I highly recommend anyone with some electronics assembly knowledge and a love of synths to pick up one of these TSynth kits if you can. I was an early purchaser/builder of the Teensy 3.6 model and it is an amazing little synth! It has some of the depth and power found only in real analog synths. The bass capabilities of this little beast are awesome. Well worth the price and time to build it.

The kit comes as some partly assembled PCBs (a few parts already soldered on) but you need to supply about $100 worth of components yourself which includes the Teensy 4.1, the Teensy Audio Shield and about 30 potentiometers and other passive parts. You can try to buy one on Tindie.com but be warned there is a back order list ten miles long and kit supplies are limited and sell fast. There are a few international resellers that may have stock, but you'll have to check ElectroTechnique's web site to get the latest information on available and features.If you can manage to score one for yourself, you won't be disappointed! This is an amazing synth with lots of versatility and open source software so you can make it do what you want.

I posted a Juno synth article on how its oscillators work in /s/Electronics since there was no synth sub on Poal. After it did well and I got to chatting with some folks on the subject, I figured it was time to create a synth sub here and see who joins in.

You should definitely pull you Junos out of storage and give them a good looking over to make sure they are still functional. Too many great vintage synths are dying from neglect and the ravages of time. I'd hate to see more Juno synths perish when a little attention could extend their life. Junos have held the market value very well so you may just be sitting on some valuable bit of gear there. Lots of people would kill to get their hands on a Juno synth.

That's what it was!

Oh they are. They're packed good. I do need to bring stuff up to the house. I tend to use my Genos, Tyros and old cheap Casio for everything these days.

Glad to hear that! Fortunately the Juno series is one of the more repairable lines of synths since the OEM voice modules were recreated with modern parts and are reasonably priced. All the old analog synths with Curtis or SSM chips in them aren't so lucky though. Those chips naturally degrade over time even if they are new-old stock. I do a fair amount of synth repair and restoration if I can find a something I like that is broken for sale for a reasonable price. That's getting more rare though as vintage synths have become very desirable these days.

I've had slider issues in one years ago. That was fun.
