DCB was quickly replaced by MIDI in the early 1980s which Roland helped co-develop with Sequential Circuits.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.midi.org/midi-articles/midi-history-chapter-6-midi-is-born-1980-1983 | title=MIDI History:Chapter 6-MIDI is Born 1980-1983 }}</ref> The only DCB-equipped instruments produced were the Roland [[Roland Jupiter-8|Jupiter-8]] and [[Roland Juno-60|JUNO-60]];<ref name="russ"/> Roland produced at least two DCB sequencers, the [[Roland JSQ-60|JSQ-60]] and the [[Roland MSQ-700|MSQ-700]]. The latter was capable of saving eight sequences, or a total of 3000 notes, and was capable of transmitting and receiving data via MIDI (though it could not convert signals between DCB and MIDI, nor could it use both protocols simultaneously). Roland later released the MD-8,<ref>{{cite web | url=https://archive.org/details/synthmanual-roland-md-8-owners-manual | title=Roland MD-8 Owner's Manual }}</ref> a rather large black box capable of converting MIDI signals to DCB and ''vice versa''. While this allows note on/off to be sent to a JUNO-60 by MIDI, the solution pales in comparison to the full MIDI implementation on the JUNO-60's successor, the [[Roland Juno-106]]. A few other companies offer similar conversion boxes to connect DCB instruments to regular MIDI systems for the support of vintage synthesizers in modern sound production environments; one of the more fully-featured devices being the Kenton PRO-DCB Mk3 which has some bi-directional control limited to a few parameters.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://kentonuk.com/product/pro-dcb-mk3/ | title=PRO-DCB Mk3 }}</ref>
