Roland JU-06 Overview

The Roland Boutique JU-06 Synthesizer Module is a recreation of the iconic Juno-106 synthesizer. The new 4-voice JU-06 module features 23 parameters controllable via the front panel and delivers that classic Juno sound, complete with the sought after Juno chorus effect. There are some new additions too, including a faster LFO and continuously variable hi-pass filter (HPF). You can even slide the JU-06 into the optional K-25m keyboard unit for a self-contained, portable synth experience.

The JU-06 also features an on-board 16-step sequencer that lets you quickly try out new ideas such as bass lines and melodies, without the need of even a keyboard controller. It also has a chain mode that allows you to link multiple JU-06 modules using the MIDI ports, adding an additional 4 voices of polyphony.

  • Dual ribbon controllers for pitch bend, modulation, and sound preview
  • Battery-operated (4x AA) or USB powered

Two Classic JUNOs in One
The JU-06A is the best of the JUNO-60 and JUNO-106 in one synth. It has the continuous high-pass filter of the 106, the envelope-controllable pulse-width-modulation of the 60, and the unique filter behavior of both, instantly switchable from the front panel. The sound is indistinguishable from its vintage counterparts, even while tweaking controls or using extreme settings. And no vintage JUNO would be complete without the swirling sound of its legendary chorus, faithfully recreated, right down to the lovable (and thankfully adjustable) noise
Arpeggio, Chord Memory, and Step Sequencer
While you may prefer the filter of the JUNO-106, you might miss the arpeggio function on the JUNO-60. The JU-06A has both-and throws in chord memory and an onboard sequencer to boot
MIDI, USB and External Clock Input
USB audio/MIDI and full-sized MIDI jacks for playing and synchronizing with just about any piece of gear. External clock input to sync to vintage analog instruments or modern Eurorack systems. Using external clock to drive the onboard sequencer can result in unexpected phrases, rhythmic variations, and other happy accidents
Optional K-25m Keyboard Unit
The JU-06A works especially well with the K-25m, an optional 25-key velocity sensitive keyboard that takes your music making to the next level. Once docked in the keyboard, the module's front panel adjusts to three positions for convenient access to the knobs and sliders
Battery or USB Bus Power
Some of the best music is made away from the studio, so the Roland Boutique series runs on 4x AA batteries, ready for when inspiration strikes. Alternatively, you can power the JU-06A via USB Bus power
