NAMM 2026: According to leaks, the Behringer JN-80 is an analog clone of the Roland Juno-60 with 8 voices and more.
NAMM 2026 starts tomorrow. Behringer will also have a booth, and the question is whether they’ll make it as big as last year. Well, it seems so. There’s just been a product leak.
According to several shop leaks (Andertons, Strumentimusicali, and SynthForSale), the Behringer Neptune-80 is now finished and called the JN-80. It’s a clone of the Roland Juno-60 for £549.
Behringer JN-80
The JN-80 is a new 8-voice polyphonic analog Synthesizer that meticulously recreates the legendary Roland Juno-60 from the 1980s.
It’s not 100% a clone/replica of the original because the Behringer JN-80 has 8 analog voices instead of 6. You can configure it with different modes, including poly, unison, and double.
It features a discrete analog VCO per voice with sawtooth, square, and pulse-width waveforms. Like on the original, you can adjust the pulse width manually or modulate it via the built-in LFO and envelope. It also has a one-octave down sub-oscillator and a noise oscillator.
Then, the filter is based on the 3109 circuitry and is a 24dB lowpass filter that provides control over the cutoff and resonance. In the same section, you can route the cutoff to an LFO and an envelope (positive/negative). Keyboard tracking is also onboard.
On the modulation side, it has a single ADSR envelope and an LFO. They can be used to modulate pitch, pulse width, filter cutoff, and amp. Yes, very true to the original without new additions like another LFO or envelope. The VCA is based on the 662 VCA chip.
But that’s not the end of it. Of course, a chorus effect is essential. The new Behringer JN-80 features a multi-stage BBD chorus with the same modes as on the original Juno-60.
Playability & Connectivity
The Behringer clone also has preset memory, but more than the original Roland Juno-60. You can save up to 400 user program memories in the hardware. It is also equipped with an LCD display for easy navigation and has assignable preset recall switches.
With a 49-key full-size keyboard with velocity and aftertouch, you can play your Juno-60-style sounds very expressively. Plus, thanks to polyphonic portamento support, you can add smooth glide effects.
On the left side, it also houses spring-loaded pitch and modulation slider that provide intuitive real-time control. Plus, it has a built-in multi-mode arpeggiator with expanded functions.
On the backside, it has 1/4″ stereo (L/R) output, headphone output, a 1/4″ sustain input, 1/4″ CV/pedal input, an external sync 1/8″ socket, and 5-pin MIDI in/out. Plus, it comes with a comprehensive MIDI implementation, including NRPN/CC and bulk load/save.
