Help Syncing Juno 60 Arpeggiator


msquaredh

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I recently got a Juno 60 and was trying to sync the arpeggiator with my DAW (Abelton) by sending a rimshot sample 4 to the floor to the clock sync in. I'm sending the signal really loud (i think, it is clipping :/ ) but when I hold down a note, I get nada :cry: . I've read on other forums that people have sent loud short rimshot type samples and it works. Does this mean that my clock sync-in 1/4 port is hosed? Has anyone here done this and willing to upload the sample they are using or tell me how to generate in audacity or something? Thanks in advance!!

FYI - I seem to recall a similar thread within the last year from someone trying the same thing who eventually found success.

Yes, that was my thread. I'll dig it up for you, though you could do the same with the SEARCH function.

I succeeded in doing exactly what you want to do, but you can read about it there.

Haha, but you're just off by a minute, 80s! ;)

 

Ah, I overlooked that point - you're quite right, I did! Any rim-shot type sound should work, coming from a drum machine, keyboard, or a DAW.

 

You're going to want to arpeggiate the rim-shot to the desired tempo, and fool around with it from there. Send the audio out from the rim-shot source to your Arpeggio Clock-In, and then make sure you send the Output of your Juno-60 back into your DAW or monitoring system. You should be in Arpeggio mode on the Juno-60 as well. A good bass drum sound would work well, so perhaps your sound isn't the right one? From my experience, the trigger didn't always work, only when I really sent a velocity-heavy bass drum signal. It takes a bit of fooling around... Keep us posted - we'll try to troubleshoot!

 

Edit: Oh - another thing (in lieu of another double-post) - you should be playing your trigger keyboard/rim shot from the DAW, right? If you hold down a Juno-60 note you're not going to hear anything. Play from your trigger source!

If you mean "is the trigger sample playing from your DAW while you hold down the note on the juno 60" then yes, I'm sending the rimshots to the "arp clock in" *while* holding down a note on the juno 60 and nothing happens, when i unplug the 1/4 from the clock in i hear the arp. the sample is also really loud. I've also flipped through samples (using abletons hotswap) and still nothing...Im starting to wonder if the jack is shot?

Look at that Wiki link on DIN SYNC - that's what you're trying to emulate.

 

You have to hit 5v, which is way higher than most line livel audio signals, and 0v (so not too much noise).

I don't know - but if not you can use an amplifier and read the level on a mulimeter's AC voltage setting.
