The Roland JU-06A is a compact digital synth that recreates two vintage JUNO models, the JUNO-60 and JUNO-106, in one instrument. You switch between the two filter and PWM behaviors from the front panel, and both chorus circuits are modeled, including the adjustable noise of the originals. It runs on batteries, has a built-in speaker, and uses metal panels and sliders, so it suits players who want classic JUNO tones in a small, road-ready box. Against the original vintage synths it trades the full keyboard and analog components for portability and reliability, and against Roland's other Boutique models it is the one built around the JUNO sound specifically.

It combines the continuous high-pass filter of the 106 with the envelope-controllable pulse-width modulation of the 60. The filter behavior of both models can be switched from the front panel. The chorus is recreated with its adjustable noise.
