• The JUNO-106, released in 1984, was a standard-setting analog polyphonic synthesizer. Following the JUNO-6 and JUNO-60, it was the third and most advanced model in the affordable JUNO series, and the first to incorporate the new MIDI standard. The 106 built on the innovations introduced with its predecessors, offering easy programmability, digitally controlled oscillators, expanded patch memory, a fat-sounding stereo chorus effect, and more.

• With its simple synthesis architecture and distinctive sound, the JUNO-106 quickly became a staple of early '80s production. In the years since, up-and-coming producers and seasoned veterans alike have become hip to the storied JUNO-106. This classic synth brings new life to any composition, and many top contemporary artists put it high on their list of must-haves.

Roland Cloud is the only authentic software resource for the true JUNO-106 sound. While the original hardware version is scarce, expensive, and in need of frequent tune-ups, Roland's plug-in is always ready to play, whenever you need it. There are some great feature enhancements too, which are only available in the virtual instrument:

• Available polyphony increased to eight (or keep it old school and limit it to six or less)
• Condition knob to adjust the age characteristics of the virtual hardware
• Two fully adjustable envelopes
• Famous JUNO chorus, modern reverb, and tempo-syncing delay
• Onboard tempo-syncing arpeggiator
• All-new modern presets in addition to classic and original factory tones
• Multiple skins including classic and SYSTEM-8 layouts in light and dark
• PLUG-OUT compatibility with the SYSTEM-8 hardware synth
• Premapped for one-to-one control from the SYSTEM-8, JU-06, and JU-06A hardware

• The JUNO-106 also supports Roland's PLUG-OUT format for extended operation with Roland’s SYSTEM-8 hardware synth. Parameters are automatically mapped to the SYSTEM-8’s controls, giving you a full-featured JUNO-106 you can take to the stage without a computer.
• It's also possible to use the SYSTEM-8 or a Roland Boutique JU-06/JU-06A for one-to-one, hands-on control of the JUNO-106 software plug-in.

• The Lifetime Key system provides an evolving service that includes free lifetime updates, cloud-based mobility with installation for up to five devices, plus access to current Test Drive promotions of instruments and patch collections.
• A Lifetime Key is a cloud-based authorization for Roland Cloud instruments. Roland Cloud Membership and Lifetime Keys are managed through an online ID called a Roland Account.
• A free Roland Account is required to access Roland Cloud Manager and will periodically connect to the internet to authorize your Membership and/or Lifetime Keys. 
• Lifetime Key is active as long as your Roland account is active—even if you’re not a paying member.

A: Yes, I have used the chroma key. And it works better than I thought it would. The only difference in this versus BM atem is the user interface. For the roland you just turn on the effect and move the dial till it keys out what you need.

Q: 9. Is there any program out? Connecting program out to external monitor/tv?

A: The, Roland AeroCaster Livestreaming System does not offer HDMI output. The IPad that you use to control the switcher is your preview display and controller for the switcher.

Q: 10. Would there be any problem connecting HD cameras via HDMI cables of 150+ feet? Some switchers I've researched have problems with this.

A: Actually, it is not the switcher but the signal that cannot handle long cable runs since HDMI becomes too weak after 30-50' or so. Booster cable can get this up to 100' but for longer runs we suggest signal conversion to SDI or Cat5/6 cabling. Please email us so that we can further assist you. provideo at bhphoto dot com.
