The Roland Juno-106 is relatively simple in terms of its synthesis architecture. Nevertheless, the Juno-106 is still quite popular among musicians and producers due to the fast sound creation workflow of the hands on interface and its ability to produce rich basses, pads, PWM [ Pulse Width Modulation ] sounds and other distinct and desirable analog tones.
The central tone-generating component of the instrument is a set of 6 digitally controlled oscillators capable of producing sawtooth and square/pulse waveforms. The Juno is well known for its -24 dB/octave analog lowpass filter with adjustable resonance, which has been said to provide the Juno 106 with its distinctive rich sound, when combined with the tone of the MC5534 wave generation modules.
The instrument's VCA can be switched between simple note gating or envelope-controlled loudness with a switch. The same envelope can also modulate the filter's cutoff frequency, in normal or inverted polarity. The filter cutoff can also track the keyboard to allow high harmonics to be heard on higher-pitched notes.
...like the mod matrix. SH-01A. It’s a solid portable SH-101 with memories & polyphony. JP-8000.. it’s a JP-8000 Juno-106. It’s a Juno-106 SH-101 as above. TB-303 as above again.

...have reason to ever do. Outside of that I wayyyyyy underuse synths. Could def do with just a couple Juno 106 and an sh101 and never seen anything else for synth sounds.
...that at least for the Thunder, at the beginning of the song, they used the "Noise Sweep" preset from the Juno-106. But I know that they mostly used the Juno-106 for Eighty Eight.
