Ditto. I’m looking for something to build up a sonic landscape, using a rack full of digital and analog synthesizers plugged in via MIDI and the cv / gate outputs, and maybe even plug a real electric guitar or synthesizer keyboard (like a Moog Matriarch) into it and really playing it. There are already plenty of demos of slapping together trite, built-in, over-used sample libraries, droning on, with little apparent musicality-the modern rendition of “yeah, yeah, yeah”. Lol. This demo was much more interesting and relevant to me. Thank you for uploading it.

Granted this was a year ago, but I've seen other genres including Synthwave done on MPCs at least that long ago.

Juno 6 owner here. This VST is absolutely fantastic. It has the secret ingredient thr Juno 6/106 has - It makes you feel (as the creator stated at the start of the video). It doesnt matter if it sounds the "Same" as a "Real" Juno - No Juno sounds the exact same now to another. What they all do have is their sound makes you feel/want to play it.

I Had a Juno 6 and loved the sound BUT no midi and it was so big. Gave it away to a guy who helped me move. Bought the jura plug in and I had my Juno back with midi and inside my MPC Live and Force, what's not to like😃😃😃😃😃😃😎😎

If you know the Depeche Mode (Vince Clark) track 'I just can't get enough', I used it to see what the MPC Key 61 could do. I've just about emulated the whole track all within the Key 61. I just have the vocals to do. I'll make a video of it when done to show what is AKAI's best machine to date (and I've owned the S6000, the MPC4000 and the mighty DPS24). If the Key 61 MKII has 76 notes with semi-weighted keyboard and the flip-down screen of the MPC-X, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

This sounds great! I swear I was just wishing for a Juno recreation on MPC a bit ago, cool to see them bring stuff like this to the platform. Fingers crossed they clone the wavestation as well

That was a top level jam. It really show off that this ain't no side piece type of plugin.

As an ex Juno 106 owner, I gotta say, this sounds great! No plug will sound 100% the same as the original,but it doesn't matter. Let's not forget Junos were cheap, budget gear back in the 90s and were unfavorably compared to the Jupiter 8, Prophet 5 and Oberheim OB8 which were "real" 2 OSC, VCO synths!

Great video and overview without being too technical but highlighting features with what emotionally charged you! That’s what made you video exciting. You have shown me me cool things like the octave in the reverb and automation with the Jura AND the animation of the Mother Ducker. I have an MPC LIVE and just got the MPC X SE and again in love with making music. I also liked how you said if you wanna use the MIDI from the MPC to replace any sound as an option which I’ve never done before. Please make a video explaining the process. U earned my follow today sir! Thank you for your positivity throughout and especially at the end of the video. I think a lot of the negativity stems from users and people who don’t even own an MPC not yet mastering the updates and current software of the MPC. Workarounds and limitations have always birthed greatness both from users and companies creating the machines.

It's not really a good juno emulation but as a stand alone basic subtractive synth it's ok I guess. I really wish it had a basic global tuning control though, so we could layer multiple Jura instances for some awesome phatness. It also skips the basic octave switches from the real Juno which is a real chore. Also, I hope the FX from both Jura and OP4 come as separate plugins. They really are a step up from the standard effects.

With all the plugin instruments, the MPC platform can act as a usable and compelling workstation and killer sequencer. Thanks again for a great video.
