- Here is a full demo on the Roland Jupiter 6 Polyphonic synthesizer. This unit belongs to Thane Evans, and it over-went a pretty major surgery to get it back to good health. History on the Jupiter 6:
Work done on this Jupiter 6:
-Main issues found were CPU locking up/causing intermittent failures when doing normal operations (moving sliders/random glitchy lights)
-Unit wouldn't accept the Cassette factory presets wav file upload, and would cause unit to crash/freeze.
-Battery Replacement + Socket
-Replaced Corrupt RAM chip (TC5517APL)
-Replaced heavily corroded/faulty Slide Potentiometers/Pots on both Panel boards. Unit feels great now and doesn't jump around the values causing lockups on the CPU.
-Replaced electrolytic capacitors that were out of spec/leaking on both voice boards. (x71 total throughout entire synth)
-Rebuilt Power Supply, hit cold solder joints on connectors and voltage regulators, through out entire synth
-Full Calibration to factory specs, tuning and D/A calibrations
-Upgraded Firmware to latest V6 firmware (previous firmware/eprom was V2)
-Burned 2732A Eprom and installed factory presets
-Hit cold/cracked solder joints throughout all connectors for better reliability in future
-Burned in unit for 48 hours, tested all functions-sounds great now!
wonderful the way you've brought this magnificent machine back to life!
Great demo
Love the JP6, great design, great panel layout. And so many features you miss on the Juno 106. The JP6 has a very distinct sound, being somehow cold but near at the same time. Blends very well with band instruments, without clouding everything up. Glad I own an MKS80, that can sound similar (but never identical, due to different circuitry).
