MORPHOICE has announced a free beta version of a software synthesizer instrument modeled after the Juno-6 vintage polyphonic analog synth from Roland.
Circuit modeled after my very own, meticulously restored Roland Juno-6 hardware unit — the iconic synth behind countless 80s hits and neon-soaked soundtracks. Lush pads, shimmering choruses, and that unmistakable analog warmth, right in your DAW.
EightySix features
- Oscillators: Saw, pulse, and sub oscillator per voice. The pulse oscillator has manual and LFO-driven pulse width modulation. All waveforms and levels are modeled after MORPHOICE’s Juno-6.
- Filter: The classic Juno low-pass ladder filter with resonance, plus a high-pass filter. Modulation by envelope, LFO, and keyboard tracking. Sounds and behaves like the real thing.
- Chorus: The iconic Juno chorus with Mode I and Mode II, measured from the real hardware. Front-panel buttons give you the original settings, or tweak the knobs to go beyond.
- Envelope & LFO: ADSR envelope and sine LFO, matched to the original timings. PWM has three modes (envelope, manual, LFO) just like the front panel of the real synth.
- Effects: EightySix features the DarkStar Reverb and Delay engine to bring your sound to the next level.
The plugin is free to download in VST3 format for Windows and macOS. Users can support the work by using “pay what you want” on Gumroad.
