[sdiy] Roland Juno 106

What's "the digital part"?

I assume you're not referring to the 'Digital' part of the DCO, which you referred to as boring, although the digital master clock could have a significant affect on the sound.

There's no need to 'clone' the firmware, since that digital aspect doesn't really affect the sound.

I'm just curious what you're saying has yet to be reproduced with modern technology...
