MIDIBox Juno Control (JuCtrl)

Project Description

The MIDIBox JuCtrl is a Alpha Juno MIDI Controller https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_Alpha_Juno. It's an additional control surface and MIDI Controller for the Roland Alpha Juno Synthesizer. I started this Project because the original Juno User CS is very minimalistic (80s Style). With the MIDIbox JuCtrl is every Tone parameter directly at hand. Furthermore you can store all 128 Juno Tone Colours on one Banksticks (1024 Juno Tones with 8 Banksticks).

Functions

Control every Juno Tone Parameter with an encoder or button
Control one parameter (Juno IPR Sysex) or send all parameter at once (Juno APR Sysex)
Store Juno patches (Tones) on Bankstick (Juno BLD Sysex)
Have a clearly arranged parameter overview (via CS LCD & LED)
MIDI processing: MIDI CC to Juno Sysex conversation (and Juno Sysex to MIDI CC conversation)
Use some extra Envelope functions (set all Envelope leve/time parameter to min or max & manipulate all time or level parameter at once with an encoder)

Notes

Note: Set SYSEX ON @AlphaJuno (JuCtrl will not work if SYSEX = off)

Note: JuCtrl CS will pick up all the TONE (Sound) Parameters automatically - if you make changes @Alpha Juno

Note: HOW TO SET JUNO SYSEX ON
1. @Alpha Juno: Push the [MIDI] Button as many times until the MIDI SYSEX OPTION “MIDI EXCL” appears.
2. Use the dial for changing.
3. By writing the data of the MIDI Function setting into the back-up memory, it can be retained even when the Juno is turned off:
  - set the Memory Protect Switch to OFF position. Push the MIDI Button.
  - While holding the Write Button down, push the MIDI Button. The Juno Display will change to: “Write MIDI FUNC.”
  - When the MIDI Button is pushed: “Write Complete!”

Note: WRITE JUNO TONE DATA TO BANKSTICK
1. SELECT THE PREFERRED BANKSTICK (1-8) with [SELECT BANKSTICK] BUTTON and [VALUE] ENCODER
2. SELECT YOUR PREFERRED BANKSTICK AREA with the [MIDI ProgChange] ENCODER
- MIDI ProgChange = 1-64 = You will WRITE Juno Tone Colours to BANKSTICK 1 -64
- MIDI ProgChange = 65-128 = You will WRITE Juno Tone Colours TO BANKSTICK 65 -128
1. Set [PRESET] (64x PRESET TONE COLOURS) or [MEMORY] (64x MEMORY TONE COLOURS) @Alpha Juno
2. PRESS: [DATA TRANFERE] + [WRITE] + [DUMP] @Alpha Juno
3. Now JuCtrl will RECEIVE 64 TONE COLOURS via SYSEX-DATA and write 64x TONE PATCHES to your selected BANKSTICK.
- All Done.
- BROWNS THE STORED TONE COLOURS with the “SELECT BANKSTICK TONE” ENCODER (0-127)
- THE TONE NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE JuCtrl LCD. LOAD A STORED TONE COLOUR WITH THE BUTTON “SEND TONE TO CS”
- NOW THE CS IS LOADED.
- PRESS [SEND TONE TO JUNO] BUTTON for WRITING THE CURRENT CS DATA BACK TO ALPHA JUNO

Note: ENVELOPE FUNCTIONS
- There are some ENVELOPE FUNCTIONS:
1. LEVEL MAX: set all ENVELOPE LEVEL to max value (127)
2. LEVEL MIN: set all ENVELOPE LEVEL to min value (0)
3. ENVELOPE TIME MAX: set all ENVELOPE TIME PARAMETER to max value (127)
4. ENVELOPE TIME MIN: set all ENVELOPE TIME PARAMETER to min value (0)
5. IF YOUR LAST ACTION (@CS) WAS AN ENVELOPE MANIPULATION, YOU CAN MANIPULATE ALL TIME or LEVEL PARAMETER with the [VALUE] ENCODER
