Roland Jupiter 6

“Well, I never thought I’d have to sell my JP-6, but I’ve got more bills to pay these days than I did when I bought this synth from a local studio 17 years ago. I’ve kept it in a smoke-free home. I’ve mostly been a bedroom producer, so it hasn’t really gotten any gigging.

About the condition: There are some cosmetic blemishes, but for its age I’d say it’s in very good shape. Most of it is paint blemishes. Electronically, the circuits are standing the test of time. It turns on and plays fine after it warms up. However, there are a couple quirks described below which occur right after turning it on.

The two higher octave Gs do not voice sometimes. Also, it could use a tune-up as it can drift over time, but the tuning knob can touch that up as it’s not significantly going out of tune. The sliders and pots could use a cleaning as some of them are scratchy. This is pretty easy to DIY, but again would be a part of a normal maintenance/tune-up. Everything on this synth is stock and has had no modifications.

It comes with the case, power cord and nothing else. I do have an old patch CD it came with and if I can find it, I’ll throw that in. The case is a heavy duty flight case and will be shipped in that with a bunch of foam/packaging to make it nice and secure.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
