"Check out the coolest synthesizer, straight from the 80's. The Juno-6 with the highly coveted Tubbutec Midi Modification, allowing an array of different functions including Midi capabilities - which was not a stock option.

*In Addition to the Tubbutec Mod, the key bender was also replaced with a clear, LED red light up key bender (pictured).

The first in Roland's classic Juno line of more affordable polysynths, the Juno-6 offers six voices of polyphony with a single digitally controlled analog oscillator, with sub-oscillator, per voice and patch wide analog chorus effects to thicken sounds. Features rich analog tone and stable tuning

Some features in more detail

PLAY MODES
The Juno-66 adds additional play modes to the existing 6-voice polyphonic mode.
The Duophonic mode layers 3 oscillators for each voice and slightly detunes them. The result is a fatter sound, often called supersaw or supersquare. The amount of fatness can be adjusted.
The two Monophonic modes layer all six oscillators to create an even thicker sound. The fatness is adjustable. You can also select between two envelope retrigger behaviours.
Chord Memory lets you define a chord of your choice with up to six notes. You can then play and transpose it using the keyboard.
Polychord lets you assign an individual chord to each key of the keyboard. You can play the chords using the keyboard.

POWERARP
The Powerarp is a built in sequencer. A new sequence can be quickly entered and can also include breaks and different note lengths. The sequencer can then be triggered by various clock sources. The sequence can be transposed using the keyboard and shifted forth and back in time.
Forward, backward, forward-backward and three different random modes can be selected and the sequence automatically transposed over two octaves.
An external trigger, the internal arp clock, midi note trigger and midi clock are possible trigger sources. A divider for the midi clock can be set and adjusted in real time without losing sync.

PORTAMENTO
A polyphonic portamento that works in all play modes including chord memory and Polychord!
You can adjust the speed and two preset speeds are directly accessible via a switch on the synth.
The portamento is linear on a musical scale and you can select between constant time or constant speed behaviour.
A special algorithm makes sure that even in Polychord mode the portamento sounds natural."
