Behringer JN-80 Previews Roland Juno-60 Knockoff At The NAMM Show
At the 2026 Winter NAMM Show, Behringer is previewing their knockoff of the Roland Juno-60, the JN-80.
The Behringer JN-80 – previously named the ‘Neptune-80 – is based on the Juno-60, but offers 8-voice polyphony, vs the original’s 6-voice polyphony. It also reduces the size of the control panel and uses a 4-octave keyboard, instead of the 5-octave keyboard of the original. It looks like Behringer has based the Neptune-80 dimensions on their Deepmind 12’s form factor.
While the JN-80 is a limited synth compared to the Deepmind 12, its look and sound will appeal to people that like the vintage Roland Juno-60, but not its vintage price.
