Roland Juno-106 1

The must-have Juno-106 is regularly stocked for sale here at Soundgas and fully serviced by our in-house techs, with Analogue Renaissance voice chips fitted, power supply re-capped, all sliders and pots cleaned, switches replaced as needed. Factory presets are then restored and all functions tested both during the service and again before shipping.

This classic 6 voice polyphonic synthesizer is analog but with digitally controlled oscillators and chorus effects. Whereas its predecessor, the Juno-60, has 56 patches, the Juno-106 has 128. It introduced Roland's performance lever for pitch bends and modulation, which became a standard feature, as well as being one of the first analog synthesizers to allow users to sequence parameter changes. Artists who have used the Juno-106 include everyone from Frankie Goes to Hollywood to Tangerine Dream.

The synth's popularity continues today, especially with dance and electronic music producers and artists such as Tame Impala, Calvin Harris, Armin Van Buuren, Mark Ronson,Caribou among many others. The Juno-106 remains one of the bestselling synthesizers, for very good reason.
