At 11:15 I had originally played the melody from Face To Face - Heart To Heart in a previous take and then decided to change it to Hey, Hey Guy and forgot to update the banner. sorry.
That's what Ken Laszlo used :)
I do not think they used a 106 in Hey, Hey Guy. Sounds more like PPG to me. Unless you have a source? Or are you just guessing?
The sequencing has always been the tough part for me what are you using to sequence the 106 ?
@@SynthManiaDotCom I'm just guessing, sounded familiar..

The way you say portamento makes me want to go out for an Italian meal.

Ahhhh hahaha funny
YESSSSSSSS!!!!! THANKS!!!
Hey it’s dr mix!
great video as always!!
Thank you, Claudio!
Grandi! Doctor Mix + Paolo Synth Mania = Viva l'Italia!
@@LB-pp7pu collab italo mix!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm amazed from how clean and fresh your synths look, as if they were manufactured today, no hits, no bumps, no dents and no scratches! incredible..
I’ve always loved these kinds of sounds, and it’s nice to hear all of these patches in one video. Thank you!
Glad you like them!
Apart from the longer envelope times on the 106, the microprocessor generated DCO timing made för perfect octaves on the 106. The 60 hade a divide down chain counter for DCO timing and the octaves are slightly stretched. This gives the 60 the impression of DCO's running slightly in and out of phase with each other which is more like the sound of VCO's. You will notice this if you play 2 notes an octave apart. it gets more noticeable up the higher octaves.
Thanks for a great video again, especially to know a bit about the history. I have several vintage synths but I tend to mostly play on the 60 and 106. The sounds are great and the direct handling without digging into menus and having buttons and sliders for each function is so much fun.
I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR VIDEO DOING JUST THIS!!!!! THANK YOU!!!
Great comparison, overview, and demo, and thanks also for going over the history. These were the boards that got me so interested in synths.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You're amazing. I'm hooked on your videos after this!
As always, thanks Paolo for your dedication, care to details and goodwill to share to new generations what we handle back then!
Lot of Love
Great video. I owned a 106 for nearly 30 years & never got bored with it. Can't wait to see what's next!
Really enjoyed this comparison. Everything you do sounds awesome. Thanks Paolo!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for keeping this stuff alive, even more, you fill it with live!
what a lovely video, keep up the amazing and detailed work
This video is awesome! These are the kinds I like to see from you! Thanks so much for sharing
Andrew, thank you!
WOW...Great comparison..and man! great music making on your part.. I have the 60 and i'm working on a 106 right now for repair.. now you got me excited to use them..
You always do a great job in your videos.👌
Amazing video! I'm saving up so hard for a 106 as my first vintage synth!
Your vids are always a delight. This one especially hits the spot... Deejaying at raves from 89 to 92 this is the sound of my youth. Keep it coming and hope you can one day put your best dittys together for a synth mania album 😉 Thanks Paulo
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
Another great video Paolo, just love seeing these analog synths in action, would be great to own one!
I love your vids there easy to understand and also very interesting keep up the good work
Grande Paolo! Chiaro e preciso come sempre e indicazioni davvero utili per chiarirsi le idee!! Complimenti e avanti così!! 👍👍👍👍
Fantastic comparison demo! Thank you man!
You are a wonderful teacher and great keyboardist! I really loved the way you showed us from the rough stages how the song turned out in the end. Also, your playing both keyboards at once was so cool!!
Glad it was helpful!
when i think "synthmania" i imagine WrestleMania WWE hype but with synths being introduced into the ring and talking smack against each other with vocoder voices
I’m so greatful to be a proud owner of a ju06a
It makes me appreciate these 2 juno synths in many ways I can imagine
I bought the 06A intending to sell my JU-06, but then I came to my senses, and realized I could chain the two and have a full 8-voice Juno :-)
Mine is coming in tomorrow!
Those are some super clean Junos. You've done a great job keeping them in wonderfull shape if you've had them for a while.
T99 Anastasia has always been one of my favorites. I's surprised how few people remember T99. Amazing comparison, Thank you.
The main difference is the amount of voices. The Juno 60 has 6 voices, but the Juno 106 has 6 voices. To make things even more complicated, there is also a Juno 6 and that one has 6 voices.
It that some kind of joke or some kind of dementia?
@@herrbonk3635 someone with a German name and without a sense of humor. I would never expect such a thing.
@@reneotten7376 No. I'm Swedish, we lack humour too.
@@herrbonk3635 Well I am German. So my comment couldn't be a joke....
we all lack humour when listening to synth music
Regarding the differences, i owned both, eventually sold the 60 and only kept the 106 for essential features.
It’s roughly the same synth
Very well done, much enjoyed, thank you!
Really well demonstrated with all the context given.
I had an immaculate 106 in the studio and I have the 6, so I did some private comparisons on big speakers. The 106 was cleaner and brighter and the 6 was fuzzier and a little darker. It felt like the 6 was hanging onto the 70s and the 106 was a hi-fi embracing of the 80s.
It was reasonably subtle of course, not night and day. But it was noticeable. Thinking about it, I should have made a video about it before I gave the 106 back but you've done it now anyway. 🙂
Thank you, Alex! Yep, I have the same opinion about the core sound
About 10 years ago I had both the 60 and the 106. I sold the 106 and have never regretted it. To me, and maybe that's what you're describing here mr. Alex Ball (you synth legend you), the 106 has the typical "hammock eq" sound with brighter treble and more bass, whereas the 60 has more "ommpff" in the mid range eq. As everyone is saying, they are really similar in sound, but I've always felt that the 60 sounded quite a bit better to my ears. I love, and make, 80s music (and I don't like techno at all) so according to SynthMania maybe I did the right choice in keeping the 60 and selling the 106. And I remember at the time hearing a lot about the voice chip problems with the 106, and that was also one of the reasons I sold the 106.
I've never heard anyone creating such a 90s sounding sound from the Juno 106,great job as always Paulo
Amazing thanks. I have the 106 for years and never really made use of the mono synth features/sounds. Next time I use it I will!☀️✨
I own a Juno 106 and I never knew about monophonic mode lol. It's been really bitter sweet owning it because I have never known how to really get the sound I want out of it. Thanks for this vid. Hopefully can bring me and my Juno closer together.
Very good presentation!
Thank you.
Justo estuve analizando mucho ambos synths esta semana. Alta reseña maestro.
One more thing: could u add subs? saludos desde AR
Love how you say “portamento”
I was about to write the same, it does sound so italian
Funny how italian sounds good spoken...in italian :)
Very true!
italians rule. Italians make the coolest techno
Enjoy your video. Thanks. God bless n tekno disco rock. Onnn.
great video as always thank you
Juno 60 always sounds better in these videos, but I find the 106 fits into mixes much more easily. My 106 found its way into tons of songs, while the 60 was fun by itself. I sold the 60, kept the 106 and never looked back.
Look back! 😄
Hey Hey Guy! Nice comparison, great breakdown of the two synths. I had a 106 for about 15 years. Great synth. Heck of a sweet spot. Would like to get another one. Probably spring for the system 8 tho eventually.
Been following your channel for almost 10 years. Or whenever the very beginning was. Keep up the great work!
I bought a new HS60 (same as the Juno 106 with speakers) back in the day and I still have it. We've come a long way since then but it still stands up today as an easy to use synth for those who are learning how sounds are generated and be creative.
This review is so great thanks for sharing
I bought both new in 1982/1984, toured them for 10 years live, and still have them. The Juno 60 is "warmer"/fatter. The 106 has a unison mode and portamento for interesting mono lead sounds, but more of a digital sounding OSC. 🎹😎👍 (I also have the DCB to Midi converter for my 60)
Wow!! That techno track is fantastic 😍 I love your videos!
Very helpful and a good quality demonstration!
nice1, awesome that you have both. ..Still enjoy my 106 to this day [needed to flip burgers to save up for it back in 1984]. And the portamento in poly-mode is just awesome too.
You're one of the best - a guy with a passion for the gear and no axe to grind. It's difficult to walk that line when what can feel like naive questions are flung at you indiscriminately after your decades of fascination and dedication with the "toys" - but MAN - you walk that line so well. I have quite a few classic pieces of gear, but nowhere near the dedication that you have to give back to the community at large. You probably aren't well enough recognised, so thanks for all your input on GS as well - it balances the place out nicely👌
Thanks so much, really appreciate it!!
@@SynthManiaDotCom You're SO welcome (I've downloaded and reviewed so many of the presets for my vintage gear from your links and compared the original presets to your appraisals .... I just can't believe how much effort that must have taken ... big thanks man - kudos).
Thanks for this very interesting video!
Great video, Paulo. You're playing really shows off the strengths of both these machines right across the board.
I've never really been into the hard techno-sound - well ok I did have a Rave phase in the early 90s 😊 And for a long time I thought the Junos were pretty much one-trick-ponies - essential for that sound but ultimately quite limited.
Then last year I saw someone playing a 106 live as their main keyboard in a covers band and I was blown away by the range of sounds she was getting.
I started to realise how ubiquitous that Juno sound was to the pop music I was growing up with in the 80s and 90s as well as the harder sequencer driven stuff that came along later.
Clearly both Junos are awesome musical instruments - but if I was in the market for one this video would be very useful.
Cheers
Marc
Totally awesome video. I didn't think anybody knew about the Twins. Great sounds with both these synths.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video! Helped me a lot. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Another excellent video by Paolo. Thank you very much!
...and the answer is: You have to have both! : D
Wow, so educational. For me, the Juno 60 has a soft spot in my heart (along with the Prophet)... I guess that's because of my age and my beginnings of taking notice of music...
Boy are we synth nerds lucky to have you .. Awesome video from KING Paolo
Thanks for the video. I have plugins for both synths from the Roland Cloud but have not yet had a chance to really explore either.
Great demo, as always! :) One thing to also mention perhaps, is that Juno 60 and Juno 6 has the option of modulating PWM from the envelope. The plugout Juno 106 synth for System 8, System 1 and the VST-versions have that, as well as a second envelope available. These are good options, for those that can't afford old vintage gear.
Fantastic Demonstration!
Buongiorno Paolo. Grazie per la condivisione. Così simili e così diversi. Condivido in pieno
Grazie, Mark 2!
Love your channel. I have both Juno 6 and 106 (and also an Alpha Juno). I've just set up my new studio, so I'll be doing another tour, there will be a segment on all the junos.
I absolutely love the sound of the juno synthesizers. What a dream to own some of these genius machines
Love me some good old 80s retro synth sounds. Still as good today as yesteryear.
Super Cool! I love your videos!
Great video! I have a Juno-60 and I had for some reason a preconception of the 106 as being "almost the same but a bit more dull". This demo opened my eyes, especially the portamento jam. The 106 is real beauty as well. :)
Glad it was helpful!
I love how Juno-60 sounds :) good video! :)
Glad you like it!
Wow, I loved this review ❤️ thanks a lot, really !
Glad you liked it!
that was a great video. im a guitar player, and ive had a 106 for a decade. its made a few recordings but not much really. you explained a lot of things that probably seem obvious to a lot of people, but not to me! thanks again.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much this help me a lot
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. Thanks, my friend Paolo !!!!!
Many thanks, Gus!! Miss you, buddy!!
I almost got a Juno 60 in 1983... but got the 106 in 1985... everyone was getting DX7s ... but for some reason I loved the Juno sounds! Spent so many hours playing that 106 man! Wish I still had it! 😎🎸🎹🤘🐦
That’s because the DX7 sounds horrible and the Juno sounds beautiful!
Fantastic. Thanks!
Magnifique explication et Bonne Musique. Obrigado
Nice video! thank you!!!
Great comparison video!
Thanks!
If I want to hear a synth sounding and played at its best I come here or to go your site.
Always top quality 👍
Thanks so much
The 60 also can have the envelope routed to PWM which is a nice feature and can produce sounds that are not possible on the 106. I love them both.
This was brilliant. The 106 tune was just instant techno. Such great sounds!
Great job. Thank you Paolo.
Thank you too!
This Video Helped a lot thanks!
Glad to hear it!
Dig your vibes heavy fam! Much success
Greatest video to explain secrets of 80s synth pop sounds ....thanks 👏🏻👏🏻
Glad you liked it!
Beautiful Demo. Thank You. Ciao
love the video . want that book !
Great to see you again Paolo!!!
Hello hello!
Thx for all the information
Bravo!!! Very nice video... Keep up the good work! Subscribed Instantly.
Awesome, thank you!
You should really release an album with all the cool music you have made throughout the years. I would buy that in a hearbeat.
8:24 - Ken Laszlo - Hey Hey Guy gotta love Italo Disco!
Tutuu...tutuui...Hellooo....do you feel the groove?
Great post! Not only are you very knowledgable, you're a great musician!
Thanks so much, you're too kind! :)
That's what I loved about the 106 the fact that all the slider movements could be recorded into a sequencer .. probably why it was popular with techno artists/producers
Great video. Thanks 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Dude! This was a really fun video! I totally love the Juno 60 and Juno 106. I love the BASS on the 106 and the Arp of the 60. I was playing these with the Jupiter 8 last night with 2 Roland KC-550 and 2 KC-350 amps behind me. The BASS just MOVES the whole house that way. I'm surprised my wife didn't yelled at me to turn them down!?!? They just sound so wonderful. I usually plug the 60 into a ping-pong delay and the T2 pedal from TC Electronics which I found works well with that sweet Arp sound. The 106 gets ping pong delay and reverb as well to give it that extra bounce and distance between speakers. The Jupiter 8 is spoiled with the Eventide Space and Time Factor pedals. Anyway, I got pretty carried away there. I love these educational, versus videos. Thanks a million for doing this. Take care, Sam.
Thank you! The Junos do do a great bass indeed - shakes the walls! :)
great demonstration..cheers.
Glad it was helpful!
great video, Paolo !
Thanks a lot!
Yeah thank you very much for this great video as always !
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@SynthManiaDotCom which drum machine did you use ?
No drum machines but the stock drum VSTs in Cubase DAW

Amazing review!
Glad you think so!
Magne Furuholmen (a-ha) also use the Juno-106. I have been on some of their concerts, and he had the Juno-106 on stage. Back in the 80's he used it along with DX7/DX7ll/D-50/Juno 60. I have seen that on pictures and videos from the 80s and 90s
