    Classic 80s polysynth

    Roland JUNO-106Published on 06/30/16 at 20:51
    Just a classic polysynth that does what it says on the box. Beautifully easy synthesize makes it a great device for anyone, though it's more than capable of satisfying the pro. Great sounds all around, particularly bass and pads, and of course there's that legendary chorus. Watch the curse of the chips though, it affects every 106 sooner or later.

    Perfect Keyboard. Analog polyphonic excellent. A multitude of choices in presets.

    USE

    A keyboard like this one, it is not master on. That's for years but soon got used to it quickly and the product.
    LFO Freq + controllable over what is perfect and what is cool, too, is the HPF. with both Chorus. It smashes. As against the presets for stored, must want. But after this is a keyboard on which you have to play in the freestyle sounds if it is for the studio only.

    SOUNDS

    Broken Beat DeepHouse + + + Hip Hop Soul + Nu Nu Jazz it could be perfect.
    Velocity nickel. The affected to a synth like this one is very good, it is easy to play on it and you feel comfortable.

    I have since January 2011, but I had tested with a friend who has one for years ... I fell absolutely in love (the keyboard of course ...)
    In the analog I tested the MS2000 is very good but nothing to do ... (I want to do there ...)

    Which sucks Roland, that there is no knob, unlike Moog or MS20, MS2000. But otherwise it is great !!!

    I would do without this choice problem. Tomorrow he has a breakdown and was told that it is irreparable I ra-a cheterais directly.

    To correct some erroneous opinion, this synth is not analog. COD ... Polyphony Digital are very limited for tablecloths. Otherwise everything is said.

    SOUNDS

    Sounds with a typical grain synths mid 80s, nothing extraordinary, MKS-50 is as well and with a reasonable price ... The effects (chorus) his cousin Juno-60 are much higher!

    I agree with the previous notification that the reliability is poor, I owned two Juno-106 and 2 had defects (one was bought in new condition), namely contacts keys that were deteriorating, sliders spitting, audio outputs that let loose ...

Also the price is completely absurd, it's not worth more than 200 or 300 euros depending on the state. A fad that people follow, it will happily!

    UTILIZATION

    SOUNDS

    I have not seen many people emphasize the strings or whatever, but I think he does a very nice tablecloths and not that powerful bass or transcendent leads ... well ill just program it.

    Objectively the Juno 106 is really good both sound level that ergonomics issue but it's not that reliable at all !!

    Everything said above ...

    UTILIZATION

    Very easy to use, this is not the DX7 ...

    SOUNDS

    Sounds very typical 80s, pop, new wave, contrary to what is often said, the juno 106 analog sounds since already at the base is an analog and true!
    Of course, he did not attack a prophet 5, treble, and dissonance an ARP, but the price is not the same either!
    But it sounds much better than many copies of old synths out for a few years ...
    tablecloths are have a huge spectrum and heat (with the chorus of course), crystalline treble and bass (even more in unison mode) sub and very captivating.

    OVERALL OPINION

    mix with vst or other digital synths, it is immediately ahead and surprised by his presence.
    J I'm used to a lot of songs and I have never been disappointed
    I just regret that there have no true second oscillator parameters to dissoner sound, but as I said above, this is not a P5 or an ARP ...
    I think it is a good synth for someone who wants a first analog
    Positive, a little fiddling, you can use this synth as chorus just by plugging in another synth above .... and the chorus is huge and swollen juno sound awesomely

    This is an analog synthesizer (DCO to be precise, Digitally Controlled Oscillator) in the early 80.Il has 6 voices, memories (128) but not arpeggiator. This is a keyboard that was prevalent at the time. You could even buy at FNAC, and yes, it existed .... There is a stereo chorus, which adds a lot to the sound, although it breath a little - it's part of the Juno-106! It is equipped noon, one of the first at the time.

    UTILIZATION

    It is very simple to use, like most analog keyboards. A = slider function. It acts on the sounds in real time, no mouse, windows, mac, ipad .... this is fabulous.

    SOUNDS

    The sounds are great, the analog is incomparable. Of course this is a big …

    SOUNDS

    The sounds are great, the analog is incomparable. Of course this is a big unless its a Moog or ARP, but the possibilities are enormous, and there are plenty of finesse. The filter is very good.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Like all ancient instruments, there may be technical problems, but nothing is irreparable. A keyboard like this with memories and MIDI is incomparable. The DCO are that the agreement is very stable, no worries on that side.
    I have a lot of old keyboards for all brands, and frankly, the Juno-106 worth.

    What can I say except that this subtractive deserves its reputation. It is in my studio controlled by a Mac via a MOTU 8pre. I mostly use it for bass or electro leads.

    UTILIZATION

    It is a machine super intuitive seen how we can wipe the sounds in all directions via potentiometers. By itself, the PWM slider is able to transform a music box of his baby in a Lead scathing right thickness. So when you touch the filter, it becomes pure happiness.

    SOUNDS

    Great for electro, obviously terrible for the 80's sounds, and some organs like "Cathedral" are breathtaking. AH yes, the breath, there are a few active as soon as the chorus, it's the only downside of the machine in my opin…

    OVERALL OPINION

    This is a machine that was broken. I told myself that I shall attempt a repair. AND although I do not regret it a shot. All 6 channels are always original, I have just spent with acetone and then I have realigned the beast with a procedure that I found on the NET. Now it sounds better before the failure. Briefly saw his rating from Argus today I am very glad I bought in 1990 for 5,000 francs (about 125 €, 830 FF) time. This is the first pro synth I bought and I never am never separated.

    I own the 106 for over 15 years is a machine very reliable and robust with a very nice grain. However the limited possibilities of modulations (lfo 1seul, a single envelope) do not make some typical effects or stamps that can be achieved with a monster like the Waldorf Q or with plugins synths. personnelemnt I no longer use it since lgtps, I keep to the subject and the collector side. I much prefer my blofeld or the Logic ES2, or NI Massive Dune and Synapse.
    In short, a great collector's item that can acquire more for fun than for utility. Bcp plugin sonnet as well and offer much more possibilities.

    UTILIZATION

    One thing is clear: it is super easy to use, in large part to the unique casing and osc
    This makes it convenient and attractive: I turn it all the time, was making sounds in no time oeuil, save in the box, played on the sequencer ..
    the keyboard is wide (5 octaves) and pleasant
    it gives me a reference on ergonomics

    SOUNDS

    I used almost exclusively for its ground .. they are super type but that's why I love that sound. I played in the medium, they create a unique space environment
    in the treble sounds a little too metal for an analog
    about low utliisable yeah it, but there's better, I also have a pro one and there's no picture!
    the cut off is radical (you must be very precise), the resonance is a winner
    well to the sweep
    too surprising when it is sequenced in rapid arpeggios (I like the portamento)
    in fact it appears rather well in a mix
    it seems that it sounds less "hot" that his brothers Juno 6 and 60

    OVERALL OPINION

    I did well, and I miss,
    ay think I turned to the juno 60, in which the arpeggio +, and vintage look good with wooden sides ..
    but still the 106 is a great machine, "all in one" with its many features, its simplicity makes it very user friendly, and this sound, to some use.
    price or it is found ca the blow is altogether

    I just wanted to remember that this is MIDI synth (unlike its big brothers (6 & 60). The MIDI implementation is more comprehensive (able to control all the parameters, which for the time I think is quite exceptional) .

    UTILIZATION

    Np

    SOUNDS

    AAaaaah! it's good ...
    I think even the next "digital" (the oscillator) I like on that one. Except, go to the LFO is a little dry ...
    But sounds "wicked" is impeccable

    OVERALL OPINION

    It kicks 4 true
