Roland Juno 106 | Analog Pad & Bass Multi-Sample for Serum 2

The Juno 106’s character comes from two things working together: its DCO oscillator section, which is more stable and focused than a VCO, and its BBD stereo chorus circuit, which adds the unmistakable shimmer that no digital emulation has convincingly replicated.

These presets are captured from the actual hardware at the exact slider positions producers used on classic records,no interpolation, no modelling, no single-note stretching. Full key-span multi-sampling through Neve 1073 DPX preamps means the BBD chorus character is baked into every note across the whole keyboard.

These aren't recreations, they're the authentic sound, sampled from the original hardware—they're culturally validated by the UK electronic music community that birthed them. When you deploy these sounds in your productions, you're tapping into a sonic lexicon that carries immediate recognition and respect among discerning listeners. Audiences will recognise the authenticity instantly; new creators will gain credibility by association with proven classics; Veteran producers can access efficiency without sacrificing the heritage that matters to their audience.

The producers and selectors who shaped UK house and techno understand the difference between approximation and authenticity. These presets pass that test, carrying the sonic fingerprint that separates knowing homage from superficial imitation.

Your music benefits from cultural validation that can't be faked—the sound of equipment that actually built the scene, preserved with respect for both its technical character and its place in UK electronic music history. Professional recognition through authentic heritage.

Juno 106 | Neve 1073 Recording Chain

Every sample passes through a Neve 1073 DPX channel strip. The Juno 106’s stereo outputs feed directly into the 1073’s transformer input, capturing both the DCO character and the BBD chorus behaviour with the harmonic colouration that British console sound added to analogue sources.

Van Damme cabling and industry-leading AD/DA converters complete the chain. Full key-span multi-sampling means the BBD chorus character is baked into every note across the whole keyboard, not applied as an effect.
