Don't know anything about the Jupiter 6 in particular; but I'm willing to
bet that once you've added those two voices, you would have to
upgrade/replace the synth's operating system in order to utilize/recognize
the new voices. Have never heard of such an upgrade being
available....anybody else?

You would have to rewrite the controller code for the Jupiter to
make it use the other 2 voices. Also, I don't have the schematics
in front of me but there may not be enough control lines from the
CPU to address the extra 2 voices. Better to check this before
populating the other 2 voices in the middle board.

Its possible to do something like this but you better be prepared
to do a lot of engineering.

Cheers,
K.

the jupiter 6 has 2 voice boards, 1 four voice board and then another four
voice board that only has 2 voices on the board. would it be possible to
"add" the missing voices and turn a jupiter 6 into an 8 voice jupiter 6????
