Battery Eliminator for Juno 106 Installation – Synthchaser #185

 

In this video, I’ll show you how to install the Synthchaser Battery Eliminator for Juno 106, which replaces the original battery-dependent memory chip with nonvolatile memory so your presets are retained without a battery. The module comes preloaded with both banks of factory presets, supports saving your own custom patches, and eliminates the hassle of replacing the battery and losing your presets when the battery dies.

If you’re not comfortable doing this yourself, I offer mail in service to install this on your board.

In this video, I track down the fault, repair the damage, and return this classic ARP 2600 to proper working order.

The First Oberheim Electronics Product from 1974! – Synthchaser #182

The Oberheim DS-2 Digital Sequencer was the first product from Oberheim Electronics, introduced in 1974.

In this video, I take a look at this historically significant instrument, explain how it works, and demonstrate its capabilities. While many sequencers of the era were simple analog step sequencers, the DS-2 was a remarkably advanced digital system capable of recording and playing back sequences of up to 144 notes via CV/gate.
