01Overview

Roland's JUNO-60 is one of the best-known vintage synths, and much of its character comes from its analog stereo chorus. This plugin models that effect for use in a DAW, with three chorus modes: a gentle shimmer, a deeper and wider setting, and a more exaggerated swirl. Although it was built around the JUNO-60's sound, it can also be applied to sources beyond keyboards. It runs on Windows and macOS, with native support for Apple silicon.

Sound and Character of the JUNO-60 Chorus

The plugin is a genuine Roland recreation of the stereo chorus used in the JUNO-60. Roland describes the effect as central to the synth's voice, helping a single oscillator and sub-oscillator sound fuller than their basic structure would suggest.

Each of the three chorus modes is modeled in detail, and variable analog noise is included for a retro feel. The result is a sense of depth and dimension added to any input.

Workflow and Use Beyond Keyboards

The preset interface is kept deliberately simple, with three distinct chorus sounds to choose from. That keeps the focus on the effect itself rather than on a large set of parameters.

Because the effect adds fullness and movement, it can also be placed on guitar, bass and vocals, not only on keyboard parts. Roland's developer notes say the effect works well across these other sources as well.
