JUNO-66
The Tubbutec Juno-66 is a midi retrofit and feature extension for the Roland Juno-6 and Juno-60
synthesizers. It features added play modes, an expanded arpeggiator/sequencer, midi in and midi out,
two chord memory modes, two additional filter LFOs, ADSR Envelope for the filter, more.
This manual only describes the features which are different from the Juno-6 / 60. Great care has been
taken to not alter the original behaviour of the synths with the exception of the key transpose button. The
key transpose button has become the primary mode switch to program the Juno-66, and as the result, the
original behavior is lost. Workarounds are described in this manual as we go.
This manual we remixed by Sunshine Jones and is formatted to be printed. It will print out nicely as a
booklet, single or double sided, full size, or half size. It’s also fine as a PDF, but blank pages are added for
a nicer physical experience."

SWITCHES AND BUTTONS
The Juno-66 functions are controlled by the following switches and buttons on the left side of the synth’s
panel:#
KEY TRANSPOSE, HOLD, ARPEGGIATOR ON/OFF, MODE and RANGE.
KEY TRANSPOSE
The original function of the Key Transpose button has been replaced. It now serves as a ’FUNCTION
TRANSPOSE’ button. This is how we enter into programming mode for the Juno-66, and also access
alternate modes. The Key Transpose button no longer transposes the keys of the Juno-6 or Juno-60.
ALTERNATE FUNCTIONS
Key Transpose (long press) will put the Juno-66 into programming mode. Pressing keys on the keyboard
allow us to change the midi channel, adjust the clock divider, clock source, and many of the things the
Juno-66 can do.
MODE and RANGE switches on the arpeggiator switch between POLY, MONO A, CHORD, DUO, MONO
B, POLYCHORD, and adjust the PORTAMENTO rate.
Key Transpose (short press) enables alternate settings for the arpeggior’s MODE and RANGE switches
and
KEY TRANSPOSE, HOLD and ARPEGGIO are important keys for accessing all of these functions. They
are described as we go. Also, a sticker showing the most important additional features comes with the kit,
and there is a cheat sheet for you to refer to as you learn (in case you don’t want to put a sticker on your
beautiful synthesizer.)

PLAY MODES#
Play Modes Overview
In addition to the 6 voice polyphonic mode five new play modes are introduced with the Juno-66:#
Two monophonic modes (A & B), a duophonic mode, traditional chord memory and assignable Polychord
mode. When the arpeggiator is turned off, use the MODE switch and the KEY TRANSPOSE button to
select the play mode.
KEY TRANSPOSE OFF
Select the left column of modes (Poly, Mono A and Chord)
KEY TRANSPOSE ON
Select the second column (Duo, Mono B and Polychord)
NOTE
You can use the arpeggiator freely in all modes, so it isn’t a choice between them, however, sometimes
you might get confused, or even worried that something’s wrong. Probably not, there’s just a lever set into
the mono mode, or something like that. Its good practice to reset these levers to the UP position when
you’re done playing, to avoid confusion while you’re learning these features, and discovering what they
do, and how they work.
POLY!
Poly mode is the normal 6 voice polyphonic mode
also used in the original synth.
The voices are assigned in a rotary algorithm and
voice stealing is performed on the ’oldest’ voice.
To play the Juno as you might typically expect it to
work, turn off the arpeggiator, flip the MODE
switch into the UP position (POLY) and the
RANGE switch up to 1. This is POLY mode
(portamento off)."
DUO!
The duophonic layers three oscillators per voice
and detunes the voices to create a thicker, denser
sound similar to the ’supersaw’ or ’supersquare’
modes often found in synthesizers.
Enter DUO mode by pressing Key Transpose
(short press, so it isn’t flashing) and set the
MODE switch to the top position (UP). You should
hear the polyphony cut in half (3 voices) and the
sound get super fat (doubled). Press Key
Transpose again, and hear it return to POLY
mode. Press it again and you’re back in DUO
mode.
The “fatness” or detune can be controlled by midi
CC 6 or in the config menu 11.By adjusting the
8

fatness a wide range of sonds from ’clean’ over
’fat’ to ’dirty’ and finally ’detuned’ can be achieved.
ADJUST FATNESS LOCALLY
1. Long press the Key Transpose button until it
starts flashing
2. Select “Fatness” by playing F#3 (F sharp 3) on
the keyboard.
3. Choose the amount with the number keys C#1
(1) - E2 (16) on the keyboard.
4. Press Key Transpose to exit programming
mode.
ADJUST FATNESS VIA MIDI CC
This is much more straightforward. Connect any
midi controller, and assign MIDI CC #27 for
fatness, and CC #26 for detune to any rotary
controller or fader you have handy, and adjust
them in real time. Make sure that your controller is
transmitting on the MIDI channel you’ve selected
for the Juno-66, otherwise this will not do
anything, and it will get confusing.
It’s easy to get discouraged with things like this
which aren’t clear, or built into the panel of our
instruments. Don’t get discouraged. Make sure
everyone is talking to eachother on the same
channel, and if it doesn’t work the first time, read
all this again, and give it another try. The cheat
sheet is also helpdul so you can double check
midi CC numbers, and find the correct keys
quickly.
VOICE STEALING
Voice stealing is performed so that only the
second played voice is replaced, the first stays
until released.
Use the config menu to select between Duo and
Three-voice modes. "
THREE VOICE (TRI)#
The three voice mode optionally replaces the Duo mode.
Use the config menu to select which of the two are used when setting the panel switch to Duo.
SWITCH BETWEEN DUO & THREE VOICE
MODE
1. Hold the Key Transpose until it is flashing
(Programming Mode).
2. Press F#2 (F sharp 2) for TRI (three Voice
Mode) or F2 for DUO.
3. Press KEy Transpose again to exit
programming mode.#
NOTE
You can freely switch back and forth using this
technique, and whichever mode you select,
switching between POLY and DUO mode will
access whichever of these modes you have
selected.
FATNESS
Three voice mode layers two oscillators per voice
and detunes the voices to create a thicker, denser
sound similar to the ’supersaw’ or ’supersquare’
modes often found in synthesizers.
ADJUST FATNESS LOCALLY
1. Long press the Key Transpose button until it
starts flashing
2. Select “Fatness” by playing F#3 (F sharp 3) on
the keyboard.
3. Choose the amount with the number keys C#1
(1) - E2 (16) on the keyboard.
4. Press Key Transpose to exit programming
mode.
ADJUST FATNESS VIA MIDI CC
This is much more straightforward. Connect any
midi controller, and assign MIDI CC #27 for
fatness, and CC #26 for detune to any rotary
controller or fader you have handy, and adjust
them in real time.
By adjusting the fatness a wide range of sonds
from ’clean’ over ’fat’ to ’dirty’ and finally ’detuned’
can be achieved. #
9

MONO A and B #
In the monophic modes all six Oscillators are layered and detuned with respect to each other to achive a
thicker, denser sound similar to the ’supersaw’ or ’supersquare’ modes often found in synthesizers.
FATNESS
MONO mode layers all the DCO oscillators per
voice and detunes the voices to create a thicker,
denser sound. By adjusting the fatness a wide
range of sonds from ’clean’ over ’fat’ to ’dirty’ and
finally ’detuned’ can be achieved. #
.
ADJUST FATNESS LOCALLY
1. Long press the Key Transpose button until it
starts flashing
2. Select “Fatness” by playing F#3 (F sharp 3) on
the keyboard.
3. Choose the amount with the number keys C#1
(1) - E2 (16) on the keyboard.
4. Press Key Transpose to exit programming
mode.
ADJUST FATNESS VIA MIDI CC
This is much more straightforward. Connect any
midi controller, and assign MIDI CC #27 for
fatness, and CC #26 for detune to any rotary
controller or fader you have handy, and adjust
them in real time.
By adjusting the fatness a wide range of sonds
from ’clean’ over ’fat’ to ’dirty’ and finally ’detuned’
can be achieved.
The monophonic mode assignes the notes in a
’last played’ fashion:
Press a key and it will be played. When releasing
a key and keys are still pressed, the last played
note is played. The algorithm memorizes the last
eight played keys to create an intuitive feeling. #
MONO A
the envelope is retriggered each time a note is
played.
MONO B
Does not retrigger the envelope when playing
legato. #
Auto portamento in Mono B
If auto portamento is activated in the config menu,
in Mono B mode portamento will only be active
when playing legato. Otherwise there will be no
glide. "
10

CHORD MODE
The chord memory mode allows you to memorize a chord consisting of up to six notes and transpose it
with the keyboard.
In the Juno-6 and 60 traditional chord mode works like this:
1. Play a chord.
2. Press the Hold button
3. Press Key Transpose
4. Freely transpose your held chord across the keyboard.
The Juno-66 offers a version of this as follows:
STANDARD CHORD MODE
1. Play a chord
2. While holding the chord press the Hold button
3. Press Key Transpose (long press so it is blinking)
4. Stop plaing the chord
5. Press Key Transpose (short press so the light goes out)
PUT THE JUNO INTO CHORD MODE
1. Make sure the Arpeggiator is OFF
2. Select Chord Mode (Down) with the MODE selector switch of the Arpeggiator controls.
3. Play your chord across the keyboard.
NOTE
You can switch in and out of Chord mode for playing both regularly as well as using the chords by simply
switching this lever to bring you in and out of chord mode.
You can even use the arpeggiator and arpeggiate the chord (so fun!)
11

POLYCHORD
The Polychord functionality allows you to assign an individual chord to each key of the keyboard and play
these chords with a single key press. Like any other play mode Polychord can be used in conjunction with
the Powerarp. Combining the two gives you a versatile chord sequencer!
Essentially this is memory locations for chords. You can program chords, and save them to specific keys.
You can enter any chord you like (considering the 6 notes of polyphony the Juno-6 and Juno-60 are
capable of) and save them to keys in an order that makes sense to you.
One example is to sequentially save a series of chords for a particular song or set.
Another example is to select your favorite chords in a scale and save them to each of the corresponding
notes in an octave. Then you can enter Polychord mode and play all of those beautiful chords with one
finger, and not have to remember how they go.
Something fun to remember:
You can use Polychord mode with the arpeggiator, and the locations without a chord saved to them will
play as single notes. So an arpeggio including four regular notes, and one chord is possible, or
arpeggiating between various types of chords is also possible. It’s really fun, and accidents here can
provoke inspiration. It’s dope.
RECORD A NEW CHORD
1. Play a chord.
2. While holding the chord, press the HOLD button.
3. Press Key Transpose (long press) so it starts flashing.
4. Now while the Key Transpose light is still flashing, choose your memory location and press the key
The Key Transpose light goes out to confirm that you have successfully entered the chord in that location.
ENABLE POLYCHORD MODE
Polychord mode is just Chord Mode with the Key Transpose light on (short press/not blinking)
1. With the Arpeggiator off, switch the Mode Lever to DOWN (Chord Mode)
2. Press Key Transpose button (short press)
Now you can play the chords from the memory locations you have saved them to.
NOTE
Polychord remembers these chords between power cycles. So you can use them again and again, and
don’t need to set it up every time you sit down to play the Juno. Thank you.
Changing the play mode when arp is on #
You can enter and exit different play modes while using the arpeggiator. Press the Key Transpose button
while making your selection to shift into the play mode you want. Exit by pressing the Key Transpose
button again, or switch off the arpeggiator.#
#
12

PORTAMENTO
The Juno-66 features portamento for all play modes.#
The portamento used in the Juno-66 is linear on the musical scale.
This means that when sliding from C to E, the time spent between C and D is the same than between D
and E.
Select portamento speeds
You can use the RANGE (PORTA) switch when
the arpeggiator is turned off to switch on
portamento and select its speed.
When the range switch is set to 1, portamento is
turned off.
Setting it to 2 enables fast portamento
3 slow portamento.
The exact times for ’Slow’ and ’Fast’ can be set
using midi CC 6 or the config menu 11. You can
use a midi controller to change the portamento
speed/time instantly.
Portamento and play modes #
Portamento works in all play modes.#
In Poly, Mono and Duo mode the last played note
is used as the start for the slide.
In Chord mode all the voices slide in paralel and
the structure of the cord is preserved.
In Polychord mode the structure is preserved if
the two chords are transpositions of each other
(e.g. two minor chords.)
Otherwise an extra algorithm makes sure that the
lowest note of the first chord slides to the lowest
of the second chord and so on. This is to make
sure that even here a portamento sounds natural
and you do not end up with musically unpleasant
sounds while sliding. #
Constant Time and Constant Speed #
The Juno-66 features two portamento modes:
’Constant Time’ and ’Con- stant Speed’.#
In ’Constant time’ mode it always takes the same
amount of time to slide from one note to the next
no matter how far they are apart. #
In ’Constant speed’ mode it takes a certain
amount of time to slide from one semitone to the
next, the overall time for the slide changes with
the distance of the notes played. The modes can
be selected in the config menu 11.
’Constant time’ is set as default. "
13

POWERARP
POWERARP OVERVIEW "
The Powerarp mode lets you define a custom arpeggiator sequence which works in all play modes. You
can define a sequence of up to 128 notes, transpose in pitch or shift it in time.
Enter the notes, adding rests or ties, and then playing it back using the internal clock, or triggering it from
the Arpeggiator Clock Input, or from the Midi clock, or with triggers from midi notes. This is perhaps best
understood by exploring. A lot more can be done here than just arpeggiation and basic sequencing.#
CREATE A SEQUENCE #
Here’s how to create a sequence from scratch
1. Press and Hold Key Transpose and Press the
Arpeggiator button
The Key Transpose light should be blinking
2. Enter the notes of your sequence
Tapping the HOLD button will create a rest
Tapping the HOLD button while playing a key will
create a TIE
Don’t actually latch the Hold button, we’re just
trying to tap it. A hold pedal will also work for this.
3. Press Key Transpose to end the programming,
and save the sequence.
PLAYING AND TRANSPOSING A SEQUENCE#
Play back the recorded sequence by playing
middle C (C3)
Transpose by playing other keys.
Pressing HOLD or using a hold pedal will engage
the playback so that we are free to do other things
and like an arpeggiator’s latch, it will just keep
playing until we turn HOLD off.
SHIFT
You can shift the time of the sequence by playing
the highest C and B on the keyboard.
C will advance the sequence by one step
B will shift the sequence back by one step.
Multiple key presses will advance, and retreat the
sequence by as many steps as we press them.
14

SELECTING THE CLOCK SOURCE
You can choose how to clock the arpeggiator by
entering into programming mode and setting it up.
Hold Key Transpose until the light is flashing
(program mode)
Play a key which represents the choice you would
like to make:
F4 - INTERNAL CLOCK
This will operate normally, and the internal
arpeggiator fader will adjust the tempo of the arp.
F#4 - MIDI NOTES
This clocks the arpeggiator from incoming midi
note messages. It can be used in a siilar way to
analog clock input.
Advance the arpeggiator, or the powerarp
sequence one step per pulse with a midi note
(C-2 - or lowest available note.) A very interesting
solution to a long standing problem of MIDI being
a contastant and inflexible tempo without the fun,
and exploration that analog clocking can offer.
G4 - MIDI CLOCK
This clocks the arpeggiator with the incoing MIDI
clock and starts and stops with the external
source which is sending it.
CLOCK DIVISION
You may also adjust the MIDI Clock Division by
pressing G#4 and then selecting the value of
division you want from the keyboard (see the
appendix, or the cheat sheet for the values and
keys)
You may also adjust the analog clock divider in
the same way. In programming mode, select A4
and then select the clock division you would like
to try.
When you’re done with programming operations,
press the Key Transpose button again (short
press, and the light stops flashing)
MODE & RANGE
These are the controls which configure playback
of the Powerarp sequences for performance.
MODE
The mode switch defines weather the arpeggio is
played upwards, downwards or both alternating.
There is a fourth Random Mode that can be
selected by the Range switch.
RANGE
Set the range switch to 1 or 2 to play the
sequence over a range of one or two octaves. In
two octave mode notes that would extend the
range of the keyboard are being folded back into
the keyboards range.#
Set the range switch to 3 to enter random mode.
In this mode you can use the mode switch to
select different random modes as follows:
UP: Normal random mode#
DOWN: Non repeating random mode (two
consecutive notes will never be the same)#
UP & DOWN: Forward/Backward random (the
sequence will randomly advance or go back one
step)
PLAYING A PREVIOUSLY SAVED SEQUENCE
To switch directly into Powerarp hold the KEY
TRANSPOSE button, switch on the arp using the
arp ON/OFF switch (same as recording a
sequence).
Now without recording a sequence press the KEY
transpose button again. The Juno-66 is now in
Powerarp mode with the previously used
sequence.
15

MIDI
MIDI IN #
Depending on the setting in the see config menu the Juno-66 receives midi on channel 1-16 or an all
channels (omni).#
It reacts to midi notes 36 - 97 #
MIDI OUT #
The Juno-66 has two separate midi out modes and sends both on two differ- ent midi channels
simultaneously.
You can configure the channel numbers in the config menu or turn the channels off.#
Midi notes 36-97 are being sent. #
MIDI OUT AS PLAYED #
On the as-played channel only the key presses on the Juno keyboard are sent.
If you record this channel and send it back to the Juno-66, the synth will sound exactly the same as when
you played it.#
This is useful for using the Juno as a midi keyboard. In this mode sustain pedal events will be sent as
”sustain” midi messages. #
MIDI OUT AS SOUNDS #
On the as-sounds channel instead of the key presses and releases, midi is sent the way it actually
sounds.
In this mode the Juno-66 will output the arpeggiator, Powerarp, chord memory, Polychord and
Monophonic modes including retrigger information. Sustain events will not be sent as midi massages but
rather simulated with note on and off events. #
When Mono B mode is selected the next note on event will be sent before the note off event. By most
monophonic synths this can be interpreted as a ’glide’s command.
16

ARPEGGIATOR AND SAMPLE & HOLD TRIGGER #
The Arp and Sample and Hold clocks can be selected to trigger by the internal arp or midi. (see config
menu). There are two midi trigger modes. when ’midi note’ is selected as the trigger input, the trigger is
midi note 0 (for the Arp) and midi note 1 (for the Sample and Hold) #
When ’midi clock’ is selected, the Arp and Sample and Hold will trigger in sync to the received midi clock.
You can choose between a number of dividers for the midi clock to achieve various clock frequencies by
sending midi controller messages (see midi controller chart). The table below shows the controller values
and the resulting frequency in bars. You can also set the dividers in the config menu. #
FILTER VIA MIDI #
The Juno-66 features midi filter control. Controller massages received on controller number 17 will
modulate the filter. The default value is 0.#
The filter S/H LFO and the triangular LFO can also be controlled using midi. #
PROGRAM CHANGE#
The Juno-66 responds to program change commands and changes the play mode. It also sends program
change commands when changing the play mode. The following table shows which program number
corresponds with which play mode: #
17

PITCH BEND
If the hardware is installed, the pitch bend can be controlled using midi by sending pitch bend commands.
Use the Juno’s amount sliders next to the bender to set the amount of pitch bend and/or filter modulation.
ADDITIONAL FILTER ADSR
The Juno-66 features an additional ADSR envelope for the filter. It is a global envelope. This means there
is not one envelope for each voice but one shared by each voice. In Poly, Duo, Three voice modes the
envelope is retriggered after all keys had been released. in Mono A mode it is retrigged with each key
press, in Mono B mode it is not retriggered when playing legato.
Envelope parameters delay, attack, decay, sustain, release, and amount can be controlled via midi
controller messages. The range of the parameters is very wide: From a couple of milliseconds on the low
end up to 5 seconds on the longest setting. The parameter control low is logarithmic to ensure a good
control over the whole range.
The delay paramter is adjustable between 0 and 5 seconds is the time until the attack phase begins.#
If the looping mode is turned on (midi controller value >63), the ADSR will start a new attack phase the
moment the sustain level is reached. This way the ADSR is looped until the gate is turned off, after which
the ADSR will continue its release phase like normally.
If the polarity is set to inverted (midi controller >63), the hole envelope
will be inverted. Since the Juno-66 can only output positive values, this means, that here the zero level
equals the ADSR amount setting.#
The midi controller numbers can be found in the Appendix.
TRIANGULAR FILTER LFO
The Juno-66 features an additional LFO for the filter which outputs a triangular waveform.Its frequency
can be adjusted from 0,12Hz - 8kHz using a fine and coarse control. The amount can also be adjusted.
See the midi controller chart for corresponding controller numbers.
S/H FILTER LFO
This is a build in sample and hold style LFO that controls the filter. A random value is created on every s/h
clock event and sent to the filter. This simulates the effect of the sample and hold LFOs common in
analog synthesizers, where a noise source is periodically sampled to get a new random value each time.
You can choose between three different clock sources by using the config menu. The internal arp clock,
midi clock and midi trigger. The midi clocks divider can be adjusted in the config menu or via midi. When
midi trigger is selected, the S/H will trigger when note C#-2 is played (second lowest midi note).
You can control the amount of this LFO by using the controller number shown in the midi controller chart
or by using the config menu.
18

ALTERNATE TUNINGS
Juno-66 has the ability to use several alternative scales, as well as four user defined custom scales.#
Built in are the following scales: Pythagorean, Werckmeister III, Werck- meister IV, Werckmeister V, 1/4
meantone and Harmonic (All with 12 notes / octave). You can also upload a custom scale with a program
such as Scala using midi standard tuning bulk dump messages. These scales can have any number of
notes per octave.
UPLOAD A CUSTOM SCALE
Custom scales can be uploaded via midi tuning standard bulk messages, with Device ID 0 and MTS
Preset 0-3. If you are using Scala, set these parameters in the Options - Synth menu. It is important you
select bulk message format, not single note. MTS Preset defines in which of the four custom scale slots
the scale will saved (0-3).
After loading your scale you can now upload it by pressing ’Send’. Make sure the correct midi output is
selected in the MegaMid settings.#
After upload you can select the custom scale in the config menu.#
The scales will be saved and are also availible after power down.
19

CONFIG MENU
In the config menu various parameters can be adjusted. For some param- eters a value can be selected
by using the lower 17 key of the keyboard, others can be selected with a single key press. Parameters
that are also controlled using midi are saved when pressing any unused key in the konfig menu. You
could for example set the portamento times using a midi con- troller and then save them in the config
menu.#
The figure on the next page shows the parameters and how they are assigned to the keys. A larger
version is provided at the end of this manual. This is also inclluded in the cheat sheet as well.
