Retrofit and DCB Port Kits for:

Roland Juno-6

PLEASE NOTE: Fitting a these kits is a skilled job which should be undertaken only by a competent synth service engineer or fitted by us at our premises in South London.

Retrofit Upgrade Kit

• 
  

• This retrofit kit for the Roland Juno-6 adds the following MIDI control:

  For incoming MIDI:
  Any MIDI channel can be selected
  Notes (MIDI note numbers 36 - 96) - transpose possible
  Pitchbend - (bends up and down a fifth)
  Mod Wheel
  Filter cutoff frequency (of low pass filter)
  Volume
  Sustain (decay on-off)
  Arpeggio clock synced to MIDI clock

  By default:
  pitchbend is controlled by pitchbend messages
  mod wheel is controlled by Mod Wheel (CC#1) and also by Aftertouch messages
  filter cutoff is controlled by CC#16
  Volume is controlled by MIDI volume (CC#7)
  Sustain is controlled by Sustain (CC#64)

  however, any controller or aftertouch or velocity can be mapped to control other things so for example velocity could be mapped to control volume.

  For outgoing MIDI:
  Any MIDI channel can be selected
  Notes (MIDI note numbers 36 - 96) - transpose possible
  Program changes 1 to 61 can be sent using a button press followed by a key press
  No other MIDI can be sent - the retrofit is primarily intended to allow the synth to be played from a MIDI master keyboard or sequencer.

  Hardware:
  MIDI In, Out & Thru sockets
  Push button (for programming the MIDI setup)
  Setups are stored in non-volatile memory (Eeprom)

  The kit comprises the following items:
  Circuit board - fits in the base of the Juno-6
  Small pack - contains DIN sockets and mounting hardware
  Large pack - contains cable assemblies
  User instructions - How to change from default settings and general instructions
  Fitting instructions - step by step fitting guide plus diagrams of where to connect what

  All kits are fully checked and tested before despatch
  

  Note: Our retrofit kits are not intended for installation by the end user.
  They should always be fitted by an experienced synth engineer.

DCB Port Kit

• 

  This kit adds a DCB port to the Juno-6, similar to that found on a Juno-60, to enable it to be used with a Pro-DCB or the DCB port of a Pro-4, or the optional DCB add-on port for the Pro-2000.
  
  The port is bi-directional for note on/off information. This is all the information that the DCB port on the Junos can process. (DCB can also handle program change, but this is not implemented on the Juno-6).

  The kit contains a circuit board and all necessary components and diagrams for connecting the kit, and mounting the 14 pin IEEE DCB socket.

  Although not carried in the DCB cable, it is also possible to Clock the Arpeggiator and Control the Filter cutoff frequency of the low pass filter using the 6.35mm (1/4") jack inputs which are already fitted on the Juno.

  Note: A DCB cable is not included, as this is supplied with the Pro-DCB or optional DCB add-on port for the Pro-2000 (although not with a Pro-4).

  See the specifications of the Pro-DCB MkII for further features.
