03In depth

Juno Sounds Built From Sampled Hardware

The instrument draws on three Roland synthesizers: the Juno-60, the Juno-106 and the Alpha Juno 2. Each was sampled through a chain of preamps and converters, including Avalon U5, A-Design Reddi, Focusrite ISA428 and Apogee Rosetta 200 units, along with VoVox Cables. The developer describes the result as a multi-oscillator Juno that lets you layer tones, a capability the original hardware did not offer in the same way.

The sample library contains 15,000 samples, which gives the instrument a broad palette of bass tones and chorused pads. Presets range across this material, so you can start from a finished sound and adjust it to fit a track.

Presets and Library Size for Juno-Style Production

RetroMod 106 includes 291 presets and a total file size of 4.5 GB, so plan for that space before installing. The presets cover bass and pad sounds in the Juno style, and the developer highlights the chorused pads that defined the originals as a central feature.

Because the instrument is delivered as a plugin, it loads into a compatible host as a VST2, AU or AAX instrument, which makes it usable in most common production setups on Windows and macOS.
