we get into in this vid! Let's polybleep!"
Roland Jupiter-8 (Groove Electronics MIDI Mod) Editor for MIDI Designer
via MIDI Designer
"This simple layout allows acces to all MIDI controllers that are exposed by the Groove Electronics MIDI modification from 1987 for the Roland Jupiter-8. Note, that the Groove MIDI interface does not expose all parameters of the Jupiter-8, but at least the most important.
This layout comes in handy when you want to record controller movements into your DAW, which is otherwise not possible with the Jupiter-8, since the Groove interface does not send out any parameter changes from the Jupiter-8 panel controls through its MIDI output.
Another interesting use-case is the much higher fader resolution you get when controlling the Jupiter-8's parameters via MIDI. I suspect that the Groove MIDI interface adds too much load to the old CPU of the Jupiter-8 that the timing/resolution of the hardware faders suffer somehow. However, the same parameters sent via MIDI are processed much faster and smoother. So, if you need faster fader resolution this MD layout might help you."

"RARE Syntecno TeeBee MK1 real analog synthesizer, filter, and syncbox all in one!
Not just any TB-303 clone: this is a very underrated synth that provides the TB-303 sound iwith a ton of extra features!
A very high quality piece: I've owned several TB-303 clones over the years and the TeeBee ranks near the top in terms of both sound and features. The TeeBee is unique in being one of the only TB-303 style synths in a 19" rackmount format. The knobs are some of the best on any gear I've ever had - really wish more manufacturers made gear this solid!
Features:
Velocity sensitive Synthesizer based on Roland TB-303
Mixable Analog Filter with analog input
Sync-box with DIN sync and MIDI!
MIDI-to-CV convertor!
4-channel CV / Gate for eurorack integration, etc.
Analog controller
Fast digital Midi controller (sends MIDI CC's for automation control).
Internal MIDI sequencer (basic)
Slide effect controlled through MIDI, as well as every other editable parameter using MIDI SysEx commands!"

"• Modifications :
-CLONE KLM-367A PCB. Brand new control board! Slightly lower-noise TL072 op-amps used instead of 4558's, high-quality long-life electrolytic capacitors, original rare transistors. Includes new CR2032 coincell battery (memory backup).
-VOICES DIRECT OUT. An extra output socket has been added that bypasses the Polysix Effects section, which normally adds noise even when set to "off" - bypassing the Effects section results in a much cleaner sound!
-EFFECTS IN. An extra input socket has been added to route external sounds through the analog "Bucket Brigade" Polysix Effects section. When in use, the Effects output is routed to the Output and Phones, while the internal Polysix sound is routed to the Voices Direct Out.
-SAW-PULSE WAVEFORM. The Saw Waveform can be used in combination with the PulseWidth Waveform, and there is a toggle switch to enable or disable the function. The waveform mix is saved in the patch data as well!
-MIDI IN. Includes Bob Tauntek's Polysix MIDI interface. Basic MIDI IN functionality: MIDI channel setting, Note On/Off, and the ability to MIDI clock the Arpeggiator. The functions are set by holding down specific keys during power-on. There is a small instruction sticker located under the keys for easy reference.
-ADDITIONAL NOISE REDUCTION. Extra steps were taken for optimum noise levels. Although this Polysix does not include the KiwiSix kit, all the additional grounding steps to reduce hum that are described in the KiwiSix installation have also been performed. Slightly lower noise TL072 op-amps have also replaced all the 4558's on the KLM-368 Effects PCB. Perhaps there is no audible difference - but it sounds great, in any case!
-SERVICED AND TUNED. The synthesizer has been adjusted to the exact specifications and tuning described in the original Korg service manual. It was given a general cleaning, rubber key contacts were refreshed, sticky tact switch buttons addressed, loose knobs tightened, etc. It's in excellent working condition!
-COMES LOADED WITH ORIGINAL FACTORY PRESETS. Presets can be backed up or restored with only minor headache using audio files and the PolySix Tape Interface."
