I think it also does blippy gritty basses pretty well. Like a meaner DX100. Or my other favorite trick is to max the attack on the filter with a high reso and

The Jupiter-6 will self oscillate, the Jupiter-8 will not. The two boards have TOTALLY different filter sections. The 8 has a separate high pass and low pass

I m not so sure I agree with the cheap plastic construction opinion of the Poly-800. Mine is at least 20 years old, and it s in near-perfect condition with

Im not sure if the Jupiters can self oscillate. Most info says yes, some users say no. Just out of curiosity, does anyone know for sure? Even though Jupiters

The 81C55 (IC25) provides 8 data lines to a resistor network. This is the basic 8 bit D to A converter. The signal is buffered by op amp TL062 (IC36) and is
