My 80's Juno 60 String Tone with Synth1 vst.the free VST plugin can be downloaded here: http://www.geocities.jp/daichi1969/softsynth/. The U-NO-62 vst plugin is a polyphonic virtual analogue synth with a unique filter sound. An original JUNO 62 is used as reference for the oscillators and filters. Like the original, the plugin is capable of self-resonance and thus could be used to some degree as a tone generator.
Some free VSTi try to emulate (more or less faithfully) the sound of the Roland Juno‘s synths (Juno 60, Juno 106 & Juno 6). All these synths were and are still popular. The Juno 106 were used by Acrid Abeyance and can also be heard in countless techno trax.
Get ready for fat chorus ! here’s a selection of freeware plugin :
1. TAL U-NO-62
Roland Juno-60 Vst Plugin
DL : http://kunz.corrupt.ch/products/tal-u-no-62
Available in 32 & 64 bit for Windows and MAC OS X (in VST & AU format).
The best VSTi to get Juno60ish sounds, trust the chorus ! trust the chorus.
dont forget to check out the other plugins by TAL, the chorus is available as a separate VST effect !
Check the “power pad” preset : the sound is full.
Great for bass and pad, few controls for easy tweaking. Pump up the bass!
2. Sixth Month June VST by Elektrostudio
SIXth MONTH JUNE VST Roland Juno VSTi
go ! => http://www.elektrostudio.ovh.org/index.php?go=june
Available for Windows (32 bit). A virtual recreation of the Roland Juno 6, there are some nice pads in the presets. + a simple and effective arpeggiator and a delay effect.
It’s great for pads, and can do some good bass too.
and if the chorus isn’t “fat” enough for you, there’s also a unison. When the unison is on, the synth turns to monophonic mode.
here’s 16 presets for the bestiole : https://blog.wavosaur.com/download/SixMonthJune-16-presets.zip
some samples : pad / choir pad / noisy keys / arp bass
