The Juno 60 looks nice, but its more expensive now than the 106 and it has no portamento. I know the sound is very different from a Juno, but I was going to buy a Mopho Keyboard anyway and I've been really impressed w/ the sound of the Mopho/Tetra. I'm actually pretty close to just buying a Mopho Keyboard and hooking it up to a Tetra. The prices are just getting really silly. The Juno 106 has a voice problem, Polysix has a battery problem, Pro One has a membrane problem, and they are going for 1,200 bucks right now. It seems every analog I like has so many freakin problems. There is a guy who used to repair them in australia (he no longer does) who said that most of the failed chips can be repaired without buying a new one.Īnyway, all this talk about failing chips makes me feel like I dont even want one anymore. In fact, there is a specific component inside the chip that melts and fails. The covering doesn't allow the chips to 'breath' and they actually are like a warm blanket over them, causing them to over heat. I'd probably rather install the clone chips that one guy makes than do the acetone thing, i mean you're not really fixing anything with that, you're just hoping removing it effects it enough to make it work again for who knows how ems like eventually it'd die for good.if it works, it might be useful temporarily, it sounds like it does work some of the times, but i guess it depends how far gone the chip is.Well the idea behind removing the coating is that people have found the culprit in the chips dying is actually the covering on them.
