ROLAND JUNO-60 MD-8 MIDI/DCB Converter and JSQ-60

"The Juno-60 is a six-voice polyphonic synthesizer that is coveted for its fat analog filter. Many musicians say the Juno-60 is fatter than a 106. I totally agree. The basses have an unmistakable boom and punch that have to be heard to be appreciated. The organs have that retro sound that sets any track apart and the pads and strings are nothing short of spectacular with an organic thickness that breathes thru your speakers. And don't forget the legendary Roland Chorus. This setup will inspire and catapult your Electronica/ Ambient/ Techno/ Hip Hop/ Experimental compositions to a whole new level. Be prepared to be transported to another dimension!

Because the Juno-60 is not midi-equipped it is hard to incorporate into a studio environment. Enter the Roland MD-8 Midi-To-CV Converter. You can now trigger the Juno-60 from your midi controller or whatever sequencing program you use. You can go midi to DCB or DCB to midi - and you designate which midi channel as well! You can also use it to interface with a DCB equipped Jupiter-8. This MD-8 works perfectly.

The JSQ-60 sequencer is a blast to use and is a must for the true collector. You can enter notes in step or real-time. It is a perfect tool to complete your Juno-60 setup. Its ideal for sketching your creations - and its old-school vibe just has a "feel" to it. There are also two sync outs on the back to interface with a TB-303, TR-808,909, 606, CR-8000, or anything else with (DIN) Sync. The sequencer comes with its own DCB cable...and you get the original factory manual for it."
