TAL has released U-NO-LX – a fully rewritten emulation of the Roland Juno-60 hardware synth, with a new engine and GUI.
Here’s a preview of what U-NO-LX is capable of:
Features:
- Self resonating zero feedback delay filter (24dB LP).
- Filter range up to ~40kHz (depends on the sample rate).
- Calibrated and tuned after TAL’s hardware device.
- Midi learn / automation for all controlls.
- Improved alias free oscillators for an authentic sound also @ 44’100Hz sampling rate.
- Arpeggiator with different sync modes (host, midi clock, not on).
- Portamento and mono mode.
- LFO manual trigger button.
- Sustain pedal support.
- Up to 12 voices.
- New file based preset system for transparent preset management.
- More than 300 factory presets by different sound designers (FMR, Particular – Sound, TAL).
- Original hardware “Factory Bank A” included.
U-NO-LX is available now for Mac & Windows and is currently priced at $35.
Where’s the Linux version? Since the plugin is written with JUCE and other TAL synths are available for Linux it shouldn’t be such a big problem to offer a Linux (LV2 plugin) version. Come on, guys!
I bought this. It sounds fantastic. I’ve owned a few Juno 106’s over the years and this sound exactly like the real thing. Very impressive.
It’s also very easy to use. Everything on the one page which makes a refreshing change compared to some of the more modern multipage monsters.
I own a 106. It’s sounds good for digital but laughably bad compared to the real thing. Save your money for the real thing….
Amazing 😛
This plugin and Waves NLS Channel Nevo with the drive turned up to 10. Brings back a lot of the harmonics and warmth people say are missing from this already great sounding plugin! Get it while it’s still cheap.
I’m somewhat interested in purchasing this, but I already have an absolute mint condition 106. It would be nice to have those sounds within the DAW environment and not have to deal with external sequencing and recording. I have a hard time believing that the filter will have the squelchy resonance of the hardware. What I wouldn’t do to have a built in sequencer and a usb out…a guy can dream I guess. I used to use my MC 505 to sequence it and I would run the Juno through some guitar pedals, which was a pretty damn fun set up, but I broke my 505 when I moved. Maybe I’ll just get an iPad for that purpose, touchscreen step sequencing definitely appeals to me. Hopefully the rumors about Apple making a touchscreen iMac are true…that just sounds like a really fun way to work on tracks. I can imagine effortlessly swiping clips around in Logic, trimming samples the same way you would resize a photo by pinching would be cool as hell. I would actually love to sequence with a stylus, Wacom tablet style, but directly on a display….holy shit did I ever get off topic here.
