The Kenton Pro-DCB brings instant MIDI to those much-loved instruments, the Juno-60 and Jupiter-8*. Just plug in and go.
As well as offering control of notes (and program change on Jupiter-8), the interface also has output sockets for filter control and arpeggio clocking. In addition, it boasts a built-in programmable LFO and works both ways (ie. it’s bi-directional), so your Juno can be used as a master keyboard if required. We think that you’ll find this the most comprehensive MIDI-DCB converter available today, and it’s fast too.
Please ensure that you purchase the adaptor lead if you have a Jupiter-8 with a 20 pin OP-8 connector.
Juno-60 always has a 14 pin DCB connector – so the included DCB lead is fine.
Juno-6 fitted with Kenton DCB socket upgrade also has 14 pin DCB connector – the included DCB lead is fine.
*Jupiter-8 must have an existing DCB (14 pin) or OP-8 (20 pin) connector – however some Jupiter-8s have neither – you need to check which yours has. If you have the 14 pin DCB connector, the included DCB lead is fine. If you have the 20 pin OP-8 connector you will need the 14 pin to 20 pin adaptor lead also.
Two 3.5mm mono jack to 1/4″ mono jack leads for Clock and VCF are included as well as the 14 pin DCB lead
9V switch mode power supply included. Products bought directly from Kenton are supplied with the appropriate power supply for the delivery address. Four types are available, UK / EU / USA / Australia.

Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet.

If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch at info@signalsounds.eu if you have questions.
