The Roland JU-06 gives you basic control over Omnisphere: if you love the Juno-style panel and want some simple Filter and Envelope controls in a portable, USB-powered synth, this is a good choice. The controls are bigger than some other Roland Boutiques, so it’s easier to use. However, if you like this simple panel approach, the Roland SH-01A is a better way to go since it’s more powerful.
Roland JU-06 Strengths:
- Easy to Use Layout
- Authentic Chorus
- Highly Compact and Portable
- USB-powered
- Feels/Sounds just like a Juno
