Roland Juno-106 Service Manual

It's   been   a   long   two   years   to   keep   things   quiet,   but   it's   time   for   Kiwitechnics   and   Psicraft   Designs   to   let   everyone   in   on   the   big   big   secret:   Kiwi-106 is now shipping! Guided   by   such   gear   luminaries   as   Dave   Lovelace   (the   creator/author   of   Keyboard   magazine's   Packrat   comic)   and   the   YouTube   channel   Juno-106 expert   Syntegrator,   Kiwitechnics   and   Psicraft   have   brought   this   beloved   synth   classic   out   of   the   80s   and   put   it   where   it   belongs:   The   heart   of your 21st century studio. An   expanded   synthesis   architecture   with   dual   envelopes   and   multi-waveform   LFOs      is   only   the   tip   of   the   creative   possibilities   that   any   Juno-106 can   now   possess.   Comprehensive   routing   of   controls,   high   resolution   parameters,   and   eight   groups   of   64   patches   expand   the   Juno-106's synthesis   capability   many   times   over,   but   we're   not   done   yet.   Add   in   a   six   voice   polyphonic   124   step   sequencer   and   a   pattern   generator   to   the mix   and   Juno-106   becomes   a   new   class   of   instrument.   Now   design   and   implement   a   totally   modern   MIDI   implementation   suited   for   modern stage   and   studios   and   provide   a   free   Vyzex   professional   instrument   Windows   editor/librarian   along   with   the   price   of   admission   and   what   do   you have? Modern Brains and Vintage Brawn, baby. The Kiwi-106!
