Some free VSTi try to emulate (more or less faithfully) the sound of the Roland Juno‘s synths (Juno 60, Juno 106 & Juno 6). All these synths were and are still popular. The Juno 106 were used by Acrid Abeyance and can also be heard in countless techno trax.

2. Sixth Month June VST by Elektrostudio
Roland Juno Vst
SIXth MONTH JUNE VST Roland Juno VSTi
go ! => http://www.elektrostudio.ovh.org/index.php?go=june
Available for Windows (32 bit). A virtual recreation of the Roland Juno 6, there are some nice pads in the presets. + a simple and effective arpeggiator and a delay effect.
It’s great for pads, and can do some good bass too.
and if the chorus isn’t “fat” enough for you, there’s also a unison. When the unison is on, the synth turns to monophonic mode.
here’s 16 presets for the bestiole : https://blog.wavosaur.com/download/SixMonthJune-16-presets.zip
some samples : pad / choir pad / noisy keys / arp bass

Free Juno Vst
36 years after the initial release of the hardware unit, Cherry Audio releases DCO-106 an authentic Roland Juno-106 emulation with expanded features (MPE…)
Roland Juno 106 Vst Plugin Free
Implementing modular synthesis visually and sonically attractive in software is one of Cheery Audio’s strengths. With Voltage Modular 2, they already have the second version of its Eurorack-inspired modular Synthesizer at the start. With the DCO-106 they designed a hardwired synthesizer available as a single plugin for the first time. No other than the popular Roland Juno 106 is the reference for this new release.
The original is capable of creating lush pads, stark brass tones, big bass patches, striking strings… According to the developer, it’s an accurate emulation that reproduces these iconic sounds but is expanded with modern features. Like the original, it has one oscillator, lowpass & highpass filter, single envelope, VCA, and the iconic Chorus effect processor. The latter is one of the reasons the Juno 106 is so popular today.
Cherry Audio has given its Roland 106 emulation aka DCO-106 an expanded LFO section, new delay & reverb effects but also full MPE support, which are nice additions. This opens up many new possibilities to set the sound in motion. Another new addition is a new unison + detune mode that allows you to create even bigger basses, leads… sounds.
