DCB cover panel – solutions

The DCB cover panel for the Juno-66 was designed to fit the Juno-60 here in the Tubbutec headquarters.
As it turns out there are however either two different versions of the Juno-60 (with respect to the panel mounting).
While our Juno-60 uses self-cutting screws to mount the panel, one customer reported that his Juno-60 uses machine screws.
There are multiple possibilities to use our panel – which was designed to work with self-cutting screws.

  1. Cut a thread. This is by far the cleanest solution. By using a die for M3 screws, cut a thread in the two holes on the sides of the Tubbutec DCB panel. The holes are large enough and no additional drilling is needed beforehand.
  2. instead of cutting a thread use a 3.5 mm drill to enlarge the two holes, then use the original Juno-60 screws in combination with 3mm nuts to mount the panel.
  3. Use black self-cutting screws instead of the original ones.

We apologize for the inconvenience. From now on the panels will ship with a thread so it will work with both, machine screws and self-cutting ones.

Modysix version 1.4

From now on Modysix is being shipped with firmware version 1.4 with these new features:

  • Full support for Korg Mono/Poly including all Modysix features and a 2-Voice mode.
  • Built in triangular LFO for the filter with a frequency range from 0.12 Hz to about 8kHz. Apart from having a separate modulation source, this makes it possible to achieve a vocal like effect due to the high frequency filter modulation. Amount and frequency can be adjusted over midi.
  • Separate clock divider for Sample and Hold LFO and Arpeggiator.
  • New improved config menu
  • Midi outs can be switched off separately and Midi in can be set to omni.
  • Retrigger is switchable for Unison, Chord and Polychord.
  • New improved config menu for easier editing
  • Pitch bend support with calibration
  • Autolegato mode for Powerarp
  • Faster Polychord entry
  • Power arp supports notes, breaks and ties

If you have an old firmware, you can update it using the Modysix Updater Tool (Availible for download soon).

There is a new manual for firmware version 1.4

Due to the new Mono/Poly support I will rename the Modysix to ModyPoly. There will however be still firmware updates and support for the Modysix.

Modysix and Polysex in Synthmag

The current issue of SynthMag features an article about the Tubbutec Polysex and Modysix mods for the Korg Polysix.
I did not have the opportunity to read the article myself yet, but I am sure it is a fun to read but honest review. So if you need a second opinion maybe this is the place to look.

You can get the magazine in a Kiosk or at their shop (also as PDF).
