DCO-106 Polyphonic Synthesizer

Brilliant etc

It is as good as all the other people say...
i used to have a Juno 6 and hello old improved friend. Its such a friendly, posative synth and you,ve captured that. Happiness in software.

Made me 16 again!

The Juno 106 was my first Roland Synth back in the early mid 80s. I remember playing many live gigs as a teenager. This VST had the original patches and using a control surface (a Nektar Panorama P1) to manipulate the encoders and levers, it really transported me back to the days when I would listen to the Juno with its Subtractive Roland sound and program my own Analog patches. Plus, in 2020 this VST from Cherry Audio works with my MPE device a Roli Seaboard via Cubase. This VST has taken me to the very dawn of MIDI in the 80s with my 106 all the way to MIDI 2.0 in 2020. Whqt a musical endeavor. Five Stars.

Mannomann!

Ein echter Juno 106, jaaaa alle glauben der TAL tuts auch. Aber ist es Geschmackssache? Nein! Für mich ist das Interface sehr viel ausgereifter und ja es klingt auch dank der effekte besser! Danke Cherry Audio!

Juno 106 was my first synth in 1986

Juno 106 was my first synth in 1986 ant this is the first emulation i have tried where you can find some special combinations of freq and res where it gets "to loud" and kind of breaks up.

Excellent Excellent I LOVE IT!!!

No complications super easy!!!
Extremely Satisfied sounds completely enhanced than your typical Roland Cloud Version "MUST HAVE YOU 80s FAN"!!!

Blown away (back to the 80s)

All I can say is "wow". I was 17ish when the original Juno 106 was launched and my Brother borrowed one (he had good friends). I was instantly hooked. The DC-106 took me straight back to that day. The quality of the sound is impecible, the tweakablity unlimited and the interface so clear, it screams "touch me". One day, all VST's will be this good. I need to find a dark room to rethink my life....

DCO-106 Review

It's sweet , fat and its the easiest to create and save your own sounds. The added Reverb and Delay is a bonus as well as the GUI resizing.A Retro pleasure ;) John Acosta

Unbelievably authentic. THIS is the real one !

I´ve been using a Juno 106 from 1986 until 2001 and it was always my favorite synth. To keep it short: This emulation is BY FAR the only one that brought back "my" sound again. There are few softsynths out there, that claim to be "authentic". As far as I could say: they are not. Even Roland´s Sound Cloud emulation is nothing near to this one in my opinion. Playing this synth is more than a flashback for me. Guys: you have done a BRILLIANT job! Thank you so much for making me feel a lot younger again!

Amazing Synth

I never owned the original, and I am not even interested in comparing. One way or the other, this is an amazing sounding synth, and a no-brainer for this price. Purchased after 30min of testing! Keep up the good work!

Wunderbares Teil

Amazing Emulation

A great set of tools with everything you may need. Not only is the module for Voltage Modular included, but another Stand Alone and its corresponding versions in AU, VST, VST3 and AAX. As if this were not enough, 300 presets with sounds of all kinds are included with a tremendous quality. It had been a while after a Juno-106 emulation. This meets my expectations more than. Ten Points for Cherry Audio. I loved it.

Juno 106 is back!

This is amazing! I had the Juno 106 for many years in the studio and this is far the best emulation out there. Interface is great to work with and the sound is top quality.

INSPIRING!

Until a few days ago, I hadn't heard of Cherry Audio. I was missing out! Of all the virtual synths I've played, theirs are far and away the closest to the feel and experience of playing an analog hardware synth. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I haven't been this excited about a new instrument in years.

A few days ago, I happened upon a promo for the DCO-106 and Polymode instruments, via some e-newsletter or other. I took the bait and clicked on the links. After listening to the YouTube demos, I was thoroughly impressed and could scarcely believe they were selling them for under $30 each. Seemed like a no-brainer and I promptly put them in the shopping cart. But at the last second, I decided I just didn't need yet another virtual synth.

However, the sounds of the instruments in those demos stayed with me. So last night, I found myself perusing the Cherry Audio website. After seeing that they were offering a free version of the good ol' Realistic MG-1 (their "Surrealistic MG-1"), I decided there was no reason not to at least give that a try. And I was blown away. As I said above, this was the closest overall feel and experience to playing an analog synth that I had ever encountered from a virtual instrument.

I was convinced that yes, indeed, I DID need more virtual synths! So I bought the DCO-106 and Polymode. After installing them, I fired up the DCO-106 first. (Gotta admit, in terms of analog synths, I've always been more of a Roland fanboy, so I was super excited about that one. Anyway. . .) After stepping through the superbly-programmed presets and tweaking them a bit, I had ideas for three new songs in a matter of minutes. What??!! Yes, for real. For me, this instrument is truly inspiring.

The only slight disappointment/criticism I have about this instrument (and it's very slight) is the reverb. Not that it doesn't sound good. In fact, it sounds very nice and it's cool to reverb on board. But its reaction sounds just slightly glitchy to patches/playing that have a lot of rhythmic movement. No matter, I didn't buy this instrument for the built-in reverb!

I'll end this review with the statement I opened with: I've not been this excited about a new musical instrument in years. Can't wait to really dig into the DCO-106, and can't wait to see what else I can do with this company's superb instruments. Thank you Cherry Audio!

MEMORIES

back in the day i had the hardware version of this and it really brings it all back. all the tunes i did with it.

AMAZED!!!!!!

This product is outstanding. The sysex capability is such an awesome feature and makes such a simple easy process. So as I am side by side with my hardware Juno-106 and the DCO-106 softsynth transferring the patches... I was absolutely amazed of how close the sounds are to the original. And even more amazed by the price. I must admit I have purchased a much more expensive simulator (which will remain nameless) and it doesn’t come close. It lacks the sysex feature, and doesn’t fully match the original onboard controllers. Really liked the added LFO sliders for additional control on the very few patches that needed tweaking.

All and all... very, very satisfied.
WELL DONE!!!!

We love it if you guys could create a Casio CZ-1 simulator and or an Oberheim Matrix 6!!!!!

un bon JUNO

très beau synthé virtuel au son très proche du vrai Juno, de bonne basse "analogique like"

Love it!

A trip down memory lane. I used to have one in my band in the 80's & this is a very good recreation. The 106 has always been one of my favourites

Dco 106

Installer corect but authorization failed even with firewall off.
Impossible to use this software, it's unbelievable regarding other companies that provide flawless procedure to use their products. Really disappointed ?
