  1. Today I replaced the empty battery of my vintage #Roland #Juno106 #Synthesizer.

    An empty battery in this old unit results in complete amnesia of all sound presets. (Unlike the #Ensoniq #ESQ1, that – at least with later firmwares – comes up with the factory presets in such an event, and then continues having dementia…)

    The first time I had done so, I had installed a battery holder to make things easier. The original battery is soldered into the board.

    Always fun is to restore the backup via the #tapeInterface with that #datassette sound.

    I really love how the Juno 106 is constructed. Easy access if you know those 6 screws… it's a pretty well-made, all-solid device.

    Today's Roland (and BOSS) gear feels like cheap plastic toys compared to this. I guess you have to go for an expensive #Sequential synth today if you want this quality.

    The Juno 106 synthesizers were made from 1984 to 1988. My dad had bought this unit brand new when I was a kid.

  5. So there are these #virtual #tape #drives available for the #Commodore64 but why would people use those, when there are various and affordable floppy disk emulations like SD2IEC available?

    Is there a use case I am not aware of?

    @Datassette_User maybe you can shed some light on that topic?
