Actually, it doesn't have SSM VCO's upon closer inspection afterall.

They are discrete. I can't see quite what they are made up of, though they
have a Q81 on top of a TO-5 packaged IC (726?)

The VCF and LFO and ENV's ARE SSM though.

I have schemos, board layouts, panel layouts, source code- the works!

It has a 4 foot tall, card cage next to it (most people don't know of this)
and inside are all the voice boards, CPU and demux and power supplies
(linears). The boards are about 1 1/2 feet square!
This one only has eight voices too, not sixteen. I think Peter Baumann got
the other 8.

I'll be delving into it soon, but I want to make sure all the power
supplies are fine first. It hasn't been powered up for over 10 years!

It's actually kinda funny, because for the life of me I can't see how this
thing is any better than a Jupiter-8.



I'm finally done programming my web page (well... done for now!).

It will go up very soon and I will announce the URL once I know it myself.

LOTSA pics of synths, rare beasts (Audity too), modulars. Old price lists,
patch charts, schematics, Roland service bulletins (rare!), links, front
panels, brochures, etc.
