About the Roland Juno-106

The Roland Juno-106 is a six-voice analogue polyphonic synthesizer introduced by Roland in 1984, with one DCO per voice, a resonant analogue low-pass filter and the built-in chorus that is a core part of the Juno sound. Peak Entertainment offers Roland Juno-106 rental in Madrid and across Spain for producers, bands and live shows looking for the original 1980s sound on an instrument not often seen in rental catalogues.

What it is rented for

It is used in synth-pop, new wave, synthwave and electronic live shows, in studio and recording sessions, at brand showcases and in productions that want pads, basses and plucks with genuine 1980s analogue character. Because it has MIDI, it fits easily into a modern setup: it pairs well with the Roland TR-909 or Roland TR-8 for rhythm, with the Roland SH-101 for bass lines, with the Proel Key Stand x3 Black as a stand and with a Radial J48 estéreo DI box to send a clean signal to the mixing desk.
