My quick guess on this is a MIDI->DCB converter to MIDIfy old Junos
and Jupiters. The DCB connector on the synt is a 14-pin
Centronics-style jack, and it makes sense that it should have MIDI
ports, an arpeggiator clock out and maybe even a filter control
jack. Then again, it might be something completely different - Go get
that designation! If it is cheap, I'd want it, but *waves to rest of
list* I guess they go for more than I could pay these days,
really. Seem to remember that the Roland MIDI->DCB usually fetch
around $150ish at least.
