General
Not many synths were as popular in the '80s as the Roland Junos; specifically, the Juno-106. They were affordable and easy to operate, and despite the fact that Junos had pretty basic functionality, they sounded great. Many Junos were produced and used as work horses in studios and on stage. The great strength of the Juno was that anyone could use it! With the JU-06 Boutique synthesizer module, Roland brings back that glory and class, this time in a very compact housing and boasting cutting-edge technology.
Characteristics of the Roland JU-06 Boutique
In its core, the JU-06 features a single oscillator with sawtooth or block wave, adjustable pulse width and octave, as well as LFO depth, a sub-oscillator and a noise oscillator. There is one ADSR envelope, which also functions as a low-pass and loudness filter (adjustable), and has resonance, adjustable polarity, envelope thickness, keyboard tracking and LFO depth as well. When using pads, for example, you can choose from two chorus effects, including that specific chorus that made Juno famous!
Performance
You get 64 patches to work with (8 x 8), although the real synth specialists will want to create their own sounds, of course. Creating sounds is as easy as pie, a logical result of this compact synthesis model. Adjust the pitch and modulation by using the two ribbon strips on the left side. The JU-06 is a module, so it's worth considering the corresponding (optional) K25m, a small 25-key weighted mini keyboard on which you can mount the JU-06 (and the other Boutique modules).
Tips or comments about this product- Please note: this product is only the module. The K-25m keyboard shown is sold separately.

In the Boutique box, you will find four batteries included. A USB adapter, however, is not included.

J'ai possédé un Juno 106, que l'on m'a volé.
Très satisfait de sa réplique sous le non de JU-06.
Le son typique du Juno 106.
Seul (très) petit bémol, le 106 disposé du double de mémoire utilisateur, 136 si mon souvenir et bon, tandis que la il n'y en as que 68. Néanmoins, on peut bien évidement enregistré ses sons sur ordinateur.
Autre (très) petit bémol, il y avait des présets d'usine que l'on ne retrouve pas ici.
En conclusion; très bon produit à acheter les yeux fermés si l'on est un adepte du 106 et de l'analogique.

Monday 11 January 2016Another rumour is rapidly spreading throughout the synthesizer community!

Monday 11 January 2016The image below recently turned up on the internet. Based on the text and the accompanying specifications, we assume that Casio is trying to lure us to their NAMM booth so they can present their latest keyboard/synthesizer: the MZ-X. This will likely remind keyboard enthusiasts of the MZ-2000, an old Casio model that, considering the words 'Reinvented, Reimagined, Reborn' is apparently about to be brought back to life. Rumour has it that two models will be released, the MZ-500 and the MZ-1000, but take that with a grain of salt; it's very possible that MZ-X is indeed the final name for this workstation.

Tuesday 12 January 2016Late last year, Electro Harmonix introduced the Crash Pad Analog Drum Synth, and at NAMM 2016 they'll be unleashing the Super Space Drum. Where the Crash Pad creates electronic cymbal sounds, the Space Drum generates a typically '80s drum sound - electronic yet warm and full of character. It can be used as either a standalone unit, or in combination with a looper or clock generator, for instance.
