"Fantastic condition, great sound and a truly classic synth!
OBXa comes with ENCORE MIDI.
ITEM is really heavy, will be packed by a professional via DHL/UPS.
NO butchering of case, wood sides, just installation of MIDI on back panel for modern integration.

Serviced by Rosen Sound in 2019 here is a list of the work that has been done -

- All voice cards removed, recapped, and new 28 turn INIT tuning trimmers added
- Both voice card motherboards removed and reflowed solder to the aged wave solder joints
- Replace ALL TL084 opamps, CD4051 MUX, and CD40174 flip flops on the CPU boards, all very common failing components.
- Selectively replace matched resistor sets for CV's between top and bottom boards
- Re cap PSU and add multi turn trim pots for the -5 and +15 lines
- Re cap both CPU boards
- Service left hand controls
- Replace common failing DIP switch on front panel, clean all pots
- Changed the power switch to an original carlington style switch
- Full calibration of all computer functions and analog functions
- Perform all needed factory updates for noise level and volume between voices, etc."

"This mint, one-owner 12-bit Roland Jupiter-8 (serial #141xxx) just went through a complete custom restoration by synth experts from the ground up. Not simply “serviced,” it was rebuilt to look and perform like a factory fresh machine.

Restoration includes:

Full power supply rebuild
New power cord
New tact switches
New slider gaskets
New battery
Complete slider, switch and key contact cleaning
Complete factory calibration and tuning

It’s rare to see a Jupiter-8 in such perfect cosmetic shape, but even rarer to have one serviced and rebuilt to this level. No expense was spared. It is rock solid and ready for the next 40 years of playing!

NOTE: This synth does not have MIDI, as the owner did not want to alter its pristine factory condition."

Hear the Arturia PolyBrute sound amazing.


mylarmelodies

"(Skip to 30:13 for sound demos!) Hang out and I’ll demo you the mind-expanding analog ultrasynth that is the Arturia PolyBrute. It can get deep, and I barely scratch the surface in this, but most importantly, it sounds completely off the hook. So let’s get sound exploring!!

Note: There’s a mixture of my own custom sounds and presets in this. Also - the flicker on the screen and LEDs doesn't exist in person, it's just a symptom of my camera frame rate! Also note - there is no external processing on the synth beyond a bit of compression, you're only hearing its internal effects, with its built-in stereo spread (which is analogue).

PS. In part I work for Arturia in my day job, hence having access to this and making a demo!! I would very much like to keep it. Dear Arturia, please may I keep it.
