Kenton MIDI retrofit kit

 

You can have the Juno-6 fitted with a Kenton MIDI retrofit kit. This offers the most comprehensive level of control.
Most of the features of the Kenton MIDI retrofit kit are aimed at controlling the Juno using MIDI.

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 - variable ratio allowing 1/4 1/8 & 1/16th notes as well as triplets.

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

Please see the retrofit info pages for more details about the retrofit kit.

DCB port

 

You can control the Juno-6 externally if you fit your Juno with a DCB port.

Click this link for the Kenton DCB port addition for the Juno-6

Once your Juno has a DCB port, the following options are open to you

Use a Pro-DCB mk3 (Juno-6 requires DCB port fitted)

  You can use a Pro-DCB mk3 (Juno-6 requires DCB port fitted - see above)
DCB control does not offer quite as much control as the retrofit kit, it is in fact notes only as far as the DCB port itself is concerned. In addition, there is a VCF input on the Juno-6 which allows you to control the filter cutoff frequency. Link this to the Pro-DCB auxiliary output using a 3.5mm to 6.35mm jack cable to control the filter cutoff point. You can also modulate the filter using the MIDI-syncable LFO built into the Pro-DCB mk3, using the mod wheel. In addition, you can also link the clock input of the Juno-6 to the Clock output of the Pro-DCB mk3 again using a 3.5mm to 6.35mm jack cable. This will allow you to clock the arpeggiator in time with MIDI clock. You can vary the relationship between MIDI clock and the clock pulse going to the Juno-6 allowing you to clock 1/4 1/8 & 1/16th notes as well as triplets.

Pro-2000 (mk1 or mk2)

 

If you already have a Pro-2000 (mk1 or mk2), then you need only a the DCB port option added to your Pro-2000 (Juno-6 requires DCB port fitted - see above). Note that the DCB port for the Pro-2000 is OUT only, in other words you can play the synth using MIDI, but not the other way around.

You already have a Pro-4

 

If you already have a Pro-4, then you need only cables (Juno-6 requires DCB port fitted - see above). The Pro-4 came equipped with a DCB port as standard (out only).

Clock the arpeggiator

 

If you don't need to play the notes using MIDI, you can clock the arpeggiator using the Pro-SOLO mkII or a Pro-2000 or even a Pro-KADI, as they all have clock outputs. Again you will need a 3.5mm to 6.35mm jack cable.
