Behringer JN-80: Their JUNO-6/60 Clone Edges Closer – Order Now!
4,4 / 5,0 | 
Just one week from being spied at the Behringer booth at NAMM 2026, the Behringer JN-80 is available to order now!
I know I said it was imminent, but I didn’t realise HOW imminent! Literally days after debuting what appeared to be the finished article at their large booth at NAMM 2026, Behringer has announced full availability and price of the JN-80. We also have specs!
So, we all know this is a recreation of the classic Roland JUNO 6 and JUNO 60 polyphonic analogue synths. We also know that the JN-80 comes with two more voices of polyphony over the six of the original, but only spread across a 49-note keyboard.
The oscillators feature the same waveforms, saw and square with PWM, a sub-oscillator and noise generator, along with a limited high pass filter and 24db/oct. low pass filter. There’s a fully analogue VCA stage and envelope generator, along with an LFO and the classic JUNO Chorus and arpeggiator.
What is new are the 400 preset slots with ‘Compare and Match’ functions and an LCD display and encoder, along with velocity and aftertouch on the keyboard. Around the back, there’s USB for data and MIDI, plus 5-PIN DIN MIDI IN/OUT/THRU, and sockets for sustain and expression pedals, as well as headphones.
Best of all, the price will be £479/€559/$563, which is way less than buying either of the two originals on the used market. With any luck, it will sound as good and last as long as they did!
The JN-80 Is Real
[January 23rd, 2026] Behringer’s JUNO 6/60 remake makes an appearance at NAMM 2026 with a new name, JN-80, fuelling expectations for an imminent release!
Just like the BMX and JT-2, which were spied on the Behringer stand at NAMM 2026 yesterday, their JUNO 6/60 homage has finally surfaced publicly but is now sporting a new name, the JN-80, leaving us in no doubt what this synth claims to be.
And just like the BMX and JT-2, we first reported on this back in March of 2023, back when it was called the Neptune 80. Replicating the classic JUNO workflow and colour palette, it goes beyond the spec of the original with a claimed 8 voices as opposed to six.
Potential Features
We can also expect full MIDI via 5-pin and USB, allowing the JN-80 to fully integrate into modern studio setups. Word is that Behringer have successfuly replicated the classic JUNO sound by using recreations of the original chips.
This includes the legendary BBD-based Chorus that really made the JUNO sing. One presumes that the Chorus selectors allow for them both to be activated at the same time to get that legendary chorus sound, along with, we hope, the added noise! And it’s good to see the arpeggiator all present and correct.
The JN-80 deviates from its inspiration by giving users 400 patch slots and a handy display that neither the 6 or 60 had. The keyboard is four octaves, in line with their Deepmind, Wave and other similar keyboard, but it is nice to see the classic Bender and LFO trigger button have been replicated.
More Information
Price and availability are not yet known, although some leaks are suggesting a price point of around £479/€559/$563. We’ve waited almost three years, so these should be available soon, so hopefully we won’t have to wait too long to hear how close it gets!

These pictures are from the show and it wasn’t asked of the Behringer rep when there would be availability? Or it was asked and they ‘don’t know yet?’
very frustrating
They told me it’ll be out in a “matter of weeks” at the booth today
Wait, is it like a DeepMind but with less functions? Wooow. Where’s my wallet, like
Thomann says, “Available in several months”, so not really imminent.
Imminent release at Behringer is equivalent to 6 months in earth time
…or don’t!
