Juno-106 Upgra e Notes
Digital Oscillators The Juno-106 Synthesizer uses
programmable ivi ers from a single
master oscillator to generate the
pitch of the notes. While this oes
create very a stable pitch it oes
create some issues.
Because the ivi ers are being
reprogramme every time the pitch
for that voice changes, the lea ing
e ge of the DCO pulse is constantly
changing in relation to the other
voices.
This is a 'feature' of the Juno-106
har ware an cannot be altere .
This is especially noticeable when
playing in Unison as all six voices
are playing the same pitch but the
start point of the voice waves will
not be the same. The au ible
result of this is that ran om notes
can soun 'thin' with much of the
bass portion missing at certain
start point combinations. Anything
that effects the pitch of a voice
( etune, pitch ben ing, lfo
amount, Portamento etc) will
change the DCO wave voice start
points an change the soun .
Master Clock The Internal Master Clock is
generate within the Kiwi106. This
clock is then use to generate the
Arpeggiator & Sequencer clocks.
The Master clock can be from

1) Internal. The rate is set by the LFO
Rate Sli er while the KeyT button is
being presse
2) Mi i Clock
3) External. An External Clock can
be fe into the 'PATCH' input on
the rear of the Juno-106. This can
then be selecte to rive the
Master Clock. This clock will
count each time the Patch Input
changes from 0v to 5-15v
( Positive pulse).
The External Clock can be further
ivi e by 24 or 48 to suit PPQN

1&2 have been ma e close to the
