Developer Jan Östman has announced two new synthesizers inspired by the voice of the Roland Juno, the Jupiter-X monosynth and the smaller Ju-X.

Östman says that the DCO is a replica of the Juno-106 DCO, but the original 8253 timer is replaced with an ATmega.

The Jupiter-X is a tabletop monosynth that recreates a single Juno DCO voice.

Features:

A monophonic synth with a single Juno DCO voice.

A monophonic synth with a single Juno DCO voice. Oscillator with SAW, SQR/PWM and SUB waveforms.

SUPERSAW unison setting for the SAW waveform.

SUPERSAW unison setting for the SAW waveform. LFO and AR-envelope.

DSP filter with LPF, HPF and Resonance setting.

MIDI input for note on/off.

5 volt CV/Gate input for oscillator. Frequency range 65-2093Hz (C2-C7).

5 volt CV input for filter cutoff.

External audio input to filter.

The Jupiter-X is priced at $330, including shipping.

In addition, Östman announced the Ju-X synth – a smaller Juno-inspired synth.

Features:

The 65x60mm all analog Ju-X monophonic Juno voice..

Just CV/Gate, PWM-CV and Pitch-CV 0-5v analog inputs.

SUPERSAW unison setting for the SAW waveform.

Great for sequencing and use with external filter.

Ju-X is priced at $70, including shipping.

Östman expects to have sound demos available in December. DIY versions are also planned.
