Give your Alpha Juno-1 an ARP!

"Hi! This is a short video of me demonstrating the Roland Alpha Juno-1. Its being controlled with ARP MIDI data from the Yamaha Motif 6 synthesizer. A few days ago, I wanted an authentic ARP effect on my Alpha Juno-1, but since the Juno-1s only have chord memory instead of an arpeg function, I used to have to record note for note into my Yamaha QX-3 through step recording to get a simulated arp for the classic 80s sounding compositions. I found some arp settings on the Yamaha Motif 6 and MIDI'd those messages to Juno-1 using the Juno's own bass patches. So Juno-1/2 owners really can have the best of both worlds, there is chord memory when you need it, for techno or other things, or MIDI it up to a synth that does have an arp setting and MIDI and there you go, a Juno with a vintage synth arp function. Since the Motif 6 is a modern synth, it has a great variety of arp patterns to choose from too, you can choose some plain up & down sequence or some pretty complex ones. I'm sure this is not a new discovery or anything, but still it is so awesome to have the awesome patches of the Juno-1 arp'd! I also play a short little 80s song, that I made up just to show the arp effect and the Juno with some chords from the D-50 and a sparkly lead sound that I made on the JV-880 module. I tend to talk a lot too! Sorry! LOL

Please enjoy :)
