this appearantly is the alpha juno's service-mode, where you normally would tune/trim the oscillators, etc. maybe you're already aware of this - but it's not made for playing or making soundpatches.

@jeanfatale no wasnt aware of this, so can you tune or trim the oscillators in this mode or what? that might be interesting! obviously it wasnt made for playing or making patches, will it hurt the synth if i do so anyway?

Thank you for making this video. I've owned an Alphajuno since 2002 and have never seen this feature before. thanks!

[brightstarlit]

@youarelackluster youre welcome :)

@brightstarlit I guess you wouldn't do much damage to the synth, more than maybe accidently change something or do some kind of factory reset. that stuff - but then again, I don't really know.

@brightstarlit I haven't tried tuning the oscillators, but i used it for testing the voices some days ago. one point is you can go thru the six oscillators with the display telling you which one you are currently playing (it will count from 1-6 and change oscillator each time you press a key). I haven't really checked to see if you can tune individual oscillators easily in this mode. just checked all six of mine were in tune (440.05 herz makes an A on mine, don't know if that's worth tuning)
