This is the Best mod availabe for the juno 6 or 60…Its possible to sync to midi, that alone is great but additional Features such as 2nd enevelope for the Filter, voice detune, a nice sequencer and and and…well done. This is a must have for your juno.

The Juno-66 upgrade is much more than just a mod or a midi retrofit, it catapults the classic polysynth into the 21st century, while preserving the original look and sound of the instrument perfectly.
I cannot believe how many features have been crammed into the Juno’s interface, it’s a triumph of design.
I’m writing this review 8 months on from installing the 66, and I’m still discovering new sounds and configurations.
Synchronize a powerarp sequence with the sample and hold LFO – wow!…then stack two oscillators…then sync some detuning via midi etc. So many options and combinations for on-the-fly tweaking, and it’s so much fun.

I just wanted to say how pleased I am with my JU66. You are so very clever to have replaced the Juno’s ‘brain’ with such a brilliant device.
The instructions were easy to follow (I used a de-solder pump and wick to remove my chip). The increased flexibility of my new Juno is nothing short of amazing. To think I was contemplating selling the Juno…now I won’t part with it!
Thank you so much for developing such a great retro-fit.

The Juno-66 has absolutely changed the world for me. Expanded the Juno-60 into places it was previously unable to travel. Very easy installation, and fantastic implementation. The extra envelope for filter, sample and hold, expanded sequencer/ arp functions, chord memory, and more bring this wonderful synth into a new focus, and brilliant place in my spaceship!
