HS-60 & 106S
The HS-60 & 106S have the cpu & voice board farther apart than the 106. These are separated by a supporting leg for the keyboard. This keyboard support leg
is also in the way of the kiwi106 cable. This leg needs to be removed from the underside of the keyboard and the Kiwisix CPU board moved closer to
the voice board. The keyboard mounting for this mounting leg can no longer be used but there is sufficient mounting screws using the remaining
screws to hold the keyboard firmly. The kiwi106 cable can then be fitted as normal between the cpu board & the voice board.
Optional LED Mod
The LED's for the LOAD, VERIFY & SAVE buttons share a common dimming
resistor. This is fine if only one light is on at a time but is not ideal for
the upgrade. The Kiwi-106 upgrade uses these lights in combinations
to show Arp, Seq & Pattern Modes. This can be fixed by putting a link
across R24 on the far right of the front panel board as viewed with the
board in place. This link can be fitted on the rear of the board and it is
not necessary to remove the front panel.
Swap Back Board
The allows the Roland Juno-106 to be restored to original operation. When the voice board
cpu is removed it can be soldered into the swap back board. To restore the Juno-106 to
original operation remove the ribbon cable, the voice board from the 106, the voice board
cpu daughter board and Kiwi-106 CPU board. The voice board cpu daughter board is a tight
fit and can be difficult to remove. A lever like a midsized Hex Key with a piece of cloth under it
(to avoid damaging the voice board) can be helpful. Be gentle and ease one corner a little at
a time. Avoid damaging the surrounding components.
Fit the Swap Back daughter board with the original cpu fitted into it. This is a very tight fit and
will require some force to insert correctly. Make sure all the pins are in all the holes and press
in. This will seat the board into the holes. Then with the 106 voice board on a static free firm
surface and something firm directly under the cpu area you need to press down very firmly
using a cloth to protect your fingers until the swap back daughter board is seated correctly.
It is best to press one end at a time and then the sides until it is fully inserted.
Replace the original Juno106 cpu board and plug in all the cables
