The HPF & VCF (04:14) - Larry now covers in detail the HPF and VCF sections, the Frequency and Resonance controls, and how you can use Keyboard Tracking feature to open the filter when you play higher pitches.
The VCA & ENV (04:04) - In this video, learn all about the parameters of the Amp and Env sections including Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release, allowing you to create a wider palette of sounds. You?ll also see how to use the Envelope alongside the Sequencer.
Modulation (09:35) - Now discover the parameters of the LFO including how to route the ENV to the VCF and the LFO to the pitch of your Oscillators for interesting sounds, as well as how to create the trademark ?filter wobble? sound.
The Step Sequencer (10:06) - In this video, Larry explains and explores all the parameters of the Stem Sequencer, many of which are bred under the hood of the synth. See how to set individual notes and gate lengths for individual steps, introduce rests, and also utilize different Play Modes, as well as how to save your patterns.
Play Modes & Effects (05:40) - Now learn all about the 2 Chorus effects and the modeled Noise from the original Juno 106 Chorus unit. You?ll also see how to use the Delay unit and create a big evolving lead sound. Larry then covers the Solo, Poly and Unison play Modes.

Epic Bass Pad (04:52) - See how to create a slow attack bass squelch sound from scratch by utilizing Pulse Width Modulation and Filter Envelope Modulation. For even more texture, Larry adds the amazing Eventide H9 Max and Rose Delay hardware effect units to make Ju-06 patch into a lush cinematic futuristic sound.
Epic Chorused Pad (06:27) - For this last video, see how to create a deep chorused pad patch from scratch, that utilizes a slow rate Pulse Width and Pitch Modulation, with a slow attack and long release. Again Larry adjusts the filter cutoff to get some movement, and incorporates the Eventide H9 and Rose Pedal hardware effects to turn this sound into a lush modulated patch.
