[@Algorhythm1.0]

I was a little disappointed to realize this is only a four voice recreation at first, but then I realized I'd only use this as a studio tool anyway, so I can just record both high and low voices separately. Might not be ideal when automating, but it's a hell of a lot better than paying $2,000.00 for an original Juno-60.

Really depends on how much money you have to spend. Some people just love nostalgia, I'd be willing to pay a lot for a Juno in good condition, since it's my favorite synth of all time.

[@volt7cooltangs701]

Why oh why Roland? WHY?! ffs why can the external clock in on the JU-06a work with the step sequencer but NOT the ARPEGIATOR? Why? are you nuts? The SH-01a ext clock works with arp & sequencer. The Original Juno 6, Juno 60, Jupiter 4, 6 & 8, the SH-101, all of these had arpegiators that clock synced via the external clock in via a drum machine trigger. Why build in a arpeggiator section that is hugely prominent on the front panel and the marketing, then build an external clk input, and not use in for the arp. Utter insanity. I want an answer. Anyone got an answer for me?

[@prinsnilsson]

Great demo, thanks! Though to me the Arturia Jun-6 V sounds way more authentic and alot closer to my old Juno-60. Shame with the 4 polyphony. And weird choice from Roland really.

Hi! Are you using someone patches or presets? Nice sound

Forgot how tiny those SE-02 knobs were.

[@GoFlyYourselves]

JUNO what? I want to get 2 of these and daisy chain them.. would that give me 8 voices? Be so nice 👍

[@ec5870]

yeah that will give you 8 voices. Any changes made to unit 1 will also effect unit 2.

[@vedabou]

To me, there are Sonic Similarities with the Yamaha Reface CS. However, this is smaller which is a plus to me.

[@savanaviolenta]

CS has really nice creamy filter and vintage 70s sound, JU06A has that classic Roland 80s.

[@organik12]

the biggest issue with CS to me is lack of user presets.

[@vladimirussachevsky1315]

4 voices.... Well the Roland JU-04A then.

I thought the 6 in the name was for polyphony...(btw great niche on your channel with sounds without talking)

It’s kinda Juno-104 or Juno-40

[@thombroom5515]

The winner on the JU-06a and also on SH-01a is the Arpeggio....

[@korbly]

I've seen a lot of people mad at the fact that this doesnt have 6 voices like the original, but realistically? Look at other 6 voice synthesizers currently for sale- let's take the DSI/Sequential OB-6 and Prophet 6. Those retail for nearly $3000. In this package, Roland is offering all of the same functionality of a Juno synth, for $400, when original Junos (6 & 60) are currently on sites like Reverb for $1000-3000. Also given this demo and what I know the Junos to sound like, this isnt far off. I just feel like it's a bad take to argue over voices when the same/similar effect can be achieved using less, and is certainly cheaper. It's like using a skylight to light up a room- sure, its bright and does the job, but do you need that much? Not really.

[@pcuimac]

Just buy a used System-8 for 900€ and you have a much better deal. 8 voices of Juno, Jupiter, JP-X3 and the S8 itself with good keybed, tons of knobs and a great polyphonic sequencer.

[@RoomAtTheTopStudio]

As a little portable solution it alright in my opinion especially if you only have a small space.

[@77advanced]

This thing is digital. You dont need to put real oscilators, filters and envelopes into it to ad 2 voices. You just need to ad some code and maybe a bit of cpu power if it is the case. Clearly roland's marketing thing to split their products.

[@WxkR]

I agree in that people criticize Roland too much, too fast, but I see justification here. First, previous boutique models were criticized for exactly the same reason: why only four voices when it’s just a matter of programming? This is not an analog synth! (So your comparison to the OB-6 and the Prophet is not helpful]. Secondly, at this point in history, $400 for a digital mini-synth sounds expensive enough to not offer what consumers imagine should be a fully-featured synth, being this an emulation, it should offer the same features of the original and more. The high price point guarantees that anything that can be taken as a “miss” will be taken as a miss and criticized. Ultimately, I think this release is being taken, at least by some, as a confirmation of Roland’s reputation of not caring about clients. Whether true or not, people are not happy about it.

[@volt7cooltangs701]

Size, sound, usability, affordability & Portability. Boutiques and Volcas sell like hot cakes because of these factors. Thank God for them. Save so much space but a lot of fun. Love the TR-08 & SH01a. TB-03 not so convincing. Will get a JU-06a. Still love the Volca Bass, Keys. Lots of sound character. Arturia Microbrute is also a mini marvel.

[@rolandknaap3577]

can you tell me, is there something the volca keys can do that the ju06a can't? I am thinking about buying one of those as my first synth..........

[@volt7cooltangs701]

Roland Knaap , well the Volca keys has real analogue VCO oscillators and if you put the Keys in unison mode and turn the detune knob halfway you can get this amazing synth lead sound that sounds just like a Moog Polymoog as used on the Gary Numan Tubeway Army 1979 UK Hit record Are “Freinds” Electric? That gritty lead sound is massive from such a small box, the JU-06a can’t do that. It can try, it can get close but the 3 gritty, dirty analogue oscillators in the Keys trump the JU-06a as an old school synth lead instrument. So there’s that. Otherwise the JU-06a is marvellous and very versatile and sounds great at Juno sounds, has memories too. I’d get both. The volca keys as a first synth is a very good choice.

[@maccagrabme]

@@rolandknaap3577 The Volca is true analog whereas the Roland ju06a is modelled analog and is digital. The Roland is for those wanting the specific Juno sound which some people love and some loathe. With the chorus on it really does sound nice but take the chorus off and its pretty ordinary. You cant go wrong with the Volca at the price but it wont give you the sound of a Juno.

[@rolandknaap3577]

@@maccagrabme thanks, I got the volca keys and I am impressed by it......

[@allencowley2112]

I really liked the plugins of the S8 but I hated the keybed and the feel / look of the synth. So I sold it and went w a few of the different boutiques.

[@darklazerx7913]

Can a daw interpret all of the sound of a synth like this?

[@kiko1935]

I don't buy the "the ACB technology only allowed 4 voices" stuff I've been reading. This is VA and the d-05 has 16 voices...seems like just a way to encourage people to buy 2 units and daisy chain them, which is very lame.

[@Fractalite]

D05 is a replica of a sample based digital synth , its not ,virtual analog',. The limitation of VA on Boutiques is the limitations of the CPU power available . 4 voices is the most common implementation of VA on them .

[@savanaviolenta]

D05 has DCB technology.

[@matthewelder4000]

Does this have any good synthwave poly bass sound?

[@miles46100]

Really tryna decide between this and the SE-02. Any opinions?

[@rorydempster9926]

I have the older JU06 and the SE-02. I would get the SE-02 and buy the TAL-U-No-LX plugin, which is pretty cheap and sounds just as good to my ears. You also get more polyphony. In my opinion, mono synths benefit a lot more from analogue circuitry than polysynths do.

I have both. The JU-06A your getting more sound shaping options. The Sh-01A you get more playability and ease of programming but can achieve similar sounds as the JU, but there are no effects onboard.
