More voices – 6 poly voices, plus one dedicated bass voice, plus drum sounds.

No restrictions on how to use the 6 voices – simple.Sliders and buttons for every patch parameter.I have not tried it, and I have not researched it either.


The voicing hardware is similar, but not identical, to the Juno-106. The Roland MKS-7 was allegedly intended for MIDI-file playback and karaoke, thus being a consumer market product. The Roland MKS-7, a “6 note polyphonic / mono bass / TR707 drum sound” module Some people say the MKS-7 is the rack version of Juno-106. To understand it, you need to know the Juno-106. Finally, I used the settings (slightly tweaked) from the this Gearsltuz post to get the Chorus settings (thanks Zapman & Exode).This page compares the Roland MKS-7 to the Roland Juno-106. Hence, some patches are a closer match than others. So, I would set the rough positions of everything using the Librarian and then listen to the sound samples whilst tweaking all the sliders to get as close as possible, which in some case was quite straight forward, and in others no so much. That was a great starting point for all of the patches, but unfortunately, a lot of the slider positions weren't exact enough to get the right sound on the Deepmind (Freq, Res, Env, ADSR etc), which is where this amazing page by the wonderful Synthmania came to the rescue, as it has audio samples of every preset from the 106! Next, I downloaded ' The Juno-106 Librarian' along with the factory patches provided on that page. As mentioned above, watching this video from Startsky Carr inspired me to do this, so a big thank you to him for taking the time to do that.
