FL Studio's (21.2) new synth Kepler is a Roland Juno6 clone. This is a great demo for it!

[@lundsweden]

Two things make this synth great- the filter and the best ever chorus on any instrument.

[@rachelar]

And arpeggio

[@MorbidManoeuvres]

its not a complicated synth, its more on what it does it does gorgeously well and not many come close to its lushness !

[@roba1899]

pure ASMR .. as a guitar player and a budding percussionist, I’m finding this world to be ever more fascinating by the minute ..

[@tonelab]

Bless !! 🙏🏼 this is a great entry level synth.. follow your curiosity down the rabbit hole, if that’s where your heart wants to go 🙏🏼👌🏼

[@CosmischeDenkers]

what a dream synth to have in studio, to lost every sense of time and body by just listening playing around fokussed in a cosmic sphere, where there is no me anymore but just pure lush sound and record button. sounds absolutely gergeous

[@project-95]

This synth sounds amazing to me. To this day no analogue poly can emulate it perfectly

[@briancoyne6700]

Nothing like a Juno to soothe the soul. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing. Brings back so many memories.

Remember showing Audiomaster on my $500 home Amiga computer to my DJ/studio buddies. It was soo easy and intuitive to use. I would fine cut samples and create sequences in seconds, which would take them a minute or two to do on their $1500 Akai 3000. Blew their mind. :)

[@tonelab]

I cut my teeth on the Amiga 500.. that thing was a leap forward as a creative platform.. I was on the Commodore 64, beforehand.. but when the Amiga hit the streets.. wow, we could really get creative.. and, as it happens.. the engineers and programmers went on to work for Ensoniq and Emu, as far as I know. So, in essence.. it was the dawn of the Sampler/Sequencers.. as we knew it.. very fond memories of the crews I was in making “mods” for tracker apps that were used in various ‘intros’ and ‘trainers’ 👾🤓

[@monsterjazzlicks]

The Valhalla adds so much! 😁

[@monsterjazzlicks]

Great stuff man! I'm astounded I never came across this video until today! Some classic tones there. Sounds like your machine is in very good working order.

[@billpickle2875]

Honestly gutted I sold this synth. Its more than 3 times the price of what I sold it for and about 10 times the price of what I paid. The future sucks

[@scooterking136]

should kept it and made music. i hope whoever has it now still plays it

[@lundsweden]

Same sad story here! 😢

[@lundsweden]

Dude, you bought it, had fun with it, sold it and made money out of that! Cup half full!

[@rachelar]

@@lundsweden ha, me and my friends think the same thing. Having said that my local doctor does play venues with his band regularly and practice every Saturday. The guitar amp is in reception!

[@Hawkrvo]

I’ve had my Juno 6 since 1985. Amazing manual that can create any sound. I just wish they had put numbers and lock positions on the dials for writing down the sound you want to keep.

[@monsterjazzlicks]

Really superb tones! 😁

[@tonelab]

Cheers! 🤓

[@lyxnick]

Awesome sounds. I feel like I could hear the chorus noise from here 😆😝

[@tonelab]

Thanks very much 🙏🏻 ..oh, you can hear the Chorus from your House?? 😆 that, my friend, is the trademark of a real Juno.. almost like it's coming off of a Cassette before it's recorded 🤓👌🏼

[@marcusthomas5528]

Awesome

[@phoenixrising1576]

I love the Arp at 160 ish etc. Id love a simple unit to that with on my 106. Something that would still allow me to play the Juno keybed. Nice one. Never new the 6 existed lol.

[@tonelab]

The Juno 6 has one of the best arpeggiators around.. not so much in terms of complexity, but just in terms of 'fun' IMHO.. it's very similar to the SH-101 arpeggiator, but just on a big synth. You should check out the clip on the 60 as well, very similar to the 6 though 😉

[@tonedetective9757]

Awesome!! Love it

[@tonelab]

🙏🏻

[@pfmmodule5144]

I’m rewatching and stealing some of these ideas. My efx chain is an ADG-1 analog delay and a Mercury 7 verb. Adding efx with the chorus on has been a challenge so far.

[@helisoma]

i have a Juno-6 and it's not a problem...i'm recording it in Reaper, adding Black Hole or Blue Sky reverb, and i even add Roland's Chorus 60 VST which makes it sound even more rich

[@monsterjazzlicks]

I must admit, I hardly ever use the Hold function and never use the Transpose. If fact I'm not even sure if my Transpose function is even working?

[@fredericdesalpes5824]

Reverb , sûre , at least....Fred

[@monsterjazzlicks]

@@fredericdesalpes5824 - Basslines can sound OK without reverb, for the most part. But yes, I have a Nuenaber Immerse pedal.

[@christianetchepare3071]

HI Jeff, first of all congratulations for your work and the quality of your compositions. Would it be possible to have the MIDI file of this composition please. Thank you in advance, Christian

[@tonelab]

Thanks very much. But, sorry... no MIDI file.. this ol' Juno does not have MIDI, I just recorded these pieces 'on the fly' as 'audio' 🙏🏻

[@philosophiaentis5612]

@@tonelabDid you play it dry or with an external effect gear?

[@patriciaoudart1508]

I have one Juno6, lovely sounds, this is synths History. Good to understand how analog sounds works. I think also you can't find on new synths the same sound, I have a Jupiter50 the juno6 sounds are different and not the same way to simply push gliders to make evolving the sound, perhaps using a Ipad I have not, Juno 6 is so easy to make the sound, like an organ, you forgets technology.

[@tonelab]

That's a good way to put it! ☺️

[@monsterjazzlicks]

Have subbed! 😁

Thanks! 🫡

[@monsterjazzlicks]

@@tonelab No problem! 😁

[@philosophiaentis5612]

[@tonelab]

There’s effects added.. see description for details 🙏🏼

[@zachhaywood1564]

Which is better, this or the 60, and why?

[@tonelab]

I tend to prefer the sound of my 6..'Presets' on the 60 is convenient.. but, for my ears.. the 6 has a more rounded bottom end. The 106 is quite a different animal, but I do favor the height and positions of the faders on the 6 & 60 👍🏼

[@burns46824]

Having presets is...extremely useful.

[@dan-h2g]

One less thing to go bad on the 6.

[@project-95]

The 6 because it's the same sound for less money, continuous HPF instead of stepped, and it's so easy to program that unless you're gigging patch memory is just a nice to have not a necessity. Front panel looks a little less cluttered too

[@MacXpert74]

@@project-95I definitely prefer to have my Juno 60 with the patch memory. It's not just handy for playing live. If you're working on a track and use multiple sounds from the Juno in it, it's really convenient to be able to recall a sound on any moment. For instance you played a bass part, but later want to add some different lines. With the Juno 60 I can just select the patch and record it directly. With the Juno 6 I would first need to spend the time to exactly dial in the sound, so that it doesn't have an unwanted change in the track. The HPF, is not much used on the Juno (at least not by me), as it's a non resonant low-end roll-off type of HPF. The 4 positions are good enough for that, and otherwise EQ can be used for finer control. So it's not much of an advantage that the Juno 6 has. Other sound differences between a Juno 6 and Juno 60 mentioned by people should be down to aging of components and/or calibration, as technically as far as I know the circuitry is identical between the two.

[@spurv]

There is no "1080p HD".

[@tonelab]

Sorry, there is .. however, it's on the 'tutorial clip', had a small issue with the original file being corrupted. Here's the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJywoqqKhtOLeLM 🙏🏻

[@therealmber]

Dude it's 1982, there is no p, and we're lucky in Australia to have 576i...

[@syntheshwara]

Superb man... What's that reverb??

[@tonelab]

Thanks! 🤓 .. There was a little bit of Echo Boy and loads of Valhalla.. I've just put the links in the description 👍🏻

[@NelsonClick]

In my opinion, the Juno 6 was best utilized in the studio as a post production instrument. Meaning, after the foundation tracks had already been recorded. Enhance recorded instruments and bridge sections of songs that needed something. Each part could be uniquely customized in a one time only, never again sound that created "magic" for a recording. It was no good for live use but in a studio with EQ, reverb, delay, phase and flange it was capable of such an incredibly beautiful sound. As demonstrated here.

[@philosophiaentis5612]

So was it not played dry, but with external effects?

[@jimmerriam6178]

I had one and it's since been replaced by an OB-6, which I deeply regret, though I love the OB-6 too for it's "sound". I don't regret the OB-6. I agree with what you wrote, but I also just fell in love with the Juno's own sound without effects too. I never ran it through effects except just some reverb sometimes.
