The sound and control of a Juno-106, the size of a book.

The limited-edition JU-06 is an authentic recreation of the iconic Juno-106 synthesizer. Sometimes described as one of the last great synths of the analog era, the Juno-106 became a favorite thanks to its warm sounds and instant sound-shaping ability. The new 4-voice JU-06 module continues this approach, with 23 parameters controllable via the front panel and that classic Juno sound complete with the much-loved Juno chorus effect. There are some new additions too, including a faster LFO and continuously variable hi-pass filter (HPF). You can even slide the JU-06 into the optional K-25m keyboard unit (sold separately) for a self-contained, go-anywhere synth experience.


  • Ultra-compact recreation of the iconic Juno-106 synthesizer

  • Retains the feel, sound character and user interface of the original

  • 23 of the original synth parameters controllable from the front panel

  • Adds several additions not found on the original Juno-106, including a faster LFO and continuously variable HPF

  • Chain mode allows two JU-06 to function as one 8-voice module

  • Highly portable for mobile music making

  • High-quality construction with metal front panel

  • Dual ribbon controllers for pitch bend, modulation, and sound preview

  • Battery-operated (4xAA) or USB powered

  • 24 bit / 44.1 kHz stereo IN/OUT USB audio interface

  • Built-in 0.5W mini-speaker for instant enjoyment

  • Compatible with optional K-25m keyboard unit

Great sound - very very close to a 106. Indistinguishable in many cases.

Don't believe the negative reviewer here. I know him and he is negative and bitter. This thing rocks.

Honestly I cannot say how close this is to a real JUNO 106. That being said, I can say that this is an excellent synth in its own right. Well featured, good output, its layout is intuitive for sound design, and the sequencer, chorus and delay are very nice. Its compact so you can keep it out on a desk, which lets you start it up whenever you're in the mood for noodling. Additionally, the ability to record it via USB is pretty cool too; no interface is needed. I will say the build quality is a little flimsy and the ribbon switches are really not that useful, and with the k-25m add-on it doesn't look that nice. However, the throw on the switches are quite good and the LEDs look very appealing. Overall, its definitely worth the money, not many polyphonic synths are out there for this price. great for either learning about synthesis or just taking a break from the computer screen. Would recommend.

Obviously it doesn't sound exactly like the real thing but it is very close as I did a direct comparison with the real juno 106 which i own and the ju-106. the 16 step sequencer is very good. There are other comparisons of the real synth and this one online as well. Could be cheaper though.

Does not sound like a real Juno - sound small like a VA which it is. Try the Korg Minilogue if you're looking for analog magic.

Amazing sound (esp. the classic chorus feature) and extra features at a fraction of the price of a Juno 106.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
