For many, Roland JUNO synthesizers set the tone for the 1980s. As their odds on the second hand market increase, many keyboardists are looking for one or bitterly regret selling theirs in the past. With the JU-06A, you get the sound, look and functionality of the JUNO-60 and JUNO-106 in a single, modern, reliable instrument that you can take anywhere.
JUNO everywhere.
The JU-06A is compact but comfortable, whether for long studio sessions or the most epic concerts. It runs on batteries and has a speaker to play anywhere. Its sturdy steel panels and soft sliders with metal pins provide pleasant sensations and are able to withstand the rigors of the tour (even if it concerns only your neighborhood). And it looks exactly like its ancestors, with this vintage style that we all know and love.
Two classic JUNOs in one.
The JU-06A brings together the best of the JUNO-60 and JUNO-106 in a single synth. It has the 106 continuous high-pass filter, the Pulse-Width-Modulation controlled by the 60's envelope, and the unique filter behavior of both, instantly switchable from the front panel. The sounds are perfectly identical to their vintage versions, even changing the controls and settings in the most extreme way. And like any vintage JUNO, it offers the breathtaking sound of its legendary chorus, faithfully recreated to its cult (and, thankfully, adjustable) sound.
Arpeggiator, chord memory and step sequencer.
You may prefer the JUNO-106's filter, but then you miss the JUNO-60's arpeggiator function. The JU-06A has both, adding chord memory and a sequencer. Creating sequences with chord memory produces polyphonic phrases so dense that you will be surprised that they come from an instrument that fits in a backpack.
MIDI, USB and external clock input.
With USB audio and MIDI and standard size MIDI jacks, you can play and sync all the instruments of your choice. You also have an external clock input to synchronize with vintage analog instruments or modern Eurorack systems. This is extremely convenient, and using an external clock with the built-in sequencer can also produce unexpected rhythmic phrases and variations and other welcome accidents.
Add keys.
Its compact size allows the JU-06A to nestle anywhere and be easily controlled by a master keyboard or music software. Place it in a DK-01 Dock Shop and you have an elegant look with three possible inclinations. Or add him a K-25m keyboard to have a complete and completely wireless, uncomplicated portable instrument for a total freedom experience.
