One thing to say about Roland Juno-106 VST is that, unlike the original Juno and unlike the other emulations, it allows to independently set the levels of the two oscillator's waveforns. On the others the waveforms are simply on/off.
As close as they sound, I'd stick with CA, especially since I hate Roland's subscription system. I mean you can buy the Cloud version for $199 ... but CA's DCO-106 is currently $29. Price vs quality goes to CA all the way.
Great video, man! How did you get the chords to run thru the plug ins like that, did you loop it and feed it thru? I should know the answer already but I been out the game for a minute. Thanks for this video. I will stick with my CA, tho I do really love how elegant the Roland samples/ctrls are with handling stacking and crosstalk. Lovely. Hard to beat. Too bad bout that subscription mess, right? Creativity solves in a pinch, thank God. Peace!!
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I appreciate you tuning in! Just plain old midi in Ableton. I cropped the plugins so thats all you see lol. I agree. The subscription isn't too bad IMO. I prefer purchasing but if I have a project and they need a roland type of sound i'll pay 19 bux work hard for a month, get paid and move on lol.
This was really cool. I followed along with my Arturia Jun-6 V ver.1.6 and I have to say I'm really happy with how that compares to these other two. Peace
Used to own a hardware Juno-106, but all my hardware had to go, sadly. Now I run the DC-106, but does anyone know why Cherry did away with the second Envelope Generator? Without that, it seems not as easy to get the sounds I wanted.
Great video comparison. For some reason, Roland dropped the ball on the soft synths, some sounds are ok, usually mono or a few notes at a time, but overall when you push it or go to extremes, which is what we want, it aliases badly. I think this was to push people to buy the boutique series and that seem to work, which is supposed to be the same software system, yet it sounds way better on the hardware in most cases. For example, the SH-01A. Perhaps they can add over sampling to the hardware. That said. The SH still has aliasing on the lowest and highest notes and high resonance on the filter. Hope that gets updated in firmware.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾. Thanks for tuning in. Hmmm I don't think so because the boutique series uses the exact same ACB technology as the plugin. Thats why you can load multiple "Plugout"synths into the System-1 and 8 controllers. But I could be wrong because I've only tested the hardware so I haven't spent enough time with them to say for sure. Thats why I love the Oversampling in the CA plugins. It makes a big difference.
@@ProdByThatGuyFace I don't trust anything Rolandcany more, just reading their licensing is enough question if you actually own anything that will stay working for years to come with any worthwhile technical support.
@@ProdByThatGuyFace it seems to me that the low prices they go for make some people think its sub par, it s funny. It s just a marketting choice, and teh way they work probably. Nothing to do with the accuracy" of the emulations. I saw a vid where they show the process, and it is very "noble" - i hope i dont make up words im french ya know ;p
@@ProdByThatGuyFace that's OK. Roland is King tho. Then Softube Then the newer Arturia CA don't have the same tech. Uhe and GForce good for other models.
Sorry man.... But... You forgot the Chorus! At the ROLAND the Chorus is always off! No LED is on. At the DCO-106 the Chorus is always on position 1. Thats why it sounds more fat of course. So, the test is not very accurate.
I can understand that but trust me, turn up the oversampling and add some console fx like a console channel strips or any tape emulation and trust me itll sound even more amazing then it already does.
