Roland JU-06A Boutique Juno Synthesizer

Enter the Roland JU-06A Synthesizer: a fantastic new Boutique offering from Roland that combines the sound, looks, and features of the original JUNO-60 and JUNO-106 into one powerful polyhonic synth module.

Everything You Love About Vintage JUNOs - In One Synth!

Anyone familiar with the original Roland JUNO synths will tell you that they helped define the sound of the '80s - but unfortunately they will cost you a small fortune on the second hand market.

Now, thanks to the Roland JU-06A you can recreate those instantly recognisable sounds and effects for a fantastic price!

Roland JU-06A Synthesizer Highlights

• Compact and comfortable 80's-style Synth
• Combines the sound, look and features of the classic JUNO-60 and JUNO-106
• Authentic vintage styling
• Arpeggio, Chord Memory, and Onboard Sequencer
• MIDI, USB, and external clock input
• Features a built-in speaker
• Battery Powered

Two Classic Synths Combined

As mentioned above, the JU-06A combines the best of both the JUNO-60 and JUNO-106 into a single unit.

Featuring the continuous high-pass filter of the 106, the envelope-controllable pulse-width-modulation of the 60, and the unique filter behaviour of both (switchable from the front panel), the JUNO-06A would make a great option for anyone looking to recreate that classic 80's synth sound.

In addition to this, the 06A comes equipped with that legendary JUNO chorus effect, even down to the noise (which is adjustable).

Arpeggio, Chord Memory, And Step Sequencer

Another favourite feature of JUNO-60 fans is the awesome arpeggio function - which has also been recreated for the JUNO-06A.

In addition to arpeggios, this synth features chord memory and an onboard sequencer too, allowing you to create thick and complex polyphonic phrases at will.

MIDI, USB, And External Clock Input

Thanks to the inclusion of USB audio/MIDI connectors, full-sized MIDI jacks, and an external Clock input, you can sync the JUNO-06A to just about any piece of gear - from vintage analog instruments to modern Eurorack systems and beyond.

In other words: the world is your oyster when it comes to unexpected phrases, rhythmic variations, and other accidental audio gems.

Add Keys And More!

As if the features on the JU-06A weren't enough in and of themselves, you can also easily control it via a master keyboard or DAW.

In addition to this, its compact size allows you to make use of a DK-01 Boutique Dock or a K-25M keyboard unit, leaving you with a self-contained, fully portable synth that's free of wires and other complications.

JUNO Where You Go

As mentioned above, the JU-06A offers a much more compact synth than it's vintage JUNO forebears.

This not only allows for long studio sessions and epic stage performances, but thanks to the built in speaker and battery powered option also allows you to compose and perform wherever you wish!
