Ju Control (JuCtrl)

By accident I got a Roland Alpha Juno.

The Juno1 User CS is very minimalistic (80s Style).

So I started the MIDIBox Juno Control (JuCtrl) Project.

 

MIDIBox Ju Control @ the dokuwiki:

Any other Juno User around here?

 

Great project!

I used to have one borrowed for a number of years, but the original owner wanted it back… it’s a really nice sounding synth.

Btw, would you mind uploading the PDF to the wiki that you link to from the wiki page? <broken record>Offsite docu bad</broken record>

done.

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.

This will be interesting for sure.

Weeee!

I got it too…Alpha Juno 1 = 80s gold

Very interesting project

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Great Great Project!!!

I got an Alpha Juno 2 several years ago.

Now it’s in the box, but this project it’s a very good reason to get it out of the box again.

I’ll be tuned.

Thanx

me want that :slight_smile:

Hello julienvoirin,

Nice - great Project (Roland Juno 106 and Alpha Juno 2 sysex translator)!

I got no mios32 HW yet. But it’s very interesting.

:slight_smile:

i will try to code it so that it can be adapted to Mios8

Hi Julien,

my code is pic/asm (not in MIOS8 C) - it’s another world I guess.

But I’m interested in Your CS/Future Plans!

Are You interested to implement a Controller CS to Your Project?

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 :slight_smile: 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 :blush:

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!

:slight_smile:

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 :confused:

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.

need 2 midi in/out.

With MIOS8/asm I will try to use a IIC MIDI Module [http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp_iic_midi.html] as a second MIDI Interface.

IIC MIDI Module

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.

The IIC MIDI module (Juno MIDI I/O port) is up and running.

Because of the Juno Patch Load/Store functionality I will exchange all POTs.

The MIDIbox Ju Ctrl will be stuffed with ENCs instead.

Any recommendations for ENCs and Control-knobs? (found no good knobs yet…)

Found The Nice Knobs Thread! :slight_smile:

Hi * Juno User,

after a lot of coding fun MIDIbox JuCtrl V1.000 is released now.
