I think there is a way but I don't have one in front of me to try at the moment. In Program mode the clock/arp/seq features are per-program, meaning that can only affect the program parameters and not external gear. You might try Mix mode as there are more per-channel midi send/receive parameters. A...

+1 Juno-106. Over-rated?: maybe. Over-priced for the sheer volume produced?: the voice chip reviving process can account for some of that cost. I've flipped at least 4 of them and thought each time I didn't need this simple 1-osc per voice synth. But there is something about the sound that brought m...

You haven't said what you have tried yet so first make absolutely sure it's not user error: voice levels are turned up, attack turned down, instrument switches pushed in, etc. However, the Omni is notorious for reliability issues. If no experience troubleshooting electronics, the Omni isn't a good p...

Very nice work. I have often dreamed of such a unison detune feature for the Juno-106 as I no longer have a Polysix.

You should be able to find ground by using a multimeter to make a continuity check between the the power input jack and one of the video jacks. Anything that isn't ground-to-ground shouldn't provide continuity beeps.

I always thought the reason was saving expense. Sure the holders are cheap to buy one-a-time for you and me, but for a manufacturer the idea of buying in bulk just adds another 'unnecessary' expense to production costs.

I've owned DX-7, MS-2000, and micron. Micron has same engine as Ion AFAIK. Sold them all but now have a pair of TX81Zs midi-chained for 16-note polyphony and to save space since I didn't need another set of keys. And they are dirt cheap as a synth that is far underrated. Programming FM is not for th...

On topic of a center-tap pot, I modded a stock pot last year for a Roland D-50. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NAJCEBd7SCw/T5n8FleuOjI/AAAAAAAAAC4/e9TSjWKFz70/s200/DSCN0435.JPG I documented all in my blog . It was a PITA, but worked. In retrospect I would have opted for a replacement but wasn't looking i...

There still seems to be a demand for Roland JP-8000 / 8080 and Oberheim OB-12. They're not fetching silly money or more than they cost new, but those synths always sell. These two synths came to mind immediately. Add the Novation supernovas/bass-station and MS-2000. It's interesting the Prophecy st...

Another scenario might be the required calibrations were not performed after the fixes were made.

This may not be necessary if each synth is set to a different midi channel. But a patchbay does make things clearer/easier. I'm using an M-Audio 3x8 midi box that has switches that allow me to quickly switch midi paths. Not sure if things like this are still being made.

This takes me back to the days I used to scan record shops for prog. house vinyl. If I auditioned this in the store it would be an automatic purchase. No trouble working this into a longer dj set. Long mix is what you want in this area. Thanks for posting.

For recording I use an old PC with winXP. Cubase SX3 provides master clock, sequencing, recording. I have procured an MC-50 mkII that perhaps would run master clock and backing tracks should the day come I play out. It uses floppy disks, ya gotta love that.

For the extremely modest price I don't think there's any hardware synths that come close to the modulation capabilities, 3-oscillators, and on-board effects imho.

I used to think as you do mixing everything to stereo in one shot. It's straightforward and convenient. But it's a destructive process, meaning you can never go back and revise what has been done and have to start over. Anyway, I too used to use a 3630 during those times. This compressor is a genera...
