I think it sounds like an imitation. I wanted the 303 to be great so much, but it left me completely cold. Hundreds would happily argue against me (and have), but I know what I hear. There’s no weight, fluidity, or groove.
Completely agree about the 4 voice thing, it’s stupid.
Given the absurd prices Junos go for these days, if I wanted a physical Juno-like synth (which I don’t and I just use TAL-U-NO) I’d get the Deepmind or a Boutique…Maybe two Boutiques so I could have eight voices lol.
But honestly screw that stuff anyway. I’d rather just get an Elektron device
Yes I am extremely picky. But I don’t mind it, stops me buying a ridiculous amount of gear.
I did plump for a £2200 rack distortion over the Analog Heat as it sounds better.
The problem to me with many modern analogue or analogue type emulation stuff is the lack of weight and fluidity. I dislike music without those qualities I think.
I heard all that in the Loopop Video. One osc Type was different, the JU06A sounded even better than the original…
However, the Formfactor, prices, Sound, all that Matches my needs.
4 Note polyphonic is Not ideal, but can be overcome with multitrack recording.
I agree. Actually, I think it’s in the mix it really shows. All these sawtooth youtube comparisons don’t say much. It’s in the track it shows. They don’t have the body to get that weight you’re talking about.
Wouldn’t it seem the opposite? Like, in a mix you wouldn’t want as much weight / body to make the sound fit better? I have often heard that replicas and recreations of classic synths like the sh01a or tb-03 are harder to spot when they’re in a mix, but when played solo are much easier to spot the lack of authentic sound.
For me the JU-06A look interesting, even a rather high price tag.
I bit concerned tough. I had a Roland TR-8 a couple of years ago. One of my biggest problem with that was that I wanted to record Multi-Out audio over USB. This didn’t work well as I also wanted to use another audio Interface (I’m on PC, Win 10 64bit) This worked better on Mac.
As the JU-06A also is an audio interface 24 bit 44.1 Khz, I am afraid that a similar problem could happen.
Would it be possible to “turn off” the audio interface function on JU-06A and just use the synth engine? I still want to use my other interface (and DT + A4 MKII).
Can you just plug it in through usb power through a wall outlet (smart phone charger) ? This way it doesn’t act as an interface, as it is not connected to the computer
I’ve heard some of the boutiques are susceptible to noise when plugged into usb through a laptop or computer also. You may just want to use an ac plug from smartphone anyway.
