The Compound Recording Studio

Roland Juno 106 Synthesizer

The classic Juno 106.

My 106 was in great shape when I bought it slightly used at a fair price around 1998. Sadly, it took a spill off the back of a keyboard rack, slid down the wall and by the time it reached the floor it lost several sliders. Thanks to the Interwebs I found a fellow in Hong Kong who had several aftermarket parts for the Juno 106. I ordered my replacement sliders (as well as a couple for future repairs). I also bought a fancy clear plastic pitch bender backlighted by a couple blue LED's.

SAMPLE: Here is an interesting use for the Juno 106. The distorted guitar-like sound in Overpressure is a 106 through a distortion box.
