Behringer JN-80 – Their JUNO6/60 Clone Edges Closer
4,9 / 5,0 | 
Behringer’s JUNO 6/60 remake makes an appearance at NAMM 2026 with a new name, JN-80, fuelling expectations for an imminent release!
The JN-80 Is Real
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 £549 GBP, roughly equivalent to €630. 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?’
