- Andy Pimblott from Roland UK gives us a quick overview and demo of their powerful JU-06A boutique synth module. Check it out here: www.pmtonline....
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!
The JU-06A combines the best of both the JUNO-60 and JUNO-106 into a single synth module.
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). 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.
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.
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.

This is the video that sealed the deal for me. Thanks for posting.
Good info thx for flipping the 06/106 engine switch!
These boutiques are great. I have 4 in my studio including this one. I am currently controlling them with my Moog Little Phatty and I can change the patches on the JU-06A using the patch selection knob on the Moog which is useful.
How did you link the 4 on phatty?
Would you still be able to use pitch bend and/or modulation through a midi controller that have both wheels?
Would you recommend this to start out as 1st synth or was maybe thinking roland jdxi?
Thanks.
Depends on the music you want to make. You are better off subscribing to Roland cloud first to see what sounds you prefer. This is a bit limiting as it's only 4 note poly. Behringer deep mind might be a better option for similar sounds and better value.
Jdxi very basic. Good concept but stuck with a limited range of sounds that get boring very quickly.
If you want to take keyboard lessons check into the Yamaha MX61, Korg Kross 2 61 or Roland Juno DS61 they're all synthesizers around $750.00 that have 61 keys and can be used with a DAW as a controller or have hardware modules added later.
It is a good starter synth because of it’s simple UI... yet it can make many sounds so you won’t outgrow it quickly. For $20 more you can get the great Arturia Keystep MIDI controller instead of the keyboard in the video. The Keystep is super flexible as your synth collection grows.
I'd actually save up for a Korg Minilogue instead of either of those.
Does this have good bass sounds for synthwave music?
Matthew Elder 100%
Bruv its a juno 106
Wich Keyboard is best for theJuno , any mini ? Thx
Any really. Don’t discount getting the K25m keyboard. The JU06A sits right in it.
I use Keystep with it or keystep pro is ideal for them.
How did you connect your ju06 to keystep?
Hi, can you see the Bpm on the screen ?
Yes. When you change the tempo it displays the BPM.
Vic Flange for the arp and sequencer?
The Vanderbilts. For the arp it does the standard time signatures for an arp. For the sequencer it is in BPM.
Roland a little slow with the release of these. Ordered mine last month and now told earliest delivery 25 Dec 😕🙄
We have them in stock (in the UK) now! www.pmtonline.co.uk/roland-ju-06a-synthesizer
I bought mine in Leeds store last Sunday. AND...they price matched. It is a great item of kit. Love it.
Haha I had a hunch I should click on this. Niceeeee 🔥
How do I turn the chorus on? I had it for so long and can’t figure out how to turn it on
watch at about 3:30
138k subs and 500< views. Fiiiiiishyyyy
4 note poly.. Why Roland why?, 😢 As an aside did Andy iron his hair?
Roland can say whatever they want but it will always have that digital nasally sound. Fail if you ask me. If the originals had that no one would even care about them now.
I don't disagree that digital never matches analog, but as I've been using this for about a week, I think that's far too heavy a criticism. It doesn't get lost in the mix, and has enough harmonic character to inspire extended composition sessions without ear fatigue.
I agree - doesn't sound the same. That being said it's pretty close and it's sure a lot less scary to toss it in your trunk and head to a gig than bringing along a real Juno.
It's not a fail when you consider low price and small size and modern features like audio over USB. Nobody is going to trade a real Juno 106 for one of these, but it could still be a useful box to have for production or performance. And users seem to love them.
Or just buy a dying Juno 106 1200 bucks, and be prepared too dig another 4 or 500 to replace the chips. It's like vintage Fender's vs new ones.. All this is in your head, having and original instrument from the past just inspires you more for sentimental reasons.
Yeah, sticking your ears with headphones and comparing the Juno and JU-06A, their will be a little difference. This does not justify the 1000 bucks difference. Or it's just cork sniffing. The whole deal is making music.
Just consider one thing, do you think the guys making great music in the eighties would notice, blindflod, if would have replaced the original with the JU-06A? I don't think so, and they would just have kept on playing.
All this internet things has gotten people so obsessed with details.. It's not about playing music, it's about spending days in front of their screens and not making music
