Introduced in 1984 as an affordable polyphonic synthesizer for the masses, the JUNO-106 went far beyond its humble beginnings to become one of the most beloved instruments of all time — and for good reason. It delivers powerful basses, delicate plucked tones, and shimmering pads that sit perfectly in any mix, while its built-in chorus has earned legendary status. With the JUNO-106 Software Synthesizer, Roland faithfully brings the authentic sound and experience of this 1980s icon straight into your studio and favorite DAW.
To recreate the JX-3P for use in DAWs and on the SYSTEM-8, Roland employed its proprietary circuit modeling technology. Through the Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) process, the original hardware units, circuit diagrams, and other historical data were carefully analyzed. Using this information, Roland was able to reproduce the authentic circuit behavior of the vintage instrument—capturing not only its sound but also the beloved quirks and instabilities.
While the E Series was celebrated for its bold and aggressive tone, many studio professionals were seeking a more polished, refined sound. In response, Solid State Logic unveiled the 4000 G, featuring a redesigned mic preamp, the Pink Knob ‘292’ EQ, and a smoother, more sophisticated dynamics section. These innovations transformed the console’s sonic character, offering a cleaner and more controlled sound compared to the rougher edge of the E Series.
