I really appreciate the feedback, it means a lot. Glad it was helpful!

In the meantime, TAL's Jup8 plugin would be an affordable alternative. I'm saying that as a user of it and the Arturia J8 plugs.

Thank you!

I considered including the Tyrell in my roundup, but decided to try and stay with plugins more true to the original synth. The Tyrell is a great plugin though and I can't believe it's free too. Yes, you can never have too many Juno plugins!

The Roland cloud version closest though :). U can buy it outright.

I liked that version, just not Roland's cloud.

The Snappy Envelopes would make a great band name!

Great feedback on the Juno 60 vs 106! I've also owned a number of Jupiters (6's and an 8). Used to buy used Jupiter-6's for around $600! That was the late 80's and 90's. Crazy prices now. Used Juno-106's would go for $250. I miss those days.

It is the other way around , Juno 60 sounds rounder ,softer and less edgy than a 106 , basically a 106 sat better in a mix when using multiple sounds from it

@@WorshipBlender every day of the week you could buy all mono analogs for 100 to 150 including the rare ones , 600 for a jp6 was quite top money , i used to buy oberheims for that between 1986- 1990

Thank you for the feedback. TAL is a good choice.

Tal isn't shit. But Roland has more authentic sounding Juno 60 and Juno 106 vst's. They're available without a subscription. Single payment option.

Thank you. Agreed on the Model 84 - would have definitely included it if it was on my radar at the time. I'm not sure when it came out, but it only recently came to my attention.

@@WorshipBlender came out April this year i believe but might be wrong

Yes, it looks very good and it's on my radar to review at some point. Thank you for the feedback!

I do like and own the Roland 106 VST however how can you like Roland Cloud Manager? It's an archaic way to own VST software. They force you to log in every now and then so you can use your VST.

@@thegodsrockstar i’m agree with you; RCM nicely worked without log-in (only one time a month) but since some days (or weeks) log-in is all the time. I hope Roland change this problem.

I also liked Roland's cloud version of the SH2 - had never played a real one before and liked the experience.

I now also own the Arturia plugin too.

Agreed - it showed up too late on the scene for the review. Or at least I wasn't aware of it until after I did the review.

Thank you for the good feedback. All the Arturia plugins are pricy on their own - but their value is when bought as part of the full V Collection. I think I got the Arturia Juno, Moog Vocoder, Oberheim OBXa and a few others as part of the V Collection 8 upgrade for like $49. So in that regard it makes the Arturia version the most affordable. Honestly though, all of them are good. Believe it or not I still like using the freebie TAL Juno at times because it has it's own vibe going for it.

@@WorshipBlender Hello and thanks for answering! Wow, $49 by the V Collection is really a steal and for this price I *certainly* would buy a copy of it (the same package is costing $599 now 😥). For coincidence I *just* bought one of their small controllers (the Minilab 3) and seems that it's coming with the Analog Lab Intro that includes a selection of nice 500 presets from the V Collection. Being only a home self producer composing and recording my own stuff I think that I will wait until it arrives and try it before buying anything else. However, had been an owner of an actual Juno-106 myself decades ago, probably I think I won't escape from purchasing a couple of the awesome emulators from Cherry Audio. I am still interested in the DCO-106 and the Mercury 4 looks like to be simply stellar.

@@Motocicleiros Hopefully I didn't mislead you on the V Collection pricing. I meant once you're in their eco system (I had V Collection 6 and V Collection 4) you can upgrade for cheap and get lots of new stuff at discount. Using Black Friday sales and whatnot you can also get into V Collection a lot cheaper to begin with. As a long time Arturia customer with V Collection I got Pigments at a super discount price and have gotten free upgrades to it since. However, since you just got MiniLab 3, technically you're in their eco system now, so you should make sure your stuff is registered on their website and watch for deals. Side note, I have the MiniLab 3 as well and did a review of it on this channel about 2 months ago. It's a fun little controller. As for AnalogLab, it is a fantastic library of sounds. It has always been a bit buggy for me on the older versions and a bit bloated on all versions I have used. But it will give you a great overview of the Arturia plugins. I also have been looking at the Mercury 4 plug from CA too, just haven't pulled the trigger on it yet. That looks like a fun synth and a great deal.

TAL has a free version that is simpler. I mostly focus on the paid version in my review.

The Model 84 I missed for the review as I learned about it afterward. If doing again, I would include it. I have the U-He Tyreil and Diva, which both do Juno sounds well, but I decided not to include them as I was going for more 1-to-1 Juno clones.

Yes indeed - It looks like a legit 1-to-1 representation. I plan to try it out.

These are plugins. You will need a plugin host or DAW to use them, unless they have a standalone option, like the Arturia one does.

Actually, I'm a long time Arturia user - started using Arturia plugins around 2006 and just upgraded from V6 to V8, so now I have the Arturia Juno as well. Some of my issues may have been with the demo version, but I haven't had a chance to confirm yet. I still like the Tal the most, but that's just personal preference. I agree that Arturia makes great stuff!

No doubt the Juno is a basic synth, but that's it's charm! Thank you for your feedback.

If I where to redo the review the Softube would definitely be in it. Unfortunately, it wasn't available (that I was aware of) at the time. I think it came out a short time later.

I wish the Model 84 was available when I did the review - I certainly would have included it.

You can use it for whatever genres you want - Junos are used in all styles.

Juno Sparkles - I think you have a good band name there!

@@WorshipBlender except if you aren't into juno's :)

Softube Juno is the best

I never truly liked Tal UNO either. It simply doesn't sound authentic enough.

That's too bad.

Not D50

@@jackcimino8822 because it does nothing :-) (it is a digital software machine running on a computer, it needs far less computation power than emulating real electronic components of an analog synth. Roland worked very well on the emulation side but definitively not on the CPU usage, all Roland VST are CPU ogres you're right).

That's a newer one that has come to my attention and I'm very interested to check it out.

It's official then. ;-)

I did

Good points!

Fair enough.

Like shit in a good or bad way? :D

@@skyshifter5796 they all have that "Arturia" sound to it. very unrealistic and uninspiring sounding.

Holy smokes finally someone with the same word for word description of Arturia soft synths. The only exception is the dx-7. I feel they do a pretty good job of that (it’s a digital synth anyways) but their analog emulations are uninspiring. Such a perfect word to describe them.

@@Genital.Wartzenegger you’re welcome :) yes, the DX7 was the only that I liked 😜
