Roland synthesizer JU-06A

Everything you love about vintage JUNOs - in a unique synth

For many, Roland JUNO synthesizers define the sound of the 1980s. As their odds on the second-hand market increase, many keyboard players are looking for one or bitterly regret having sold theirs in the past. Thanks to the JU-06A, you have the sound, look and functionality of the JUNO-60 and JUNO-106 in a single modern and reliable instrument that you can take anywhere.

JUNO anywhere.
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 so you can play anywhere. Its robust steel panels and its flexible metal axis sliders provide pleasant sensations and are able to withstand the rigors of the tour (even if it only concerns your neighborhood). And it looks just like its ancestors, with that 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 high-pass filter, the Pulse-Width-Modulation controlled by the 60 envelope, and the unique filter behavior of the two, instantly switchable from the front. The sounds are perfectly identical to their vintage versions, even changing the controls and parameters in the most extreme way. And like any vintage JUNO, it offers the breathtaking sound of its legendary chorus, faithfully recreated to its cult sound (and, fortunately, adjustable).

Arpeggiator, chord memory and step sequencer.
You may prefer the filter of the JUNO-106, but you are missing the arpeggiator function of the JUNO-60. The JU-06A has both, adding chord memory and a sequencer. Creating chord memory sequences 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 audio and MIDI via USB and standard size MIDI sockets, you can play and synchronize all the instruments of your choice. You also have an external clock input to synchronize with vintage analog instruments or modern Eurorack systems. It's 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 touches.
Its compact size allows the JU-06A to nestle everywhere and be easily controlled by a master keyboard or music software. Place it in a Dock Boutique DK-01 and you have an elegant look with three possible inclinations. Or add a K-25m keyboard to have a complete portable instrument, completely wireless, without complications, for an experience of total freedom.
