The Roland Boutique JU-06A is a compact synthesizer sound module that recreates both the Juno-60 and the Juno-106. It has vintage-style looks, metal panels and sliders with metal shafts. It runs on batteries and has a built-in speaker, so it can be used on the go.
It combines the 106's continuous high-pass filter with the 60's envelope-controllable pulse-width modulation. The filter behavior of both synths can be switched from the front panel. The chorus is recreated along with its noise, which can be adjusted.
It also has an arpeggio function, chord memory and an onboard step sequencer. USB audio/MIDI, full-size MIDI jacks and an external clock input let it connect with other gear. It can be controlled from a master keyboard or a DAW.
