Hi all

I'm looking for a VST version of the Roland Juno 2, or the closest emulation.

Does anyone have any reccomendations?

Kind regards

(alright, why would anyone want to emulate the alpha juno?!?)


having said that, the User Library for Reaktor has some very cool emulations, I believe the juno series of synths is in there too - or for that matter, the SH series, which the juno feature-set seems based on.

the Alpha Juno line was a good bit different than the juno 6/60/106.... could do a lot of unique things besides the "hoover" sounds. if i had to have only one of the Juno synths, i'd probably want an Alpha Juno.


in Reaktor, there was daAlpha, a third party ensemble.... then there was some other VST one, Juno X2 or something. both were interesting, but neither could really come all that close to a real Juno 1/Juno 2/MKS-50 in my opinion. those are the only ones i know about.

I had an Alpha Juno years ago. I think that Image Line's Poizone sounds very close to the Alpha Juno. Poizone has a trance gate and arpegiator built-in as well. http://www.flstudio.com/documents/poizone.html.

Better still, emulate a GOOD Roland analog synth like a Jupiter 8.

Arturias's JP8V kicks ass.

Also kicking ass is Analog Factory by Arturia, which now includes 500 JP8V presets, in addition to presets from Moog Modular, Minimoog, ARP 2600, Prophet V/VS and Yamaha CS80V.

You obviously don't get as much control over the parameters, but you get 3500 presets, most of which are good or great with some control over certain parameters and full control over ADSR.

Both of these require a Synchrosoft USB key - this is the only kicker. (if you own Cubase or other products on synchrosoft you can add the licenses to your existing USB key)
