[sdiy] Hacking a Juno-60

[Roman]

every slider in juno60 is just voltage divider, so making it a modular
is just a matter of driling holes and soldering wires to jacks.
That's for sure according to programmer section. Modifier may be
also 100% VC, but I should first check the schematic to be sure.

It would be better to hack into the VC on the voicing board instead
just the sliders. They are scanned with limmited frequency, so I couldn't
expect smashing results from patching, say, VCO output to frequency
input of VCF. It would be staircased to say the least.

BTW, isn't Juno60 a DCO synth? That leaves them out of "modularisation"
