Up for sale, a 1980s Roland Juno-106 analog synthesizer in exceptional condition, complete with a hardshell case. Freshly serviced by Synapse Audio Systems, this Juno functions exactly as intended, outfitted with new voice chips, calibrated and loaded with the factory presets. The Juno 106 is one of the most enduringly popular Roland synths of the '80s, virtually the same synth engine as its predecessor the Juno 60, yet with extensive MIDI capability and over twice the patch memory storage (128 patches).
The Juno-106 is a six-voice polyphonic and programmable analog synth with one digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) per voice. The Juno-106 uses built-in Chorus to fatten up its sound to dramatic effect too. The nature of the Juno's DCO results in a sound that is stable, always in perfect tune, but still warm and analog. The Juno features an excellent 24dB/oct analog lowpass filter with plenty of resonance and self-oscillating possibilities as well as a non-resonant high pass filter. The programmable pitch/mod bender can be assigned to control the DCO pitch, VCF cutoff, and LFO amount all at once or individually.
All functions and features of this Juno operate as intended. A keyboard originally designed for sale within Japan, a new 120v power transformer has been installed, along with a new IEC power cable receptacle with chassis ground. This is a clean example, with cosmetic wear limited to just a few minor marks on the enclosure. The graphics are pristine, the key caps are bright white, and all slider caps and knobs are intact.
A vintage light duty Japanese hardshell case is included.
