Two-Way Wireless Control Editing of the Roland Juno-2 via iPad

YouTube Published on Jun 25, 2012 by BIM0X

"Demo of a custom device build around Arduino in order to control the Roland Alpha Juno 2 via Wifi.

The Arduino connects the Juno2 to the Wifi network of the iPad via an Airport router, an Arduino Ethernet shield and a midi shield.

I used Touch OSC to design the controller.
Touch OSC sends OSC messages (e.g /jun/DCO_Range 2.000) which are translated by the Arduino into Midi SysEx messages.

But the Arduino also translates Midi sysex messages from the Juno 2 into OSC messages (sort of loopback) so that when you change the patch on the Juno2, faders automatically move to the right position !

The code and detailled instructions will soon be published on http://4colors.free.fr
The control design mimics Roland PG300, but better !"

"So,these are not made anymore and this is from one of the last batches produced... As you may/may not know these are kits,so although all the parts are included,you do have to build it yourself..which will of course require you to be a bit handy with a soldering iron..."

Harvestman Double Andore

"The Double Andore is a pretty crazy module, like all Harvestman gear. A dual attack/release, attack/sustain/release, looping function generator with combined VCAs and plenty of cross-modulation possibilities. And those attack/release curves are digitally generated, set independently of each other and can be set as either linear or exponential. Those VCA's distort your signal to boiling filth levels really easily, while still giving you plenty of "nice, well behaved" sounds too. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it! Anyway, yeah, it's really good, but it doesn't entirely fit with my style so hopefully it can go to someone who will appreciate it's charms."

via the seller: "I added a LP-HP blending pot for VCF 2 and additional VCF-routing options. I changed the original boring poti-caps into more exciting ones. The front panel was painted with clear coat to make it more “shiny”. At all I think it’s in a good condition for it’s age and brings alive it’s very unique analog sound."
