Roland JU-06 VST MIDI Editor

Hello, everyone, we've just discovered a brand new cool midi editor for the JU-06!

It works as a VST or Standalone for PC 32/64 Bit and Mac.

The „JU-06“ parameters can be automated, they can be stored in your song.

With the X-Y-Pad any controller can be selected and controlled.

You can select the sound off the JU-06 (Presets 0-64).

The hidden parameter "Portamento", „Delay" and "Hold", can be changed on the "JU-06 Midi Edtior", which are not present on the JU-06 surface.

Please note that you need the JU-06 System Update Version 1.10.

Tips and Tricks: How to record your JU-06

The JU-06 has a mono signal, but its chorus is stereo.

So record any one voice sound (bass, leads, etc.) in mono, while any sound with chorus (pads, strings, etc.) will be recorded in stereo.

As simple as that!

PS: don't forget about the recording level, use an external preamp and make sure the average recording level is around -18 dBs (0 dB VU) for optimum results. You could also record via the USB interface but note that the incoming signal will be a little lower, so it's best to use an external preamp audio interface.

Tips and Tricks: Clear Pattern

Issue: if you send a Play signal from your DAW or sequencer the JU-06 begins to play the factory preset sequencer-pattern To prevent that, you have to manually disable all steps.

Solution: Clear the pattern on #1 then [CHORUS2] + [long press 1]

Now no need to manually disable all steps again!

The famous UNISON (stacked voices) mode of the Juno 106 is also present on the JU-06. Use it to get a thicker sound (works for bass, leads and not only). You may like it or not, but why not give it a try?

Access it with [CHORUS2]+[15]
