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.

Replacing 3 mixers with a brand new #Tascam Model 24 and loving the cleaner workflow. Proper gain staging per synth and 200% fewer dirty connections has the setup sounding great for the first time in a long time.

Der (un)geilste #Synthesizer ever: #Roland #JdXa.
Ich möchte nicht mehr ohne den, die Möglichkeiten an Klängen sind schier unendlich und die Bedienung ist nach Eingewöhnung OK und live-tauglich.
Nicht OK ist Rolands Sparkurs. Mein #Juno106 (Mitte 80er) ist eine Kiste aus Blech und Holz. Der JD-XA (Mitte 2010er) ist ein Plastikeimer mit kaputten Schaltungen. Der ehemalige Mitbewohner hatte schon einen Draht als Kühlkörper auf den fiesen IC gesetzt, aber im Sommer reicht der nicht… nun habe ich die große OP gemacht. Leider ist das Ding nun auch… laut. Trotz Silent-Lüfter.
Das betreffliche Bauteil ist ein Spannungsregler, der einem 4-Kanal ADC vorgeschaltet ist. Wenn der wild wird, dann gibt's nur noch fiesesten Krach aus der Kiste.
Leider aber war die Reparatur nicht erfolgreich. Seit der Lüfter drin ist, spielt der Synth einen Ton permanent. Ist aber keine Störung durch den Lüfter, da ist was auf der Fischfutter-Platine nun im Argen.
Ganz schön scheiße für ehemals 2048€.

Thanks again to @disquiet for persuading me to dust off some dust collectors. "Choose a word and put it before “techno.” Those two words in combination are your new subgenre"
This jam was driven by an Arturia Beatstep Pro, clocking a Drum Brute Impact. Two synths were used: Juno-106 and a Moog Subsequent 25. The Sub 25 had a Line 6 delay inserted on it's channel and the mixer send effects ran though an Ocean's 12 reverb.

@synth_daddy_sqweebking sometimes accidents happen in the studio and they sound cool as hell. This mornings jam, when booted back up this evening, had some interesting sequencer channel crosstalk with a couple synths. The result is this funky bebop that normally would be a fleeting jam, impossible to reproduce after hitting record, caught by my daw on the first take. :success:

After nursing a headache for most of the day I finally got myself into the studio to record a jam for #Jamuary - A simple 3 track piece that I couldn't be bothered to go back and fix the arpeggio on, it is a "jam" after all.

Replaced the battery to keep the patches on the #juno106. Turned out to be easier than anticipated, some kind soul had already replaced the normal soldered on the board battery with a holder. So only needed to replace the battery.
