Roland Juno-60 can also succumb to a dead voice?

According to the guy selling this Juno at this auction

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... :IT&ih=019

I've never heard of a 60 losing the 6th voice, but I asked him if every 6th key didn't sound and it seems that is the case. Anyone else have a similar experience?

Why not? Every polyphonic synth has the potential of voice failure or any chip failure for that matter. The difference is that the 106 is particularly prone to voice failure. I’d still go with a 60, you don’t see a lot of auctions where a 60 has a voice problem. I swear 3 out 4 106 auctions have a voice problem.

Different architecture to the 106 though, so it won't be the usual "voice chip" problem. There's a way to cycle through the 60's voices, but I lost the link and can't recall the details...

Sure it can happen, although not as often as with the 106 obviously. Unfortunately any poly synth can lose voices, some are just more likely to than others.

I'll just drop by and say that my 106 never lost a single voice. I've sold it, and it still has its voices. Just to bring something positive into this

Works like a charm!

I'd like to say the same, but prefer not to jinx myself

Yeah, the last time I started bragging on my 106, I lost a voice a few weeks later.

Exactly. Nothing lasts forever, and we both know hearts can change.

You can cycle through the voices in pretty much the same way you boot in unison mode.
