George Paul - I had to sort out a power issue on my old D-110 and worryingly had a few screws left over. I feel much better now after reading your comment. Thanks.
Thanks for this AWESOME VID! You inspired me in January to the amazing world of Hardware Synths. I just bought some broken Keyboards and am repairing them. I have an M-Audio Hammer 88 that I have fixed the USB B female input, I know its not much, however I have to start somewhere. now I have a keyboard! I am going to be making my own modular synth this year. Thanks again for your energy and excitement. Keep it up!
One thing I learned about the 106 recently is that if you run both outputs (stereo) it's actually outputting two mono signals until you turn the chorus on. Chorus = actual stereo.
Such a great synth. If I had been 3 yrs older I would have bought this one instead of the Juno 2 (almost identical sound but no sliders, still awesome too). I remember the first time I put it through my distortion pedal (Boss DS-1) and my band mates turned their heads in a collective WTF!? Good times.
I was fortunate enough to inherit a Juno 106 in my late twenties. Since then I've used it on every record we've released. It's really the secret sauce!
why would you. the analog renaissance started. You can even get the CEM3310,3320,3340 for under 10 usd. new, just from the factory. and start building your own fucking synth like they did back then. electricdruid.net/analog-renaissance/ See here what is already available and much will follow.
Yeah the acetone bath worked well for me, I had a voice scratching an poping randomly and in the first place I feared it was dead. Analogue renaissance chips look great, but I only found it on US website, and shipping to Europe + taxes made it quite expensive, so... Pretty happy with the acetone trick for now ;)
Why is plastic so hated? It never stains. never rusts. never degrades. Never erodes like wood. It's light weight. Some types are very strong. colors don't come out of it. It's cheap and it lasts almost for ever.
I remember back when I was a rave DJ back in the 90’s I took apart a turntable mixer because a small lump of hash got dropped and possibly went inside, not mine hence why I needed it gone.
The original battery was soldered on the PCB. Like in your's I replaced it by a battery holder in mine. This was the first synth I ever played. My dad bought it when it was new.
well it has a computer, as the 106 has storage. could be a z80/6800 whatever cheap they could get their hands on to put in in there to be used as microcontroller.
I had one of these for years after I traded in my original Juno 60 for it. I had the problem described in the video where one of the voices didn’t work. Nice to see the explanation. I never understood they hype for this synth. It was one of the least used in my collection.
..he has a slightly more love hate relationship with the Juno 106.. I also have a HS-60 (Juno 106 w/speakers) that needs new sound chips.. I took my Juno 106 apart years ago to try to bring a couple chips back to live but I need new ones hopefully I can use the HS-60 as a reference because it been 10 years since I started that project.. I just bought new synths instead of repairing it.. the Juno 106 can do some amazing things that I haven't been able to quite duplicate with Dave Smith Instruments, Behringer or Korg.. the LFO is excellent and I like flipping the envelope to make backwards acid sounds.. it's the strange blips and harsh LFO that this really excells at.. Behringer Deepmind and Behringer MS-1 have my interest now..
QUESTION TIME!!!!! sorry for caps... I have a usb Korg ms20 synth and i have never gotten it to make sound. does it require special software? please help me. any advice would be great. In other news your channel is amazing and I cant watch enough of it! thank you, DRTYTECH
I had a juno living in galway ireland for years. Then had to sell my stuff i also had a rm1x yamaha there proper nice, Roland 505, a roland 606 which i shipped them over back to hudds. That was in late 90s
Inspirational as always! Makes me want to drag out my old synth and tool about with it. Its got some missing sounds and quiet keys that I'd like to work properly. Maybe I'll be able to make it look as easy as you do... even though I can tell you toil with it... just like I would. Keep up the great work.
Hey - man - beautiful, all of it. Love your jams and tech. Tip; you don’t need to do this, but might want to... Black keys, just play them by themselves - instant good sounding pentatonic music. Then, go white keys, then black , then white again, instant tension, jazzy, funky music.
I've been thinking lately that it would be really fitting if you made a shirt that said don't be scared to try it, like in the same style as your logo (an maybe the logo somewhere on too? idk)
nice sounds! how about a teardown of a roland RV1080. ive been after one for a while for the orchestral sounds, apparently it was the source for a lot of sounds in the Edirol Orchestral VSTi. im toying with buying the roland cloud subscription so i can use them instead
I have an old Korg DW-6000 that need some work (Battery died so all patches are erased and the pitch/mod joystick broke free from it's mounting) I'd love to donate it to you but I've no idea how much it would cost me to ship from here in Wisconsin out to you. Let me know if you're interested and I'll see what I can do. Last I used it the tape backup/load feature still worked as well.
Just curious since you have a 106 and have the benefit of having played it. How does it stack up to newer digital synths you can get now for a fraction of the price?
16:12 - is it possible that this next little loop is a track we can download/buy perhaps? :D (Since I don't yet have anything to play on to reproduce it)
What would you like to see on REVERSE TEARDOWN next?
Oberheim OB-12, roland JX8p, my two sintetizers that i have
I actually want to seethe tear-down of 80s Moog like Polymoog or MemoryMoog

If you’ve got screws and washers left over, that just means you’ve assembled it better than Roland could.
cutting manufacturing costs in half!
George Paul - I had to sort out a power issue on my old D-110 and worryingly had a few screws left over. I feel much better now after reading your comment. Thanks.
Left Mono 👍
ha yeah happened to me too! 2 or 3 screws, and I checked...
So this is basically "The Reassembler", but it's hosted by a hyperactive pineapple, instead of a calm elderly man :D
Yea, and on caffeine and meth..
Hyperactive Pineapple ROFL love it, probably the most solid explanation of Sam's style I've ever come across
You need to take care of this amazing synth please
My heart skipped when it kinda tumbled over from the case
What about when he stomped on the keys with a size nine Doc Marten?
Yeah, maybe he forgot to take his anti-adhd medicine that morning lol
😅😅😅 loved your boot foot controller. Now that was one expression session.
Love it! Can I build you a sturdier desk?!
I really love sams positivity and charisma. I could watch him do anything.
Nice dutch army jacket! I got one of those too
Thats a great sounding synth Sam.and great entertainment as ever. catch you on the livestream later
cheeeerzzz markus!!!!! hows the wave twisterr!?
LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER Its all finished and video 2 uploaded. though it does not sound as good as i wanted, but hey its all about experimenting.
This guy is a real GOOD ARTIST! inspirational guy!
Everything you touch is getting amazing! Hahaha Much congrats from a young producer from germany. :)

Does anybody thinks that he needs to make a collaboration with Simone Giertz?
that would be good wooulldddnnt it!
Make IT happen

Just bought a Juno 106 that needs some TLC and this is exactly the video I need 👍👍
Can you please do more build guide on DIY modules
filter module coming next week!
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER nice
13:50 WHAAAAAAAT ! LOVELY CHORUS AND PHASER !!
Man just listening to you on the Juno jamming would make a good video.
one of his crazily best jam
10:17 ah the classic electronics repairman orgasm moment

Dude you’re living my dream! Just found your channel and I love it! I’m so happy to have found somebody into the same weird sh*t as I am! :)
As a Blade Runner fan it would be the CS-80 but I'd hate to think how much one costs now.
Despite all that modular DIY behemoth it's the 70s and 80s kit that gets the real love.
Your chords are out of this world!
mad cap
oh my I thought shit cant be topped when you took apart Linndrum but where we are
plenty more where that came from!
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER I'll cry if you tear apart some coveted and possibly rare ones like Jupiter 8 or Polymoog or something
"Like I said, there's gonna be some screws and washers left over." Man, here in the states, spare parts means you built it better! :P
The voice chips can often be fixed if you remove the outside plastic...its a bit tricky but soak them in acetone, plastic comes off easy.
why would you. the analog renaissance started. You can even get the CEM3310,3320,3340 for under 10 usd. new, just from the factory. and start building your own fucking synth like they did back then.

The chopper from the seventis made me chuckle to myself for some reason.
Nice mate.
that's one way to put it, i'm not gay but maybe he's attractive to you

Sam probably became the repair everything man, because he's also the break everything man
Damn, great action-packed vid 😎
I remember back when I was a rave DJ back in the 90’s I took apart a turntable mixer because a small lump of hash got dropped and possibly went inside, not mine hence why I needed it gone.
00:13 Yeah, I played THAT back 100 times! and s**t is right! That is a good way to bash in the pitch bender.
Absolute epic video! Juno is an eargasm!! I just watched this video 3 times xD Thank you for the premium content!! :D
8:47 That has to be one of my favourite lines ever. Describes my life perfectly
6:12 I would expect everything going through your hands goes "kaput" at some point (not to say rapidly)
I fucking love your videos!!
Shout outs from Sweden!!!

I love your channel thanks for making such fun videos

well it has a computer, as the 106 has storage. could be a z80/6800 whatever cheap they could get their hands on to put in in there to be used as microcontroller.
What a nice piece of nostalgia right there. Such a fat and wonderful sound too

I like the low end.
Lovely!
Six Synths in a Sentence. Splendid
Great Energy here!! Numbering each connection = Genius!!! Have to do this to my Juno 6 - Easy w/shoes on the keys!!!!
THE BEST!!
Quick tip so your right wrist doesn’t burn out putting all those screws in. Use your left hand. Less muscles used. Crazy
bruhh you the man

Awesome experiment I just tore down my Minilogue. Love the channel.
I would be too scared to permanently fuck it up
@@papi1050 I thought I broke it, was the best part honestly lol, but watching this channel is awesome. I want to try and build the oscillator next.
I love your videos and the way you explain things
Always wondered what the inside of my 106 looks like. Cheers bruv

From 1984... and I've been with it on tour... made to a beat 4 oN floor.... and I think it was made for a score¿?🎹🎧🎥🙊🙉🙈😲💫😵👌👍😎✌
"in the '80s everything started going downhill" - Yeap, start of this vid says it all :)

The UV light has turned the blue buttons on mine a sickly shade of green.
does anyone know if with the kiwi 106 you must change the front panel ?
No it comes with an overlay sticker
Perhaps that CS-80 you were playing around with in another clip. I would love to see the innards of that!
Very love this crazy chanal
Lovely jam at the end! 🤩
Playing the hell out of that board so casually
i wish i had all that gear. id just live in it every day
This is one of the best arguments for Ritalin.
what kind of pedals you use with your synth ???
I've been thinking lately that it would be really fitting if you made a shirt that said don't be scared to try it, like in the same style as your logo (an maybe the logo somewhere on too? idk)
Excellent work mate.
My 106 only has 4.5 voices at the moment - I hope those replacement chips are still around.
They definitely are. Bout $35 a pop
@@JEPeters00 i know a belium guy who makes replacement vcf and vco chips www.analoguerenaissance.com/D80017/
as mentioned in syntaur juno 107 youtube video
Ok Lester doc muzika todo invierte tones and secuencial..
I remember when electronics were made of wood and metal, good times.
Geez you're a fuckin' artist. Much love
I cant. Get any sounds in my juno 106 unfortunatly
Can you take apart a triumph oscillograph please??? I cannot even figure out how to take off the darn knobs...
nice sounds! how about a teardown of a roland RV1080. ive been after one for a while for the orchestral sounds, apparently it was the source for a lot of sounds in the Edirol Orchestral VSTi. im toying with buying the roland cloud subscription so i can use them instead
good job as usual mate. cheers
where would I get a broken Juno-106? I tried eBay and they are all working :(
If Sam, for whatever reason, did an impression of Luther from The Warriors, I don't think my mind could take it.
I have an old Korg DW-6000 that need some work (Battery died so all patches are erased and the pitch/mod joystick broke free from it's mounting) I'd love to donate it to you but I've no idea how much it would cost me to ship from here in Wisconsin out to you. Let me know if you're interested and I'll see what I can do. Last I used it the tape backup/load feature still worked as well.
I'm closer then that! Much closer :)
Sam you're crazy lad! Keep up!
If you could save for the following Yamaha CS10, Korg DW 80/DW8000, Jupiter 8, or Model D?.... or would you get the Moog One instead????
Just curious since you have a 106 and have the benefit of having played it. How does it stack up to newer digital synths you can get now for a fraction of the price?
ayo did you steal the teachers chair lmao, great video though haha
What pedals are those? I see the BlueSky but what are the others?
Really informative video, nice one. But please! No boots on this classic! For how careful I am with my Juno, this was a bit unnerving...
Can u go in a bit depth on the external hardwares that you're using ?
song at the end is rad dude
16:12 - is it possible that this next little loop is a track we can download/buy perhaps? :D (Since I don't yet have anything to play on to reproduce it)
The first analogue polysynth I ever played.
You're my spirit animal.
8:42 I just checked it. You get a Sequential Prophet 6 with a case for that money.
Hey there! Loved the video, I'm curious, what are all the pedals you plugged into it?
Nice video keep it up!!!👍👍👍👍
