Roland Juno-106s

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.


via this Reverb listing

"Nearly mint, serviced, perfectly working Juno 106s - smooth sliders, fresh battery, grounded power (standard 3 prong.) vcf/vca chips replaced, fully calibrated. Factory sounds loaded. Chorus sounds fantastic. New Speakers.

The speakers have been replaced as nearly all original 106s speakers have deteriorated, so these sound great, nice low end, great stereo chorus.

The juno 106 and 106s are the same machines, but the S version has two speakers (and audio input for the speakers as well), which makes it fun for writing and working without monitors."

BlueARP DM demo, making EDM on the vintage hardware


video upload by graywolf2004ru

"Finally I edited my mid-2025 recording, where I use BlueARP DM in my friend's studio. BlueARP DM works as the arpeggiator brain, driving:

1. Steda SR-909 (909 replica), drums
2. Roland System 100, driven via CV/Gate/Velo triple (bass)
3. Roland MKS-80, arpeggiated sequence"

Old school Italo Disco with octave bass | And beautiful mellow melody


video upload by Espen Kraft

"Doing old school Italo Disco with octave bass and haunting melody line.
Synths used: Korg DW-8000 (bass), Roland Alpha Juno-2 (bell melody), Roland JX-8P (pads) and drums from Akai S1000 triggered by patterns from the Roland TR-626 drum machine.
The DAW is providing sync for drums and DW-8000 arpeggio which is the octave bass.
The pad part I'm not playing live is overdubbed later.

Short edit of a longer video from several years ago."

This Super Jupiter synthesizer module has been fully refurbished by professionals who do this regularly (us!). The work we did to this unit was preventative and makes this example better and more valuable than other examples you may find. This work has of course been factored into its price - we will not price match with amateur sellers selling lesser examples."

"Roland System 100 Full Set + boxes + cables + manuals!

Collectors condition and fully working Sys100
Probably the only system as nice and as complete left in the world...

All is there:
- System 101 Keyboard / Synth
- System 102 Expander
- System 103 Mixer with spring reverb
- System 104 Sequencer up to 1x24 or 2x 12 step
- System 109 Speakers 2x

- Full set of manuals
- Both Patch books for the 101 and 102, example patches
- Both Patch notes for the 101 and 102, empty sheets
- Patch cords, what I believe to be original Sys100 cables
- Speaker cables, what I believe to be original Sys100 cables
- Also the original piece of hardboard to attach under the Sys102 to prevent it from tipping


This has spent most of its life in a closet until I saved it years ago. I had everything serviced back then and it has been nice and stable since.
Fun to play and nice to have the system complete and use it as one instrument.
The sound of 70-ties Roland analog is unmatched, warm and rich. Sequencer nice and intuitive, Mixer is a coloring device of itself, has built in spring reverb and inputs for external (space) echo. VU-meter lights work of course."

Pics of the inside below.

"Now this is a beautiful and very rare gem that you will almost never see for sale; This true analog and unique member of the Roland TR family is very cool: it has lots of adjustable trims inside so shape your drum sounds, like inside the CR-78! This also makes this the perfect vintage Roland moddable analog drum machine. Also: individual outs is easy on this one.

This one is of course after not mint anymore after 50 years, but honestly; despite a few wood flaws it actualy looks very nice still, certainly comparing to other units I have seen.

On the technical side: it works for the most part. On the main output everything seems normal, besides the volume balance seems not entirely accurate, but I have nothing useful to compare. The internal speaker does'nt seem to pass the bass drum. The speaker has been disconnected before for shipping [because not all countries accept speakers being shipped the quick way], maybe something was not re-attached properly. Therefor is sold as 'kind of working but needs technical service'. So sold AS-IS. No returns or [partly] refunds if anything other then described is not working properly. Maybe I am over-accurate here, just want to tell an honest story where others just hope for the best advertising crap as 'in good condition'. Hope you appreciate it!

Volume is rewireable to 120v, its now set to 100V. I have never seen this unit on European voltage to be honest. For all higher voltages you need a simple step down transformer. Or give it a new replacemnet transformer when you are servicing this beast."
