How to connect
Just connect the MIDI output of the controller to your Juno-66. Adapters form TRS-A to DIN-MIDI are included with the controller.
Additionally, you can connect other MIDI devices to the controller via the MIDI input or via USB. MIDI messages coming into the controller are forwarded to the Juno-66.
It is also possible to use the controller for other purposes, such as controlling VST plugins. In order to do that, just connect it to your computer via MIDI, or via USB-MIDI.
Sending the current state
You might want to send the current position of the sliders and buttons to your Juno-66 to synchronise them. In order to do so, press the ‘SEND ALL’ button for about 2 seconds.
Configuration menu
By pressing the ‘CONF’ button, you enter the configuration menu. Here, you can adjust the MIDI channel and LED colors. Press ‘CONF’ again to exit the configuration menu.
Change the MIDI channel
While in the configuration menu, use the ‘S/H LFO SOURCE’ button to cycle through the 16 MIDI channels. The channel is indicated in binary by the LEDs above the SRC button.
Channels 1-8 are shown in blue, channels 9-16 are shown in red.
Change the LED colors
To change the LED colors:
- Press the INV Button
- Use these faders to change the color: VCF SUS, VCF REL, ACC DEC
- Press INV again to use this color
Reset to default
In order to reset the configuration to default, press the CONF button for about 2 seconds while in the config menu.
FAQ
Q: Given that the synthesisers all use DIN MIDI sockets, why did you design the controllers with TRS sockets and include adapters to DIN MIDI?
A: This was a hard decision – we prefer DIN MIDI ourselves. However, using DIN sockets would have meant a substantial increase in the case dimensions – both in width and height. We believe that the solution we have now is much more elegant and flexible.
