This little imposter came:
I want to compare it to the Arturia virtual version and see if they model the same. I think a dude I used to know still has my room mate’s real Jupiter 8 as well-if he’s still alive and has it and we ever get out of quarantine I might see if he’s up for a side-by-side-by-side comparison.
Max Hi Rez,
Around 2 or 3 years ago I bought some of these. Jury’s still debating about them. The things that should’ve never been put on them was those ribbon controllers and the constraint at 4 notes polyphony. I guess Roland wanted to put their energy in TR-8S and MC-707. However these look attractive to my eyes and with a USB power hub I can see myself having a good time creating loops to use in sampler.
-Fumu / Esopus
Yeah the ribbon implementation is weird. I can kind of see why they did it, given the built in speaker. It’s hard to imagine it ever sounding as big as the original given the small size as you noted. I guess we’ll see.
You want the Potting electronics thread.
My progress is very slow but you can see plenty of photographs on Potting electronics.
All these suppliers’ carts should have a “what the hell were you thinking” field you have to fill in before ordering.
and how many beers have had its 3 in the morning and are you sure you need this .
Three Quad VCAs???
did that already , don’t think I was panning 3 more …yet .
well ok this order [ the 3360 's ] was from jun. 7 as far as I can tell it is the second of a accidental double order I did . and I have other another order from aug. 1 still pending [ different ic’s ] which I forgot about and double ordered that to . so I will have some ic’s to work with for awhile if and when they show up . was looking to build some of https://www.eddybergman.com/ stuff
Like you’re going to have too many VCAs.
Pretty epic mail day:
never " to many " of anything synth related , just need more VCO’s etc. 
Oh no, but someone assured me that that is not possible!? Now it appears it is. What is happening to this world of ours?
Having a quick read through this and read ‘EdgyCyberman’ rather than EddyBergman haha XD
Got a couple goodies in the mail today:
The PCB for the cable tester via @analogoutput and some capacitors to finish up the VLPG. I’m still waiting on the multiplexer, but everything else is done.
Going to test the VLPG after dinner.
my SHBOBO SHNTH (ciat-lonbarde) arrived!!!
Here is the beautiful triangle wave/herringbone machine marks that peter’s CNC produces around the edges. (it was discussed on HAINBACH’s Single Malt Synthesis when Peter was a guest)
Gorgeous. I’ll recommend that single malt synthesis episode to everyone as well.
A synthesiser programmed in Lisp. Very tempting. And it’s a looker, too.
The Single Malt Synthesis episode is far too long for me at nearly four hours, I get bored watching unscripted talks. But for those interested here it is:
