That guy says the Ju06a has only 4 voices?! Didn't the original have 6?

no, 4 voices

Really? But they emulate the Juno's, right? The 106, 60 and 6 each had 6 voices according to Wiki.
4 voices is very little, one can easily run out of voices when playing pad chords with long release.

By original I meant the Juno synths, obviously :wink:

Anyway, why that limit? Those synths are not analog inside, right? So the price for additional components can't be the problem, one might think.

For me that 4-voice limit is enough of a reason not to buy it.
Yamaha's Reface CS - a similar league - has 8 voices.

All the analog-modeled Boutiques have a 4-voice limit. The plugins from Roland Cloud are 8-voice I believe.

Yeah it's dumb but they still sell like hotcakes so there's probably little incentive for Roland to upgrade the Boutique hardware.

Clearly yes.
If by original I had meant the Ju06, I would have known it and thus hardly been surprised about the meager 4 voices.
Or, if I had not known of the Ju06, I could not have referred to it, obviously.

For that price I would expect 8 voices, frankly :) The Roland does not even have a keyboard, unlike the Yamaha Reface series.

I was not talking about "the new boutique", I was speaking about the Ju06a.
The Ju06 was itself only an emulation, so why would I refer to it as original?!

I think people got what I meant, except for those that didn't want to.

New year, new badge but it's yet another repack of same stuff.
Roland you could be better than this.
