They still mention the IR3109 VCF on the product page:Well yeah, that's what it turned out to be - inspired by but way more depth than the original. I think the architecture and the layout, the filter etc absolutely scream out Juno beyond any doubt and back in the day Behringer themselves said exactly the same. They copied the IR3109 filter - in all Junos except the 106 and that is no coincidence. Just on look, it's undeniably got Juno heritage (but without the Sesame St colours - which is a good thing), but I'm not saying that as a put down. Personally, I'd be happy if Behringer did more emus with the philosophy of DM. They obvs acted on the conclusion that, "y'know boys, these Junos are so basic and we can do so much better and make it so much better. Here's the opportunity to make a classic even classier". It's a shame Uli doesn't give his boys'n'girls as much leeway with other developments as with DM, though I'm sure it makes business sense to do direct emus mostly. For example, I'd go for a DM over their Neptune any day. It's a flat and hard no. DM is what a Juno could be, Neptune is mostly what a Juno is and will likely sell more, sadly. "Could be" wins for me. That's why DM still appeals and I might end up getting one. My 2 real Junos are both dead or dying but not worth resurrecting in the slightest. DM IS worth considering, and it would be bought directly as a Juno replacement.

The basic architecture is very similar to a Juno 106, but as others have already mentioned, it goes way beyond what the original could do thanks to the mod matrix, FX, more Env's and LFO's etc.
