ROLAND JU-06A

The JU-06 module, from Roland’s Boutique studio, was a limited-edition module released almost three years ago, which offered a tantalising combination of features from Roland’s legendary Juno range of synthesisers. Ostensibly, it purported to provide the ‘sound’ of the Juno 106, though via its livery and featureset, there was more than a smattering of the even-more-coveted Juno-6 and 60 about it, too. Fast-forward to the here and now and the JU-06A becomes its replacement, with a hybrid design to bring the sound of both the Juno-60 and the 106 to your workflow.

For those frustrated by the ‘limited edition’ nature of the original JU-06, no plans have been announced to cap the number of units Roland will manufacture of this unit. Lesson
