I have an MKS-50 and have been dithering whether to build a dedicated cs, or to use iControMIDI and an iPad. That would support several machines I have and some of my friends synths, but a real CS is fun…
Choices choices. But, it’s a great project nonetheless! Also, it looks like it won’t cost a lot.
arf, so sad you don’t do C. It is so easy to understand, and so portable.
I will, of course, implement a control surface, based on PG 300 design, with faders (e.g L1 L2 L3 L4), knobs (e.g T1 T2 T3 T4) buttons (e.g OSC waveform) and LEDs EDIT : i moved to iPad TouchOSC and a custom Arduino translator to get dynamic patch view
An original edit buffer will retain the original value and the modified one of each parameter and print it on a LCD Display. I already have that on my Matrix 1000 controller (C Code !)
A stuff very useful is to send double control messages : control change to the DAW in order to record & edit curves, and sysex to the synth. That’s why i coded the translator on the 106. –> EDIT : true and false, MIOS32 is faster than the Juno and CC curves from Logic make hear stepper ladder artifacts

Nice! And You got a lot of CPU-Power/Resources @ MIOS32!
I just love to do some (spare time) asm-coding. But You’re right - as far I got the Time - I got to explore the MIOS32 world.
And of course I will keep an eye on Your Roland Juno 106 and Alpha Juno 2 Sysex Translator Project!
well, i learned C code by reading the sources of other members on the forum and TK tutorials. I do not know ASM and find it to hard to understand without some courses
that project doesn’t require power/ressource as it is rather basic and MIOS is very well conceived. If i use MIOS32, it is because i got a spare STM32 and need 2 midi in/out.
yep. very good idea. aIalso though to very minimalistic schem on vero board : pics and crystals only. supply , octocoupler taken directly on the juno, the whole stuff being inside the Juno 106.
my project is on standby as i am currently focusing on OSC, Midi and Arduino. The idea is to use the iPad as a CS.
