There are 9 chips staggered, the odd number chips are the voice chips.ģ. When you open the Juno, the voice chips are on the modulation board to the far left.Ģ. Press any key repeatedly and you will now see the screen cycle through 1 to 6, this is playing each voice individually and you should be able to tell which chip is bad, or tell which pair of chips is associated with a bad waveshaperġ. hit both Poly buttons as if you were putting the Juno in Mono modeĤ.
release the key transpose button and you should see 2 staggered dashes on the displayģ. with the synth off, hold the "Key Transpose" button and turn the synth onĢ. This may have already been mentioned, but if you want to see which voices are causing the problems you can use the diagnostic mode.ġ.
I also noticed that in mine and in a friends 106, both of which had failed voices that the failing voices usually worked for the first 5-10 minutes the synth was on before stopping. The voices sometimes start to crackle, get stuck on, or get quieter/louder than the other voices when they fail. One thing you have to be careful about: When doing the adjustment procedure, do not short TP8-TP13! This will fry the output buffer of my clone (the same happens with an original chip).' One being way out center is a good indication of something wrong. Trimpots should all be close to the center position after adjustment. Due to the closer tolerance, only slight trimming is necessary. The new version's adjustment is now easier. Even if you do replace it with an original chip, this adjustment procedure is necessary. Do not believe people who are selling originals or clones who say this is just a remove-replace-play operation.

Although it is straightforward and perfectly described in the juno-106 service manual this requires electronics knowledge and the proper tools: digital multimeter, oscilloscope and frequency counter (frequency adjustment can also be done with a musical instrument tuner or soundcard + frequency measurement program). Just do as is told in the ROLAND JUNO-106 SERVICE MANUAL. No adjusting of the other voices, no adjustments to the main pcb. My clones not only sound exactly as the original ones, they also behave exactly the same.
Installation is straightforward: remove the defective 80017A, replace it with my clone and re-adjust your juno as described in the service manual. If there's a format that the Juno-106 VI can read, I'm not seeing it.First you have to release the voice chips from the board and then solder the new ones in. I tried hooking the Editor's MIDI output up to the host program containing the Juno-106 VI with no luck. One of the few things that the limited sources of info out there about this says is, the Cloud version of the D-50 is the only one of their VIs that can read.

What I can't figure out is how to load them into the Juno-106 VI. I also have the latest version of Juno Editor and all the original Juno factory presets as. Of course, I can't confirm any of this, because the user's manual, or their site or even doing a search for it online say virtually nothing about it.

v1.0.4 seems to include a way to create and save new banks and patches, but I think Roland expects you to primarily either go back and forth between a System-8 hardware device as a plug-out or download any new patches from Roland Cloud on your subscription plan. For whatever messed-up reason, Roland decided not to include the original factory presets, as they did with all of their other Cloud instruments, and instead chose to include just one bank of either presets that take advantage of all the new functions they added (arpeggiator, effects, etc.) or a couple of the original "1984" presets. I have the Roland Cloud VI version of the Juno-106 (macOS).
