Building upon the success of the JU-06, the Roland Boutique JU-06A Synthesizer Module is a recreation of the iconic JUNO-60 and JUNO-106 synthesizers. The new 4-voice JU-06A module features complements from both iconic synthesizers including the continuous high-pass filter of the 106, the envelope-controllable pulse-width-modulation of the 60, and the unique filter behavior of both, instantly switchable from the front panel. All parameters are controllable via the front panel and deliver that classic JUNO sound, complete with the highly sought-after JUNO chorus effect.
The JU-06A features an arpeggiator and a step sequencer plus chord memory. This allows for the creation of sequenced lines with chord memory, resulting in thick polyphonic phrases. The instrument easily plays and syncs with just about any piece of gear thanks to the USB audio/MIDI and full-sized MIDI jacks. Additionally, the clock output allows you to connect analog gear such as vintage analog instruments or modern Eurorack systems. The clock input syncs the onboard sequencer of the JU-06A, which can result in unexpected phrases, rhythmic variations, and other happy accidents.

Two Classic JUNOs in One
The JU-06A is the best of the JUNO-60 and JUNO-106 in one synth. It has the continuous high-pass filter of the 106, the envelope-controllable pulse-width modulation of the 60, and the unique filter behavior of both, instantly switchable from the front panel. The sound is indistinguishable from its vintage counterparts, even while tweaking controls or using extreme settings. And no vintage JUNO would be complete without the swirling sound of its legendary chorus, faithfully recreated, right down to the lovable (and thankfully adjustable) noise
Arpeggio, Chord Memory, and Step Sequencer
While you may prefer the filter of the JUNO-106, you might miss the arpeggio function on the JUNO-60. The JU-06A has both and throws in chord memory and an onboard sequencer to boot
MIDI, USB and External Clock Input
USB audio/MIDI and full-sized MIDI jacks for playing and synchronizing with just about any piece of gear. External clock input to sync to vintage analog instruments or modern Eurorack systems. Using an external clock to drive the onboard sequencer can result in unexpected phrases, rhythmic variations, and other happy accidents
Optional K-25m Keyboard Unit
The JU-06A works especially well with the K-25m, an optional 25-key velocity sensitive keyboard that takes your music making to the next level. Once docked in the keyboard, the module s front panel adjusts to any of three positions for convenient access to the knobs and sliders
Battery or USB Bus Power
Some of the best music is made away from the studio, so the Roland Boutique series runs on 4 AA batteries, ready for when inspiration strikes. Alternatively, you can power the JU-06A via USB bus power
