Tubbutec Session #01 - Korg Minipops 7, Roland CR-78 and Roland SH-101

Tubbutec

"Three Tubbutec modified instruments in this video:

Minipops and CR-78 are both midi controlled via Tubbutec uniPulse. The interface allows velocity sensitive trigger of all instruments and clock sync.

The MiniPops Guiro can be pitch controlled, which is used to add a second melody line in some parts of the video.

The SH-101 is midi controlled using the Tubbutec SH-1oh1 CPU upgrade. Accent is controlled via midi, the additional filter envelope adds a smooth attack to the baseline.

Tubbutec/Roland Juno-66 Demonstration & Installation Tutorial

video upload by Vintage Synthesizer Solutions

"A demonstration of Tubbutec's fantastic Juno-66 mod. All sounds have been made using the Juno-6 with the Tubbutec mod and recorded without the use of effects (excluding drums made with the Cyclone Analogic TT-606)."

Tubbutec/Roland Juno 66 Upgrade: Complete Installation Tutorial + Demo Track~


"Please join us while we demonstrate the process of installing Tubbutec's fantastic Juno-66 mod into an absolutely gorgeous Roland Juno-6... while also trying to keep it as original as possible. We go through the entire job, step by step, so you can decide if this is a job you feel comfortable taking on yourself, or not (to be seriously considered). We are not affiliated with Tubbutec in any way, but we do install their kits quite often. They make fantastic mods for other synths as well and the website is absolutely worth checking out: www.tubbutec.de.

ALL of the background music and the demo track at the end is original content. It was made entirely from sounds we recorded from the Juno-6 post install (aside from the drums; there are no effects on the synth sounds!)! We also tried to include as many sounds as possible that demonstrate the additional functionality the mod offers, but back to the details...

Aside from adding midi in & out jacks, this mod adds some amazing additional play modes like two unison modes with detune. There's also 2 and 3 voice modes that stack oscillators, but still allow some polyphony. We feature these various play modes heavily in the sounds of the demo track. It also an incredible polyphonic portamento feature, way more ARP modes (sequenced too). If that wasn't enough to breath new life into your ability to get creative with your Juno, the mod also adds 2 additional filter LFOs, an additional (paraphonic) envelope dedicated to the filter, as well as filter, pitch bend, ARP, and portamento control via midi.

All of these additional features are easily accessed by easy to learn button press combinations. However, Stereoping does offer their controller which brings all these additional features to surface level. However, it must be reiterated that the additional features are really easy to access without having the dedicated programmer."

ROLAND JUNO 60 mit TUBBUTEC JUNO 66 MODIFICATION

via this auction

"the condition of the Juno 60 is just great.

-All the faders and knobs cleaned.
-All the keys working perfectly.
-All the voices are tuned to factory state
-Recapped power supply
-Chorus has super minimal noise !!! It is impossible to hear. Usually a problem with many Juno's that chorus is noisy. But in this machine, almost nothing you cannot hear !

As well as cosmetically, for its age, in great condition. Please refer to the photographs.

This Juno 60 comes with professionally installed Tubbutec Juno 66 modification.

While to installing the mod looks as easy as changing the CPU , it took almost 4-5 hours. (And costed me 200€ for the technic guy)
This modification turns Juno 60 into a very capable synthesiser.

It has MIDI IN & OUT ports

The great features of this modification are (there are lots of) ; Chord Memory, Plays modes, a step sequencer, detune, arpeggiator sync to midi and much more.
Please refer to Tubbutec website for more information

Apart from those, also Pitch Bend modification installed which was stated as "optional" on Tubbutec manual
This was a very difficult mod, because pitch bend had to be tuned. And its done professionally !

With this feature, you can control the pitch bend via midi using external keyboards, sequencers, DAW etc etc.

Here is your chance to win an amazing condition Juno 60 with Tubbutec 66 modification."

Tubbutec Introduces UniPulse Universal MIDI Interface for Vintage Drum Machines

Rhythm Ace FR-3 midi (Tubbutec UniPulse demo)

Published on Apr 5, 2016 tubbutec

"Ace Tone Rhythm Ace FR-3 midi triggered with full velocity control via Tubbutec UniPulse. UniPulse is an universal midi interface for drum machines."

"uniPulse – universal drum machine midi interface

Main features

Highly customizable, compatible to almost any drum machine
16 pulse outputs
Full velocity sensitivity
5 different pulse shapes
Outputs positive and/or negative pulses up to 12V/-12V
Voltage and length can be mapped to velocity, controller or CV-input
4 Digital outputs for gates and clocks
Up to 21 simultaneous clock outputs with different midi dividers
Analog output with various functions
Potentiometer / CV input to control length or voltage of pulses
Internal clock multiplier for DIN sync
Easy to use configuration app with preset database for common drum machines
Very small, fits in most drum machines
Various midi socket configurations
Runs off a single supply voltage between +15 and +25V, generates negative voltage internally

Some features in more detail

PULSE SHAPES
Various pulse shapes can be selected for each output: Rectangular, Triangular, Decay, Gaussian and Open Rect. The latter is similar to the rectangular pulse, with the exception, that instead of returning to zero volts, it goes into a high impedance state. This allows it to make use of the characteristics of an existing pulse shaping network, such as an RC network built into the drum machine.
The pulse shapes have different sonic characteristics, experimenting which suits best is recommended. The Gaussian pulse for example contains less higher harmonics and can be used to simulate drums hit by a felt headed mallet.pulseshapes

CLOCK AND SYNC GATES
The analogue output and the four digital outputs can be configured to act as sync clocks and gates. This allows it to sync the drum machine to the midi clock. Clock dividers and polarity are adjustable in order to achieve compatibility with all drum machines. Clocks speeds between 48PPQN (din-sync 48) and 1PPQN (one pulse per quarter note) are possible.
By using the 16 pulse outputs, the uniPulse can output up to 21 different clocks simultaneously.tempo-small

CONFIGURATION PROGRAM
The uniPulse configuration program, available for windows and OSX, uses midi sysex to configure the uniPulse. We are constantly working on expanding a database of presets for common drum machines.
For each channel, you can select pulse shapes, polarity, length, midi channels, note numbers and mappings. For sync outputs clock dividers can be chosen.

A velocity sensitive test button an be used to instantly listen and refine your configuration, and thus choose what sounds best for your particular drum machine and taste."
