Jun-6 V

Instant analog love

Jun-6 V is pure analog spirit presented on a silver platter. Modeled on the legendary Juno-6, its immediate colossal sound remains awe-inspiring to this day - optimized and enhanced for the modern music maker.

Jun-6 V combines beautiful polysynth thickness with an ultra-easy interface to satisfy your analog needs from the very first note. Its simple controls, accessible creative features, and modern enhancements make it an essential keyboard that you’ll just keep coming back to.

Jun-6 V’s sound

Chords that'll shake the foundations, textures that'll illuminate the sky, and unison bass that'll leave your audience speechless. When you want instant mix-filling analog fatness, Jun-6 V is the answer. Your ticket to no-nonsense ‘80s synth glory.

Simplifying polyphony

Jun-6 V channels the instant-access polyphonic formula that put the Juno series on the map, making massive chords and real analog textures easier than ever to find in your DAW.

The stereo synth

With stereo outputs and a built-in chorus circuit that’s almost as iconic as the synth itself. Jun-6 V creates extra-wide sounds that’ll fill out your mix in no time.

Analog remade

Using our exclusive TAE® technology, every circuit and part of this polysynth icon has been re-engineered to behave just like the original, putting authentic Juno sound in your hands.

Iconic, irresistible

The sounds made famous by countless artists for the past 4 decades, from Eurythmics to Enya, New Order to The Weeknd, captured in a singularly faithful softsynth.

Polyphony
to the masses

Jun-6 V's hardware predecessor was released at a time when a polyphonic synth was a luxury. Many consider the Juno series to have struck a rare and perfect balance when it comes to synthesizer design. Their ease of use, vivid analog sound, and relative affordability helped put the coveted multi-voiced within reach of a bigger audience.

Simple layouts, DCO tuning stability, and deceptively massive sound. The Juno family left a lasting impression on the music world. From the glossy pop stylings of A-ha, to the signature sci-fi atmospheres of Vangelis, to being a pivotal character on the Chicago house scene, their influence was undeniable.

The first model, the Juno-6, was unveiled in 1982, at a time when synthesizers were expanding and competing for broader sound palettes, a higher voice count, more controls. This was just a year after the release of Roland’s polysynth behemoth, the Jupiter-8.

Discover the history of Juno

Pure
analog spirit

The Juno synths were notoriously easy to use - Jun-6 V is no different.

From the minute you open it up, you’ll be in familiar synthesis territory, from the simplicity of DCOs to the instant stereo glory of BBD chorus. Dial in a dynamite sound that’s true to the original in no time.

01. Voice Calibration

To bring you the authentic Juno experience, we even went to the lengths of offering different levels of analog voice dispersion. Subtle variations in condition and voltage sometimes meant that each voice was very slightly different, from filter cutoff to VCA envelope attack. Choose a level of analog drift to suit your taste - squeaky clean, rough around the edges, or somewhere in the middle.

02. Back to the arpeggiator

Jun-6 V takes the classic arpeggiator formula back to basics, so you can instantly weave driving hypnotic patterns on the fly, just like the good old days. Put aside complex multi-mode arp algorithms - simplicity and musicality is the aim of the game.

Arpeggiator in action

Sometimes all you need is a simpel up & down arpeggio to get your track moving. Jun-6 V’s arpeggiator brings immediate colorful synth-pop vibes.

03. Double-barrelled filter

There are filters, and there are filters. Jun-6 V perfectly emulates the simple yet refined sculpting capabilities of its ‘80s ancestor. Go for bubbling low-pass warmth, dynamic high-pass tension, or a combination of the two.

VCF (low-pass)

Enjoy Jun-6 V’s beautiful -24db low-pass resonant filter; one sweep and you’ll be hooked.

HPF (high-pass)

A sweep of the non-resonant high-pass filter illustrates how it smooths out your lower frequencies and is a great tension-and-release tool.

04. Let’s talk about chorus

The classic dual chorus that’s almost as famous as the synthesizers it's synonymous with. Jun-6 V’s chorus boasts the same authentic BBD character and subtle stereo spread for an irresistibly warm cinematic sound.

Chords sequence

With Chord Mode, a simple dotted-eighth melodic pattern can become a full mix-filling accompaniment, complete with individually-assigned diatonic chord voicings.

Complex,
meet simple

Jun-6 V represents the virtual rebirth of a classic; it doesn’t end there though.

We’ve expanded this polysynth icon with just enough extra modulation & FX tricks to enhance its sound without compromising its signature simplicity.

The Juno 6 was renowned for its simplicity. Meticulously-modeled DCOs (digitally controlled oscillators) kept everything in tune, with a dynamite blend of square, ramp, sub, and noise. Your sound was shaped by a simple but effective twin filter setup. Add an LFO, an ADSR envelope, and a 3-mode stereo chorus, and you’ve got yourself a Juno. We took this familiar formula and cranked it up a few notches - how? We’re glad you asked...

Enhanced expression,
enhanced performance

Jun-6 V is a hands-on, express-yourself kinda synthesizer, with an irresistible sound that begs to be played over and over - it doesn’t end there though.

We’ve expanded this polysynth icon with just enough extra modulation & FX tricks to enhance its sound without compromising its signature tactile simplicity.

01. Modwheel, Velocity & aftertouch

With the Modwheel, tweak the LFO intensity for the DCO and/or VCF, or assign to a destination of your choice. Assign Velocity or AfterTouch to a modulation destination of your choice for dynamic movement that responds to every touch.

02. Expanded modulation

One envelope has become two, and a second multi-waveform LFO has been added to the mix. The second ADSR envelope features two freely assignable destinations, as does LFO 2. Perfectly accessible modulation that adds just enough movement without detracting from Jun-6 V’s hands-on playability.

LFO2

A sample & hold waveform modulating the VCF cutoff frequency, bringing dynamic random movement to a static vintage-sounding patch.

03. Delay & Reverb

On the FX front, you’ll find some additional spacious reverb and delay. This simple addition takes Jun-6 V’s unmistakably vintage sound and sets it up for contemporary application. Cinematic ambience, stadium-sized pop chords, and bouncing trap lead lines are all within reach.

Pulsing reverb

Using Jun-6 V’s modulation controls, you’re able to turn modern digital FX into composition tools. Here, the reverb dry/wet is being gradually modulated for moving ambience.

04. Chord Mode

transform every note into a full-sounding chord, and choose from 12 voicings including your own custom voicing

3 Mode Chorus

Cycling through dry, mode I, mode II, and the ‘secret’ mode 3, with its original mono sound and faster modulation rate. Lush.

05. Bender & Unison

exactly what you think it is. Again, hardwired to the DCO and VCF for instant pitch bends and dynamic build-ups. Unison assigns multiple voices to a single note for condensed fatness, perfect for pumping bass arps or red-hot leads - choose your density and detune to taste.

Hear it
in action

Jun-6 V gets put to the test. In the hands of sound designers, composers, and musicians of all styles, it comes into its own - witness the true power of this polysynth legend.

Dub Juno

An Ambient dub track using 7 instances of the Jun-6V and some external drums sounds and effects for the dub mix. (Arturia Spring reverb and Tape delay + Mutron Phaser)

Goddess Strikes Back

80’s mood brought back thanks to Juno's unique personality. Aside from the drums section, everything was made using the Jun-6V (even the "heartbeat" percussion).

Mr Sprinkles Fingers

Classic house track inspired by the work of Mr Fingers and Dj sprinkles using 6 Juno-6V instances and external drums sequences.

Ride The Train

An homage to the golden era of the analog synth funk of 1982, which use 15 instance of the Jun-6 V. Appart from eq and compression, all the effects come from the Jun-6 V. The drums come from early sample based drum machines.

Seaside Escapade

Suspenseful ambient piece using the new Jun-6V presets and 2 Multis from Analog Lab V. All compression, reverb and delay effects are plugins from Arturia.

Smooth Six

This track starts off as a smooth R&B tune, featuring a classic Juno synth brass. Using Jun6-Vs modulation capabilities, the track builds to a future-bass style drop that puts the vintage-sounding ‘Resorgan’ preset in a modern context. Twenty-seven instances of Jun6-V were used in the production of this track.

Summer 83

This one is a bit complicated, because we really don't know in what category this fits the best. I think it borrows something from Down Tempo (Chill-Out) and Electronic genres (Chillwave) and perhaps even some Ambient (New Age). We used number of 13 Jun-6V instances for this track. Everything is made with Jun-6, this includes drums.
