Roland Jupiter-6

Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction.
"This Roland Jupiter-6 is a vintage 6-voice analog polyphonic synthesizer, with a splitable keyboard, memory for 48 tones and 32 patches (two tones set up in a split combination). Each voice consists of two voltage controlled oscillators, a multimode filter (high- low- and band- pass), PWM, two ADSR envelopes (invertible), and LFO. The unit has a second LFO which is shared by all six voices. An arpeggiator is also included.

The multimode filter allows the Jupiter-6 to achieve a modularity for special sounds which its older brother, the Jupiter-8, cannot reach. The oscillators are Curtis based CEM3340 chips, having the ability to make multiple selection of waveforms. A basic MIDI implementation is included, usable in Omni mode."

"I am also including a set of mahogany side panels, made by CustomSynth UK. They look beautiful on the instrument, however the screw holes are not quite aligned with the holes on the synth. I have used these panels held with only 2 longer screws (included) and worked just fine."
