if Roland re-issued this unit at an affordable price - i.e. not more than $1499 - I think they'd sell a ton. The sounds, layout and overall look are where it's at right now.

It would be nicer from Reverb to clarify that the givaway is only for US residents before we gave you our emails... (EDIT: it's in the video description)

Another option is the Roland System 8, which - along with the the main synth, which is already pretty versatile - morphs into a Jupiter 8, a Juno and a JX-3P at the push of a button. The lights just go out on any parameters those synths didn’t have. I’m pretty old and can remember attending some sort of synthesiser open day at a local hotel in England in 1982, where they had The first Juno, the Korg Monopoly and somebody demo-ing a DX7. I think the my attitude at the time was that one oscillator made them a poor man’s polysynth. Eventually, I got a JX-3P, which had two but you had to painstakingly program it one parameter at a time, unless you bought a separate programmer with the knobs.

As an iPad musician, TAL-U-NO-LX is my favorite Juno and my favorite iPadOS synth. I think I’ll eventually get a Ju-06 because it can be used as a MIDI controller for TAL for programming it with hardware sliders.

yep! have you checked out the Soundforce SFC-60 V3? It’s a midi controller made exactly for TAL-U-NO-LX. It’s bigger but gets it’s power from the iPad.

@@RobertFisher1969Nice! Yeah, I own the Minimoog model for my iPhone; i love it. I prefer this setup over any portable synthesizer because I can save my melodies as MIDI via GarageBand iOS. When I get home, I then MIDI OUT from my iPhone (iRig Midi 2 + RouteMidi app within GarageBand iOS) -> to any hardware synth that has MIDI IN. Fun setup. Cheers from Chicago✌️

@@partymarty6969 Right! I find it really hard to justify getting more hardware synths when we have so many great softsynths on the iPad & iPhone.

Why isnt the AIRA S-1 on the list? I know its supposed to be an SH-101 clone, but it is way more than that: It has a very similar featureset like the Junos, even comes with their legendary chorus, is polyphonic and fully tweakable in contrast to the AIRA J-6, so it is actually the better option for a low-budget Juno-ish sound.

I was never a great fan of single voice architecture, but I suppose they have their place. I used it on a recording exactly once.

Hello @Reverb the LFO delay time was part of the ARP 2600 (with its 3620 keyboard for example) far before the Junos. :) That said I LOVE my Juno-6 (and my 2600 FS). ❤

If had to only pick 3 synths to for the rest of my life it would be 1. Juno 106 2. Waldorf Q keyboard 3. Alesis Ion (very under rated synth, I had owed 2 of them and sold them. It was a dream to program. I also owned the ruby red Waldorf Q+ 100 voice and 16 analog filters. I could kick my self for selling that one. But never owned a Juno 106 and would love to!

We bought these because we didn’t have the money for a Jupiter 6/8 or other branded poly synths. Like the DX7, they gave you a chance to play in a band where a mono synth was not useful. These were nobody’s dream synth and no amount of nostalgia changes the limits they have. The most ordinary synths currently made be it software or hardware will give you far more options and sound better.

Having owned one of those noise generators, I am so happy to live in Europe now 😂. Roland made a copy of it in the Uno X, and guess what, they added the noise as an option would you believe it. Even in my SP 404 Juno Chorus if I'm right. And it's feeble one-dimensional sound engine. The most overhyped synth in history. When it came out, it was ripped to pieces in Musik Maker, and boy, they were right. But have fun with it.
