Also check out their Mono One device… it’s a nice 101 inspired synth that also works on Push 3 standalone! 🙂
I’ve never had a Juno except for the Alpha so to me, the ‘Juno sound’ can be “mistaken”
From my experience with other people’s Junos the 106 doesn’t sound like the 6/60 and definitely not like the Alpha/MKS50
Juno-G perhaps!
Nik here from Monomono.
Definitely agree. I don’t have Juno-106, but I’ve studied the schematics extensively for all three and it def should sound a bit different. Especially in terms on the response and dynamics (not to mention the Chorus which changed dramatically from Juno-6 to 106).
On this topic, Maya is modelled specifically on Juno-6 I have in the studio. The video doesn’t mention it and I’ve realised the manual is a bit vague about the heritage as well only specifically stating it once. I’ll make sure to have more explicit explanation in the next version.
Thanks,
Nik
Now we’re getting into some uncharted waters
Sound wise not bad, and does it as good as any other Juno plugin.
I guess the purpose here is to illustrate the capability of MPE & aftertouch within the plugin world? [Question of: What expressions can you push with a already good sounding plugin]
