The Roland Boutique JU-06A is a compact synthesizer sound module that combines the sound and features of the vintage Juno-60 and Juno-106. It has the Juno-106's continuous high-pass filter and the Juno-60's envelope-controllable pulse-width modulation. The filter behavior of both synths can be switched from the front panel. The chorus is recreated with its adjustable noise.
The JU-06A has metal panels and sliders with metal shafts, in a vintage-style design. It runs on batteries and has a built-in speaker. It also includes an arpeggio function, chord memory and an onboard step sequencer. Chord memory can be used with the sequencer to create polyphonic phrases.
USB audio/MIDI, full-sized MIDI jacks and an external clock input let it connect and sync with other gear. This includes vintage analog instruments and eurorack systems. It can be controlled from a master keyboard or a DAW.
