What it does
An emulation of the Roland Juno-60, with a DCO offering sawtooth, pulse width and a sub oscillator, noise, a resonant filter, two envelopes, an LFO with a delay time, the pair of chorus circuits the original is known for, and an arpeggiator. Voice count reaches 32, with unison, mono and glide, and an effects page adds echo, overdrive, phaser and spring reverb.
In the demo
Jade saves an init patch into a user bank, then builds from it: oscillators one at a time, pulse width modulation driven by the LFO or an envelope, filter modulation from either envelope, and both choruses together. She uses randomize with its per-parameter locks, runs the arpeggiator in chord mode, then plays the factory banks.
Worth knowing
Presets in the arpeggiator banks load with hold switched on, which lives on the extras tab and catches people out. AudioThing sells a desktop version separately through its own site.
