So, where does the name JUNO.6PM come from and what is it exactly its going to do? I guess you are wondering.
JUNO.6PM is a midi + monome controlled virtual analog synth + sample playback drum machine. The virtual analog synth is a juno 106 workalike, with 6 voices, 1 dco, 1 lfo, resonant 24db/Oct lpf, chorus effect... I do not pretend to do a juno clone, as I have never played one, but I did use its audio flow as a reference for my design, mostly because of its simplicity. As for the sample playback drum machine, I have tested with Linn drum samples, but there is no reason it could use other ones.
I am doing the development in a linux machine and every now and then porting to raspberry pi, the expected final platform.
So, going back to the name, the JUNO comes from the virtual analog synth it tries to work like, the 6 comes from the 6 voices polyphony of the VA, the P(i) is the platform and the M comes from the Monome working as the machine drum controller.
At some point I am panning on adding also a 3.5" TV, 8 knobs and 16 switches for configuration. Meanwhile everything will be midi controlled.
Since an image is worth more than a 1000 words, I will make a diagram soon showing the expected setup.
