Jx3p Vst Free
Some free VSTi try to emulate (more or less faithfully) the sound of the Roland Juno‘s synths (Juno 60, Juno 106 & Juno 6). All these synths were and are still popular. The Juno 106 were used by Acrid Abeyance and can also be heard in countless techno trax.
Get ready for fat chorus ! here’s a selection of freeware plugin :
The “SH-01A Midi Controller / Editor”. The controller for the Roland Boutique Synth SH-01A. It is possible as VST and Standalone for PC 32/64 Bit and Mac as VST, AU and Standalone. The „SH-01A“ parameters can be automated, they can be.

The best VSTi to get Juno60ish sounds, trust the chorus ! trust the chorus.
dont forget to check out the other plugins by TAL, the chorus is available as a separate VST effect !
Check the “power pad” preset : the sound is full.
Great for bass and pad, few controls for easy tweaking. Pump up the bass!
2. Sixth Month June VST by Elektrostudio
SIXth MONTH JUNE VST Roland Juno VSTi
go ! => http://www.elektrostudio.ovh.org/index.php?go=june
Available for Windows (32 bit). A virtual recreation of the Roland Juno 6, there are some nice pads in the presets. + a simple and effective arpeggiator and a delay effect.
It’s great for pads, and can do some good bass too.
and if the chorus isn’t “fat” enough for you, there’s also a unison. When the unison is on, the synth turns to monophonic mode.
here’s 16 presets for the bestiole : https://blog.wavosaur.com/download/SixMonthJune-16-presets.zip
some samples : pad / choir pad / noisy keys / arp bass

Description
Please note:
- This kit only works with the JX-3P (not the MKS-30)
- This kit does not change the sound of your JX-3P, it only adds new ways of controlling it
- This kit requires entry-level soldering skills and careful following of instructions
- This kit does not require additional parts, but tools are needed for montage
- Placing this kit requires you to cut 2 PCB traces on the JX-3P’s MIDI board, but is otherwise non-destructive. Undoing the installation and bringing back a JX-3P to its original state requires these traces to be reconstructed (e.g. with wire links).
- Installation can be done for you by River Creative Technology upon request (as a paid service)
I’m a big fan of vintage synths (surprised?), but as technology progresses, shortcomings in the original design become more apparent (e.g. no velocity sensitivity!). The Roland JX-3P is a great sounding synth, but lacks intuitive access to its parameters for those who haven’t bought a PG-200 controller. And those who have, experience restrictions in its use. In modern instruments nearly all parameters can be easily controlled over MIDI, automated from a sequencer, controlled from another keyboard, etc. Not so with the original JX-3P!
The JX-3P MIDI expansion kit aims to give you Roland JX-3P synthesizer a fresh upgrade. It provides MIDI CC control over all sound parameters, so you can control it in real time from a sequencer or another MIDI controller. This also allows you to upload new sounds directly via MIDI. It makes the JX-3P sensitive to velocity if you control it over MIDI (can’t change the keyboard). If you own a PG-200 it adds MIDI CC output to it, so you can record changes of parameters in your sequencer, or control another MIDI device with it. And it allows you to control the JX-3P from the PG-200 and MIDI input simultaneously. The complete MIDI specification can be found in the manual (see side bar).
The JX-3P MIDI expansion kit comes pre-assembled and tested, but you have to install it yourself in your JX-3P (which itself is not included!). This requires a little bit of soldering skills, nothing too complex. It also requires you to carefully follow the provided instructions (see side bar). Feel free to ask advice it you need it. Following the instructions, upgrading your JX-3P will be a rewarding experience, with many addictive synth-playing hours ahead.
A brief history
Originally known as the “Organix JX-3P MIDI expansion kit”, this the expansion was produced by hand by its developer (not me, for a change!), but increasing demand resulted in an ever growing waiting list of JX-3P fans. Initially being one of those fans, I got in touch with the developer, and learned that (1) he’s a great guy, and (2) he developed something really good out of genuine love for the instrument. I felt like supporting that and offered my experiences with production, and proposed distribution via the River web shop (freeing his time to develop more cool stuff!). He agreed, and here it is! We plan to keep in close contact for providing support and are open to suggestions for (potential) future updates.
