The Juno-106 Service Manual (download at Juno-106 Connection) contains a block diagram that shows the signal flow of the synthesizer. Hope that helps.
It sounds like an interesting project, I would be glad if you could keep me updated on the progress.
From chris hipgrave 2008-02-10 20:22
Hi,
I am planning on producing a pure data patch which emulates a juno 106 and was wondering whether you could sketch me a quick synth diagram (or explanation) so i can see in what order the of modules the signal flows?
Thank you
Chris
From Björn 2008-02-10 15:08
Juno-106 control changes are transmitted as SysEx MIDI-messages. I think MIDI programs mostly support mapping of ordinary MIDI-messages (CC's etc.) to controllers. To use the juno as a controller you would need some extra MIDI sw to map SysEx to CC's.
From Sean 2008-02-08 0:47
Hey, I ran across your Juno-106 program and found it extremely helpful for saving specific sounds to use later, although it didn't solve the problem I originally had. I'd like to use the Juno as a MIDI controller as well as using it for the sounds it has, but for it to work effectively, I'd like to know what the CC labels were for each slider, button, and switch since the MIDI programs I use do not have the "learn" function. Do you know where I could find a list of these? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
From Björn 2007-12-04 21:26
I'm not sure I understand your question. However, if you mean to use the Juno-106 as a sample device - it is not possible. The Juno only generates sounds from its DCO's.
From rich 2007-12-04 6:33
can you patch hammond b-3 samples into juno 106
From Björn 2007-12-03 11:18
Yes, the parameters of the patch are displayed in the graphical user interface of the application. That is, the sliders and buttons will adjust to the saved data.
You can also use the "manual" button on the Juno to synchronize the editor to reflect the "real" settings of the juno sliders and buttons.
From Tom - NYC 2007-11-29 18:49
Thanks once again Bjorn. I am off to buy MIDI cables. Just one last question. Will the software be able to to read a given patch's data (sent from the keyboard to the PC via MIDI) and display the parameter settings on the PC's Juno-106 "dashboard?"
From Björn 2007-11-28 21:48
You can backup your patches with this app if you have a midi interface.
Download the application (preferably version 2.0) and install. Set the midi in and out ports in the application to those where your Juno is connected. Then follow steps "Midi function setup" and "Receiving patches from your Juno-106" in the useful hints section.
From Tom - NYC 2007-11-28 19:04
I hope you can help me.
I have just acquired a Juno 106 with some great customized patches – but with the original factory battery!! (20 years old!!)
I’ve downloaded the owner’s manual to better understand the memory saving process but unfortunately have not been able to find a suitable tape recorder to facilitate the process. Also, I am very wary of screwing this up and losing the patch data. Can I use your software to save patch libraries to my PC??
Any suggestions as to what I can do? Please forgive my ignorance and thanks in advance for your help.
From Björn 2007-11-01 21:13
I looked up the VST plugin possibility some time ago and back then it wasn't possible to send long enough SysEx MIDI messages. It's a shame, to control the Juno from cubase or similar would be nice...
Also, to have parameters varying in time with LFO or some parameter envelope would be nice. That would really add a dimension to the sound. However, the programming effort is high and I'm really short of time right now.
PS: I removed those messages from the robots. Seems like my "state-of-the-art security function" wasn't enough to stop them :)
From Ben_j 2007-10-31 19:00
make that "with new features such as a syncable LFO that could be used on any parameters"
From Ben_j 2007-10-31 18:58
Would it be possible to make a VST ? With various new features such as an LFO that you could syncable LFO that could be used on any parameters, usable with classic CCs... That would be the ultimate utility for the Juno.
PS : fuck the bots :(
From Björn 2007-10-13 10:16
Sam S - It would be a good idea to be able to sync the lfo rate to bpm. I think though it would be hard to find exact sync for a given bpm since the juno only recevices midi messages with integer values 0,1,2,...,127.
From David T 2007-08-03 8:22
You are my hero. The 106 has just been laying around and now it's being used again. What an inspiration.
Thanks so much Björn.
From Sam S 2007-08-01 23:31
Just briefly tested the program and it seemed perfect! Is there a way to sync the lfo to a certain bpm? I'm using Ableton which doesn't support sysex (or does it?), so i figured that maybe i could just save a patch that has the lfo synced to correct tempo. Is this possible with the Librarian? If not, any tips on how i could do it?
From David T 2007-08-01 22:25
Wow! Thanks so much. Just found your site and will try it first thing tomorow. Any chance og making this a VST and/or RTAS plugin so it can be used in a host sequencer?
I'd be willing to pay for that.
Keep up the good work.
From Ben_j 2007-08-01 21:41
There's no magic recipe to make a good sound. You have to learn by yourself, try things and see how the sound is changed. The Juno is a very good choice as a first analog synth in my opinion. It's quite simple yet so good... Though, if you have MSN add me, I could give you advice.
From Jonas 2007-07-24 20:18
Hi! I've just bought a juno 106, and I'm a little confused, it's my first synthesizer...
So I just wanted to ask if anyone has a link to some page witch explains a little better how to make great sounds and all that!

This is fantastic! I have been waiting for something like this for a long time. What I'd like to see though: Can you give the application an icon? Can you make it such that you can drag it into the doc?
From Björn 2007-07-01 17:08
I have the possibility and I have given it thoughts to create a standard forum application on my web server (connected to this site).
However only one bank has been uploaded in this simple forum until today so the interest to share sounds seems not to be overwhelming...

Sorry if this appears dumb, but how do I get the default library back into the Juno from your great utillity?

Many Thanks,
From Björn 2007-06-14 16:11
Unfortunately there is no automatic way to transfer the whole library at once so you have to do it one by one. There's a post below on the same topic (2006-11-29 11:54) describing this.

From Björn 2007-03-27 14:02
Sysex file export has been on my mind to include but I have unfortunately not implemented it. It will probably be in the 2.1 release or so.
It's just the basic 'export patch to SysEx' functionality you are requesting right?
From Timothy 2007-03-20 15:51
Another suggestion... *.syx file export (or *.mid export) feature so patch data can be imported into sequencers. This will be handy for those of us with MKS-7 units (rack mount Juno 106s, essentially), which do not have persistent memory... ie, they lose all customized patches on power-down.
From Timothy 2007-03-20 15:18
THANK YOU for working on this. Editors and librarians for classic gear are becoming harder and harder to find... Has anybody tested this on Vista yet? I'm about to upgrade. I imagine as long the latest Java runtime fully supports MIDI on Vista, there shouldn't be a problem -- I'm just curious.

Nice Librarian program,
Was starting to get worried that my programming would someday get lost, now not a problem, all saved, and for once I get to check out the Factory patches (bought mine used, they were mostly gone). I like being able to download a patch onto the manual setting just to check it out. And the program works great !!!
From Björn 2007-02-01 14:34
Lately, a lot of robots have "signed" this forum. I hope the dummy security question will help.
Otherwise, if someone is familiar with php programming and know the correct techniques to remove the robot phenomenon I could need some help.
From Björn 2007-01-18 23:31
I will probably include sysex file import in v2.0. Do you possibly have a syx file with patch data from a Juno-106 that you could send to me via email? Thanks.
From Roby 2007-01-18 21:50
Very good librarian, thanks for your work. Do you think it's
possible to add the single patch file (*.syx) import feature?
Greetings from Italy
From Björn 2007-01-18 21:24
Actually I am working on a step by step guide for the next version but here's how you backup:
1) Connect the Juno-106 via Midi and select the proper MIDI In ports in the application
2) Make sure the synthesizer is in midi function III (there's a switch on the backside)
3) If everything is correct setup, when you press A11 on the synth, a patch A11 will be displayed in the Midi in receiver part of the app. Patch transmission can only be initiated from the synthesiszer.
4) A received patch is saved to the current library in the app by pressing the 'save' button.
5) The 'dump' button enables automatic save of all received patches to the current library.
From dan 2007-01-18 14:33
thanks for quick reply.
can you provide me with a step by step instruction on which buttons in the app to press? how do i use the dump button?
i would like to create a backup of my banks.
regards from berlin.
From Björn 2007-01-18 9:48
The Juno-106 does (unfortunately) not support automatical patch dump .
A patch is transmitted when you press the selecting buttons A11, A12, A13 etc. on the synthesizer.
The dump button in the app saves all received patches automatically but you have to press the buttons on synthesizer by hand.
From dan 2007-01-18 1:17
hi,
i just download your applicatin for os x. thank you. how long should a patch "dump" take? been waiting for a while now and my MIDI in port is blinking, so data is being sent from juno to USB MIDI Interface.
thanks.
From Björn 2006-11-29 11:54
Uploading all default patches (or another set) to the Juno-106 is possible but time consuming.
(1) Open the 'factory patches (with position).106' library in the editor and (2) one by one activate A11..., A12,... etc in the editor and save them on the synthesizer.
As for now this is the only option to restore the synthesizer.
From Mike 2006-11-29 3:45

Plumstone has now been moved to a new home at www.mandolane.co.uk and you might like to update your web page.
You might also mention that Intel Mac users should not use Plumstone, but should use Mandolane MIDI SPI instead. This can be found on the same web site.

I'm not sure what you mean but if you want to backup patches from the Juno-106 just connect it to your selected midi in port and the librarian will receive patches as you select them on the Juno. The 'dump' button will help you to save all received patches automatically.
