Roland Juno-6 Polyphonic Synthesizer w/ JU6-KBD Midi Kit

I am selling my beloved Roland Juno 6, but being a parent I hardly have time to play with it anymore, so I hope someone else will enjoy it as much as I did.

First of all - you are buying a 41 year old synthesizer. It still works and sounds beautiful, but it has its quirks and most of all: it needs some tender love and care.

I don't know how the former owners treated the synth, but the last 14 years it only has been used clean and smoke-free studio or residentual environments.

It is equipped with a CHD Elektroservis JU6-KBD Midi Kit, so you can sequence it with your midi sequencer. The hole I drilled for the midi jack is not the prettiest. But it works.

I only used it for basic midi note sequencing. I never tried the other functions like sys-ex or whatsoever.

I am not responsible if this was implemented properly by the programmerers.

I cleaned it from four centuries of dust in September 2023.

The following problems are known:

OSC/Waveform buttons are quirky - meaning you have to gently tip/push them to turn them on and off. Sometimes twice.
 The ARP button has the same behavior. But in most times they work fine.

The Volume knob is super scratchy: Set and forget - otherwise you have to replace it.

When I checked the unit, the sustain slider was a bit noisy. Maybe it needs to be used more often or replaced.

In general - to be on the safe side - on all sliders noise might occur, but it helps to move the sliders up-down a few times.

A little hiss is audible when no sound is played. A noise-gate helps and it is way quieter than the noise-floor of the chorus, which is pretty noisy for 2024 standards.

Luckily parts are still available. But apart from being a bit quirky, you can still have a lot of fun with the synth or refurbish it first. I personally prefer the unit over modern poly synths, but the Juno unfortunately is a bit tricky to bring with me working on different locations.

Other cosmetic damages: (View photos!)

One key has damage that is not visible from above. It does not affect the key in any case.

There is a dent on the top right. A pedal fell there once...

Other minor marks and scratches are present. Check the pictures!

The wooden sides also have marks and scratches.

Please be aware that this is an old-timer and other problems may appear over time.
 I will check the unit before packing it safely and will inform you if anything has changed. Most of the listed issues have been present when I purchased the synth back in the days. (It was sold to me ”in good condition” and I did not really bother and just enjoyed making music)

Feel free to contact me with any further questions.

This is a private sale - no warranty or returns are possible.

I did my best to make you aware about the condition of the unit.

Pickup in Berlin preferred! Shipping is possible inside EU and to UK.
