Authentic Emulation of a Punchy Analog Synth Classic

As Roland’s first MIDI-enabled polyphonic synthesizer, the Roland JUNO-106 is a synth icon featured on countless records that defined the sound of the 1980s. However, before the JUNO-106 hit the market, it was preceded by the equally lush JUNO-60. Sporting essentially the same synth engine as the JUNO-106, the JUNO-60 served up monster pads, epic stabs, and scorching lead lines. Some synth aficionados even claim that the JUNO-60 holds a slight sonic edge on the JUNO-106, with a deeper analog punch. With a short two-year production run, the JUNO-60 is a rare vintage synth that commands exorbitant prices on the collector’s market — if you can find them! But Roland has made the JUNO-60 once again available to the masses with the Roland Cloud JUNO-60 software instrument. Meticulously re-created using Roland’s cutting-edge Analog Circuit Behavior Technology, the JUNO-60 soft synth is brimming with the syrupy analog vibe of the original but with all the advantages of a virtual instrument, including automatable parameters, limitless preset storage, additional effects, and a condition knob to adjust the age characteristics of the synth. Synthesists at Sweetwater have been pining for an authentic emulation of this storied synth, and Roland delivered big time. Ride the synth wave with the Roland Cloud JUNO-60 software synthesizer!

Roland Legendary series

The Roland Legendary series of software synthesizers comprises a formidable lineup of classic analog and digital synths. From Roland’s earliest forays into synthesis, including the System-100 semi-modular mono synth, to their legendary TR-808 and TR-909 rhythm composers and groundbreaking digital synthesizers, such as the JV-1080, the Roland Legendary series includes a pantheon of synth titans. Using state-of-the-art Analog and Digital Circuit Behavior technologies, Roland has captured the essence of their legacy synths. With the original hardware versions becoming ever rarer and commanding exorbitant prices on the collectors’ market, fewer and fewer people will ever lay their hands on a real JUNO-106, Jupiter-8, or any of these icons. Pining for that legendary Roland sound? Then go straight to the source with Roland’s Legendary series of software synthesizers.

  • Software reproduction of a classic analog synthesizer
  • Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) delivers detailed, accurate vintage sound

The Best Sounding Juno Emulation

To my ears the Roland Cloud Juno-60 is the best sounding single oscillator polysynth I've ever heard. Far better than the Roland Cloud Juno-106 or the Arturia Jun-6 V. The oscillators are rich & have levels for each wave as opposed to the on off buttons of the original hardware which is a very welcome addition. The low pass filter is extremely pleasing & using the high pass in the 106 mode gives a nice bump to the low end. The LFO doesn't go quite as fast as I would like & the omission of new LFO shapes is a miss in my opinion. The effects round out the sound very nicely & having the option for eight voices over the original six is a great bonus. All in all the Roland Cloud Juno-60 will find a place in so many productions needing a warm smooth timeless sound.

One of my favorite plugins

These other reviews are wild. Great sounding synth. Haven't had any issues.

Welcome Back!

This is an awesome synth! To my ears every bit as Authentic as the hardware but easier and faster to use. I'm running this plugin on my M1 MacBook Pro in Logic Pro 10.7.0 and Studio One 5.4.1 and have no issues at all. It runs flawlessly. Not sure what problem was with the previous reviewer. Keep up the goo work Roland!

Do not buy! Horrible experience.

I really wanted to love this - had a Juno-60 and loved it. But this was a miserable experience.

1) Plug in never loaded - constant, repeating "failed verification" and other errors. Spent a few hours on trying to get it to work before giving up.
2) Roland Cloud Manager is an incredibly user-unfriendly app. I've used many 3rd party plugins and instruments vendors. It's always a bit of a pain, but when the path is clear and the apps work, installs last in between 5-15 minutes. Not Roland - convoluted, confusing, horrible search functions on their sites/app. I will steer clear of the Roland fiasco going forward - too many other stable, well-run companies with great DAW add-ons.

Truly - do not buy this. And Sweetwater - look at the reviews here. Maybe take this plugin off your site. You guys sell such great gear - and this is nowhere close.

Far too CPU intensive

This VST will crash your project. Even using it by itself takes 70-80% CPU on the latest i7-10700. It was much the same for every Roland Cloud product. Disappointing because this instrument sounds good when not experiencing CPU dropout skips.
by Keith Goodwin from Nashville, TN on

Simply put, modern electronic music wouldn't exist without Roland. Many of the electronic musicians here at Sweetwater cut our teeth on TR Rhythm machines and fondly remember programming our first TB-303s. We owe a good part of our careers to this amazing and innovative company. It's been fun to watch and grow right alongside Roland, as they've introduced wave after wave of revolutionary keyboards, digital pianos, and more. For example, Roland's V-Drum Kits continuously redefine the possibilities of electronic drums, beginning with SuperNATURAL technology to the latest Prismatic Sound Modeling. We're huge fans, and we'd love to tell you all about them. Whether you want a pocket-sized synth or a cutting-edge video mixer, if Roland makes it, then Sweetwater is 100% behind it.
