moogulator ,

Since I am a happy user of the Jupiter 4 MIDI kit – Laszo Kovari is back and the retrofit kits are available again..The improved version of Io, the Jupiter 4 retrofit is released on 28th of March along with the ultimate Juno 60 retrofit, called Minerva. The Promars Kit will follow in Q4/2011 with FM and Arpeggiator!

Io specification JUPITER 4 Retrofit

  • Easy to install, modular internal retrofit

  • Seperate boards for patch programmer and keyboard assigner extension

  • Full MIDI on keyboard, all programmable sliders and switches back and forth

  • MIDI control for pitch bend, VCF, VCA, Portamento and arpeggio rate

  • Two extra LFOs on pitch bend and VCF

  • Memory upgrade to 64 patches

  • Price is 129 EUR for the keyboard assigner board and 99 EUR for the patch programmer board

The new version adds master keyboard functionality to Jupiter like it sends note data not just receives.

Upgrade for existing customers from the old version to the new only for 30 EUR.
