I wish I had some hot tips here! Many years ago a friend loaned me her Juno
6, and I still have it, in fact i was just poking around inside it a few days
ago trying in vain to fix a broken switch (the KEY TRANSPOSE button). I
didn't look at the feasibility of CV outputs and I see why you might think it
would be easy (if the VCFs really are voltage controlled), but I'm wondering
what you're thinking about given the polyphonic nature of the keyboard. So
please post to the list (or at least me) anything you figure out regarding
this -- and if your manual has the part number for those Alps buttons, I'd
really like to know since that would make ordering a bit easier I'd hope.

BTW, I seem to recall that Juergen Habile has some Juno 6 mods on his page at
synthfool -- I've never looked at them, I guess I should.
