Bring the vintage colors of the legendary Juno 60 to your synthesizer palatte with the TAL-U-NO-LX from TAL Software. This virtual plug-in instrument is based on the highly prized polyphonic analog ’80s instrument and doesn’t simply use samples to recreate the synth’s sonic character. Instead, the TAL-U-NO-LX computes the sound in real time, running in your host DAW on the AU, AAX, VST, or VST3 platforms and providing a remarkably accurate and musical emulation.

The synthesizer sports a single digitally controlled oscillator, plus a sub oscillator for additional low end, and offers up to 12-voice polyphony. At the heart of the synth is the self-resonating VCF filter emulation with a 24 dB slope and adjustable cutoff frequency, resonance, and envelope parameters. There’s even an adjustable service control section that helps to thoroughly recreate the nuanced responses of the individual voices. VCA and ADSR controls, an LFO that can be synced to an external clock and portamento controls are also onboard.

A final but critical touch is the faithfully recreated chorurs effect, beloved by users of the Juno 60. Just like the original, the TAL-U-NO-LX offers your choice of Chorus I or Chorus II—and yes, they can both be activated at the same time—just like the original hardware synth.
