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. Get ready for fat chorus ! here’s a selection of freeware plugin :
Free VST Plugins are one of the most exciting things about mixing. In the past it was impossible to imagine that so many quality tools could be available at no cost. Today there are more great free plugins than ever before, but the freeware scene is always changing.

2. Sixth Month June VST by Elektrostudio
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
A synthedit creation (Windows 32 bit only). This free VST from GTG is an emulation of a Juno6, it sounds very good. The first bass preset is my favorite ! full persuaders attitude. It’s great for bass & pads. Great smooth silky chorused sound.
