Roland Alpha Juno 1 (JU-1) Custom Firmware

Features
– 16×1 OLED display support
– All Notes Off disabled (butoba style fix)

In some machines, the EPROM is soldered to the PCB. The typical method for EPROM replacement in this case is to simply use flush cutters to snip the EPROM pins which facilitates desoldering. Then install a socket, and finally the new EPROM. Some machines will already have a socket installed which means the OS ROM swap is conveniently solder free.

And yes, the OLED fix for the Alpha Juno 1 is quite similar in concept to Jeroen Oldenhof’s work on the Roland Alpha Juno 2, but the JU-1 and JU-2 are different machines and the ROMs are not interchangeable.
