The Juno legacy continues!
Standing as one of the most iconic and beloved analogue synth series ever produced, Roland's JUNO series is an undisputed classic of the synth world and has had a huge impact on music of all kinds over the last four decades. The JUNO-60 and JUNO-106 played a huge role in the emergence of countless electronic styles and featured on an endless list of '80s pop hits!
The JUNO-X brings the best of the past together with Roland's latest tech, reimagining the vintage JUNO experience with greatly expanded tools and creative possibilities tailored for today's musician. The full capabilities of the native ZEN-Core engine merge with authentic recreations of JUNO synths and other legacy Roland instruments.
Three is the magic number
JUNO-X gives you the sounds of the JUNO-60 and JUNO-106 in all their glory, plus a new JUNO-X engine to bring the classic sounds of the past into the present!
JUNO-X
The new JUNO-X is a natural evolution of the historic JUNO voice, an enhanced version of Roland's famous Super Saw Waveform allows you to create even fatter sounds and the velocity sensitivity, pitch envelope control and more allow you to get even deeper into crafting your sound. The new Chorus III mode is a great addition to the two famous chorus modes from the original JUNOs!
JUNO-60
In 1982, Roland presented their JUNO-60 synthesizer - a landmark instrument that had a massive impact on the music of the time and also the synth timeline moving forward. It succeeded the similar JUNO-6 and offered polyphonic synthesis with a stable digitally controlled oscillator at an affordable price point compared to other options on the market. The ability to save and store sounds in onboard memory - along with its rich character and rock-solid tuning - made this synth an instant hit.
JUNO-106
Released in 1984, the JUNO-106 built on the success of its predecessor with even more memory and a revolutionary new MIDI interface. The sonic character of this synth was slightly smoother and cleaner than before and the JUNO-60's arpeggiator was replaced with a polyphonic portamento function. The JUNO-106 became one of the best-selling synths of all time, in part thanks to its improvements and its even more affordable price point.
Go beyond JUNO
The JUNO-X doesn't just offer up a range of JUNO flavours, it also includes a host of sounds from the rest of Roland's legendary canon. Use Model Expansions and content from Roland Cloud to take the JUNO-X even further!
XV-5080, RD-Piano, and Vocoder
With over 900 PCM-based presets from the XV-5080 - ranging across acoustic instruments and vintage synths to drums and more experimental sounds - the JUNO-X is capable of harnessing an endless array of sounds and tones. Access the spirit of Roland's famous RD stage piano series for a truly expressive acoustic piano experience. Plug in a mic and use the Vocoder Model with any JUNO-X sound to create futuristic pads or robotic voicings!
Layer upon Layer
Previous vintage iterations of the JUNO synth series had modest sound capabilities using a single DCO (digitally controlled oscillator). Now with the JUNO-X you can go further and layer multiple JUNOs to explore uncharted analogue-flavoured goodness, from huge leads and basses to gorgeous pads. You can even stack Model Expansions with onboard sounds to build the synth tone of your dreams!
The famous Juno chorus, advanced!
The stereo chorus featured in the classic JUNO synths was one of the most beloved features, adding instant depth and richness to any sound. JUNO-X provides both chorus modes from the original models, as well as a new third mode with even more width and swirl. You can even combine these chorus modes to create seven different effects for use with any JUNO-X tone!
Along with the JUNO choruses, JUNO-X also includes a variety of additional effects to colour your sounds. Independent MFX and EQ are available for different parts, alongside drive, delay, and reverb. Master EQ and compressor effects are also available, along with dedicated vocal effects for the mic input.
