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.

🎶 ☠️ 🤍 Jeez. I've been doing this electronic music composition for awhile. ;-)
Note that MacPlus. That little computer opened up a world for me!
The keyboards are a Yamaha DX7, en Ensoniq-1, and a Roland Juno 106

Listening to some tracker tunes on the Apple IIgs, as one does.

In 1987 there was a (very) limited release of an arcade cabinet called "Moonquake," I have just discovered. Within, was a rather novel hardware arrangement.
This was internally an Amiga 500 with an Ensoniq 5503 DOC (the sound synth chip in the Apple IIgs and Mirage synthesizers) interfaced to it for audio. On the Apple IIgs, the DOC had one 64K sound bank. The chip supported two such banks, but the 5503 in Moonquake apparently had 512K of sound RAM -- each oscillator (or channel (sorta)) had its own 64K of RAM to pull from.

Thanks for the info on this, Ians Schmidt and Brumby from the Apple II slack.

This unique system is supported under MAME.

This is my Gravis Ultrasound. There are ... several ... like it, but this one is mine. (And it's ill, quite sadly.)

BTW - for all users of older devices that still use a 3.5" 'floppy' disc.. This looks like an awesome solution...

The #Ensoniq #ESQ1 I have in the #studio right now (a loaner from my regular occasional production partner) was apparently once submerged due to flooding ( a fact my buddy didn't discover until after he bought it LMAO) and yet it still works flawlessly (after some pretty thorough cleaning -- but not so thorough there isn't still fine silt on some of the keys).
They really did use to build stuff different.

Thought I’d give my #Ensoniq #Mirage a convenience upgrade by swapping out the diy SD-card based HxC floppy emulator to a USB one.
Obvious fail: Having the dial and screen placed the other way around would work way better. As-is, operating the dial using left hand will block the display 💩
Is it possible to rotate OLED screen output with HxC, or perhaps better to swap out firmware to #FlashFloppy ? Any other solutions? #SynthDiy #Gotek

Right now I have, in my possession, a #Roland #MKS50, a #Kawai #K4r and an #Ensoniq #ESQ1 (all synths, in case you don't know). I've got a #Tascam 414 (4-track cassette multitrack recorder), a #Yamaha #REX50 (effects unit, basically an SPX-90 with added distortion algorithms) and an #Alesis #Quadraverb (more effects). All I need is an SR-16 drum machine and I could make an album like it was 1990 again.
