[Dectheboner]

The juno 106 kicks ass

[vdoo84]

Reminds me of Daft Punk, Tron soundtrack especially

[muzikman2008]

Ah!.. i have a Juno 106 and strangely like watching clips on youtube lol.. it must be love! :0)

[Efrenlm10]

Dis tone is phat az Phuck!!!!

[1488slav]

does anyone know if this is the synth that was used for the music in the 80s movie Starman? especially the scene with the deer revival

[cristiroland]

i like the pad:D

[GeneralHoohah]

If I had something like this as a kid, and more exposure to that kind of music... I would have been a sick keyboard player. Instead my parents got me a cheap yamaha with a bunch of lame sound effects, and hired a typical teacher with NO taste in music, who tried to teach me classical and other shit I wasn't interested in at the time. I lost interest in it and never practiced. I really REALLY feel horrible that I missed my chance because of my stupid parents. I don't have the time or money now.

[JoeyRec]

@GeneralHoohah Yea blame your parents for being lazy and not playing, they got you lessons hahaha.

Come on, I just learned keys (I play guitar). You have time, you probably watch at least 5 hours of TV a week so cut that shit out and learn something to better yourself.

[GeneralHoohah]

@JoeyRec You really need to fuck off. When I was a little kid, the way I was exposed to music by the idiots who raised me, pretty much left a horrible impression. All I learned was that I had to play music I hated over and over again, until I felt nauseous. It left a really bad impression on me for a long time. I pretty much ran away from pianos and keyboards till my 20's. Now I'm just too busy with college and other shit on my plate.

I hope parents learn from this story, WHAT NOT TO DO.

Hi!

Gotta love all of your videos! They are amazing!

My 106 seems to have a problem with the filter resonans after I had new voice chips. I can't seem to get all six voices to track even with keyboard tracking when the filter is self-osclating. If I set it to poly 2 mode and only use one voice at the time i am able to play simi tones with it, but when it is in poly 1 mode and I play more then one voice, the voices doesn't tune up together. Do you know how I could fix this?

[LIGHTRONIX]

I rescued one from the garbage at my highschool's music dept. They probably thought it was an old crappy keyboard that didn't work. lucky i.

[slammy102]

wish mine sounded as good.... 2 dead chips :(

[mantax55]

Kavinsky should use this.

[AylatheRaichu]

I've noticed that that the saws, leads and square waves haven't changed much since then. My EXR7-s still has the same sounds you get around about 0:52.

[ArashiNage]

I used to have a Juno106, picked it up in a pawn show pre ebay days for $50! Unfortunately had to sell it when I came upon hard times.

Thanks for the vid!

[Fingermush]

Good video. I've been running an HS-60, to send midi control to a 106. Then I run the audio outputs of the 106 to the inputs on the HS-60. Instant dual oscillator/split.

Massive analog.

[Potoff76]

Very nice sound the pad 2:22 .

[musictec1]

Great Sounds

[TrainmasterCurt]

This almost sounds what Depeche Mode used in the original 1981 song Shout

[marquis0r]

wo kann man solche schätzchen heutzutage noch kaufen? außer ebay...

[DancingEar08]

I miss the 80's. Great sound.

[djessay101]

warm...wärmer...Roland:-)Greee­z + Danke für die schöne Demo:-)

[retrosound72]

@djessay101

dankeschön :)

[Jezzakeat]

i've still got one of these bad boys... never selling it!

[Helderhugo]

I call this demo something like: Ming the merseles and planet Mongo (Flash Gordon 1980) hehe :) Nice sound.

[BenedictRoffMarsh]

More versatile than I realized. I never played one. Thanks.

[mik300z]

Great demo as always Marco, Although I prefer the 6/60 because of their slightly warmer sound, I have to say after watching this it certainly does have a unique feel , a brighter sound maybe. Your 106 sounds great because you would have all the voicechips in top shape. Mine sounds wierd on only 4 voice chips and I can only play it in mono, but it still does amazing filter sweeps and bass. Its such a pity they did not leave the arpeggiator on the 106.

[retrosound72]

@mik300z

Hi Mick,

I also prefer the Juno-60/6. The sounds is more warm and the simple arpeggiator fantastic. But I also like the cleaner plastic sound of the 106.

The Juno synths are all great!

[Akatomie]

Waaooo that's a great machine indeed. Means it's digital but you can affect parameters like on analog synths with designed functional knobsO__O

Machines from this generations are interesting and I'll say that sounds (factory ?) from this model are great and warm^^

Great demo again my friend retro ^______^

[retrosound72]

@Akatomie

Hi Kitkat,

the Juno-106 from the year 1984 is real analog.

very warm sounds, perfect for deep pads and bass sounds

thx a lot

[macleodponeage]

I'd love to get an old roland synth someday...

[rdproductions01]

I like the old Roland Junos and Jupiters. Korg didn't made that good polyphonic synths at that time. Oberheim also made good poly-synths that time. Now, I think Korg has grown bigger then Roland. The sound you can get from a Korg Radias, is just amazing.

Anyway, as always a great demo.

[retrosound72]

@rdproductions01

thank you :)

[Twilight1964]

some lovely sounds there Marko :)

[retrosound72]

@Twilight1964

thank you

[calle68]

I rented one in 1988 for 6 months ... your sounds act as a time machine to me ... thanx!

[sllkduf]

3:29 - 3:25 awesome!!!

[vintagesynthlover]

great sounding 106.

[TheVincentPROduction]

genau den durfte ich letztens auch mal spielen! über youtube kommt der druck leider nicht so gut rüber wegen der compression

trotzdem ne tolle demo!

[retrosound72]

@TheVincentPROduction

thx :)

[jrEarl]

Awesome video...the Juno 106 was an all purpose synthesizer,

[retrosound72]

@jrEarl

thanks

[SLuys89]

how you master them !! i like the melody starting at 2:16

[retrosound72]

@SLuys89

no mastering only a little bit Lexicon MPX delay and reverb and direct record to HD

thx

[VacTrooper]

Nice, but the delay effects you add to some of them sorta take away from the raw sound... VERY good video. Excellent synth. I don't know why I don't have one of these. Oh yeah.... I remember now... :(

[retrosound72]

@VacTrooper

thank you

[TheMadBrunoU]

I love synthesizers

[VenusHeadTrap]

Wow a trip to the 80s and back

[retrosound72]

@VenusHeadTrap

:)

thx

[GCom67]

The Juno6 60 106 are great sounding well made synths!

Have you looked at the new digital Roland SH01 ?

Thanks again Marko great work!

[retrosound72]

@GCom67

Hi Graeme,

thx for your comment. I agree the Juno´s are fantastic synths, simple but with great sound.

I see the new SH01 at the music fair.

[soundmanhaven1]

nice but not the same as juno60

your obx rule here

[retrosound72]

@soundmanhaven1

I like the JU-60 sound also more.

[lukesfx]

super :-) habe gerade heute meinen ultraminten juno 106 mit ner neuen batterie versorgt und die orig patches draufgespielt - bin immer wieder überrascht wie druckvoll der 106 ist - auch wenn ich den 60er weit öfters spiele

lg

[retrosound72]

@lukesfx

Ja die Junos klingen schon fett. Ich mag den 60er auch mehr.

[HoracePL]

very nice example! where did you learn to play?

[TR0jAX]

everybody loves the Juno 106 !

[retrosound72]

@TR0jAX

Juno´s rock :)

[mummstylesound]

Schöne Flächen, das kann der Juno-106 RICHTIG gut, liegt aber zum Teil auch am Chorus.

[OriginalBBQMaster]

Der Juno-106 klingt ziemlich fett, aber nicht so aggressiv wie ein Moog. Toller Sound!

[retrosound72]

@OriginalBBQMaster

Der Juno-106 ist der Meister der feinen Flächensounds. Klingt immer irgendwie nach 80s und schön. Brachiale Klänge sind kaum hinzubekommen.

[OriginalBBQMaster]

@retrosound72

Dass er nach 80s klingt, würde ich noch nicht einmal sagen. Er klingt zeitlos!

[peakstate]

Im a huge fan of the JP-8000. If you digg this thing you will love the 8000!

[peakstate]

Such a great instrument. Long live the oscillator!

[031doolittle]

massive nice tunes again :) Thank you !

[retrosound72]

@031doolittle

:) dankeschön

[drifter7508]

Very nice 106 demo!

[retrosound72]

@drifter7508

thank you

[BabyFacedAssassin301]

sexy!!!

[Jtee27]

Classic synth - just got one. Needed new chip and parts added, but its looking and playing brand spanking new now. The new Juno G is great, and pays homage to this machine, but nothing beats the original.

[halloschalke04]

I made this effects with Styrus Vst Plugin ;)

[pedrogomis]

One of the best synths ever !!!. Great demo.

[retrosound72]

@pedrogomis

thank you

[PsychedelicVideos]

can you do some videos on samplers?

[retrosound72]

@PsychedelicVideos

I have no sampler

[wizardofozbe]

Very nice demo Retro! Keep 'em coming like this, hail to analog machines ;) 5*****

[retrosound72]

@wizardofozbe

thx a lot

[VenjaMusic]

Nice video, with the typical DCO sounds of that time :-)

[retrosound72]

@VenjaMusic

thank you

[STINKOPOOP]

it takes a bit of effort to make a bad sound on a juno.

[retrosound72]

@STINKOPOOP

absolute agree with you

thanks

[maupivetz]

love that '80 flavour!

[retrosound72]
