This is episode three in the Juno-106 restoration series. In this episode, I remove the voice board and replace the voice and filter chips with new aftermarket chips from Analogue Renaissance, along with the CPU. Then I remove the old, noise chorus BBD chips from the jack board and replace them with new, aftermarket chips. I also remove and replace the volume and portamento pots on the bender board, then clean and lubricate everything before reinstalling all the boards into the case and hooking everything up. But...we're not done yet!
Time is not kind to old synthesizers, and the Juno-106 is no exception. In this video series, I take an old Juno-106 and restore it to better-than-new condition, with new chips and hardware, and then add all kinds of new functionality to bring it into the 21st century - while retaining the important qualities that make a Juno-106 so special. Join me on this restoration journey.

I cannot get my Montage M ESP plugin to communicate with my Monage M7. It fails instantly, every time, with some very odd errors. Apparently, I'm not the only one experiencing this problem, and it's happening on both Windows and Mac computers.

I was given this 1985-era Korg Poly-800, as it was not working - and was going to be thrown away! In this video, I look at the synth, diagnose and fix the problems, restore it to full operation - and then make it better than ever, by installing the "Moog Slayer" mod, as well as a switchable 12/24db filter. I then demonstrate how the synth sounds with these mods installed!
Every sound you hear in this video came from the Poly-800 shown in this video.
This is not a tutorial on how to install these mods - there are plenty of online tutorials telling you how to do them, such as this one: http://synthmod.net/korg/moog_slayer/
Thanks so much to MissParker for the very generous gift of this Poly-800. It will be put to good use!

Trapped indoors forever
At least that's how I feel
No friends no parties no live music
I can't believe this is real
What happened to my old life?
Yesterday seems so near
Don't know what's happening day to day
Living now in fear
My life was going perfectly
Looking forward to each day
My work was so fulfilling
Now it's all gone away
The people I knew, the people I met
Filled me up from inside
I see my friends only on my phone
My social life, it's now died
Can't survive on social distancing
People of the world unite
Pretend I can hold your hand in mine
We’ll have a virtual party tonight
Shared experiences bring us together
Community is what we’re made of
Reach out to your fellow humans
Let's infect one another with love
Out for a walk, exquisite luxury
Saw my friend walking his dog
Crossed the street to try and keep away
Does he know my smile's a facade?
Keep your distance, don't get too close
Wash your hands, put on a mask
See your grandma for a special birthday
But only behind glass
Can't survive on social distancing
People of the world unite
Pretend I can hold your hand in mine
We’ll have a virtual party tonight
Shared experiences bring us together
Community is what we’re made of
Reach out to your fellow humans
Let's infect one another with love
Look at the bright side, everyone’s still well
We're surviving the best that we can
Keeping some sense of everyday normalcy
It’s been months since this all began
I plan for the party I know will occur
When Corona’s a faint memory
Together we're strong, we'll make it through
This will end eventually
Can't survive on social distancing
People of the world unite
Pretend I can hold your hand in mine
We’ll have a virtual party tonight
Shared experiences bring us together
Community is what we’re made of
Reach out to your fellow humans
Let's infect one another with love
