ReDominator, from Swedish developer AudioRealism, is a software recreation of the Roland Alpha Juno 1 and 2, the polyphonic DCO synths from 1986 that became a staple of early-90s techno and rave thanks to the Hoover sound. It looks modest — one oscillator plus a sub — but 14 waveforms, a 24dB/octave low-pass filter and an eight-parameter envelope let it produce seriously complex, fat sounds. The current Mac build is version 1.5.2.2, supplied with more than 200 patches.

Key Features

• Faithful Alpha Juno 1/2 emulation, including the famous Hoover sound
• 14 low-aliasing waveforms plus sub-oscillator for a wide tonal range
• Eight-parameter envelope generator for expressive, complex shapes
• Over 200 bundled patches, many converted from a real JU-2
• Sysex converter for bringing sounds in from actual Alpha Juno hardware

FAQs

Is ReDominator good for more than Hoover sounds?

Yes. The Hoover patch made it famous, but the waveform choice, sub-oscillator and flexible envelope make it equally useful for pads, basses and classic poly synth parts.

Is it a paid synth?

Yes, ReDominator is a commercial plug-in from AudioRealism. The official page lists the current price, and a Reason Rack Extension version is sold through the Reason shop.
