Roland Juno-106 VS Juno-106 Gravitational Slingshot Synthesizer Comparison

On the bottom tier is the wonderful Roland Juno-106 in all its original glory. No mods, no apologies. Going against the upper tier Juno, not only are the Gravitational Slingshot chips installed but also having the Analogue Renaissance waveform chips as well. I'm auditioning the same patches as loaded on both. Are you ready for a showdown? Which one comes out on top?

These patches are available for download at GUMROAD Audio recorded direct to iPhone via Roland GO:Mixer Pro-X via Soundcraft EPM6 Mixer. Aside from some normalization, no additional effects or processing were used.

Roland Juno-106 Synthesizer - That Juno Sound (no talking)


Today I'm auditioning some of my original patches the Roland Juno-106. I just love the 106 for those plucky arps, sweepy portamento pads, classic chorus circuit, weird resonance chops, and not forgetting those basses. The range of sounds inside the simple architecture is littered with sweet spots. I've lovingly crafted a bank of patches to harness these attributes, now these patches are available at Gumroad. Audio recorded direct to iPhone via Roland GO:Mixer Pro-X via Soundcraft EPM6 Mixer. No additional effects or processing were used.

My DC571 Lo-Fi Dual Compressor Has Returned

Bringing this one back out of retirement.
Currently available in my Reverb Store.

There's nothing like an Analog Compressor to warm up your sound.
Make percussion grooves a little punchier, bass a bit snappier, and glue the mix together.
My DC571 module has TWO fully independent channels of no-nonsense audio compression made especially to give your Eurorack some of that subltle swingin' groove.
You can even cascade channel 1 output into channel 2 for even more compression.
The DC571 uses an 80s design dual compander chip (still in production) to work its mojo.
Each channel has controls for input level attenuation, output make-up gain, and a true bypass switch.
The DC571 is hand-crafted in USA in limited quantities.
