ROLAND JUNO-60 Analog Synth 1982 | DEMO

The Roland Juno-60 is a classic six voice polyphonic analog synthesizer with RAM memories for 56 sounds. The sound architecture is rather basic, but it has an excellent sound and was used by many professionals like Eurythmics, Howard Jones, the Madonna producers, Paul Van Dyk and many more... it has the DCB interface - the predecessor of MIDI. With a DCB to MIDI interface it is very easy to integrate the instrument in a midi setup.

To my ears the JUNO-60 sounds far better than the very similar JUNO-106 (I had both). It has snappier envelopes and a fater chorus. However, sound is a matter of taste...

@numanuma20. Digital is the wave into the future. the DX7 MK II. Represents the pinnacle of synthesiser achievement. And since 1987 When it was released everythings been going backwards. Analog has NO ADVANTAGE over FM DIGITAL. Its a myth. Analog is no different. I owned a JUPITER 8 and JUNO 106. And sold them and bought a DX7 MK 2. WHY? Because it could do everything they could then some.

Plus it is a helluva lot more reliable and easier to maintain. Many have be seduced by the analog myth.

@fender1000100 What you say is simply wrong. I also love my DX7 and I programmed a lot FM sounds, but FM is not able to produce analog-like resonant filter sweeps for example. There are many other examples... I think, you used your analog synths for some specific sounds, which you can easily recreate with FM.

I wouldnt waste my money going after a vintage juno 60. When a JX8P or DX7 MK II will do alot more at less than half the price on the second hand market.

@fender1000100 they may do a lot more, but they do not sound the same ;-) it's not about doing the most.

@DuffanyHero the new Juno-series (Juno-D, Juno-G,....) have NOTHING to do with the original Junos of the eighties. The same is the case with the new Jupiter-80 vs Jupiter-8. I don't know exactly, why Roland loves to confuse people... ;-)

@Barefoot67 The Juno-60 is a real analog synthesizer. The new Juno models from Roland have NOTHING to do with the original Junos.

The prices are high due to so few being made. and so many believing the hxpe.

Now,if more people start to think like you,the prices can fall a bit so I can buy the gear I want.

Analog of course.I want them all :)

Then AnalogAudio you really dont know what a DX7 MK 2 can do. Forget what you have heard on You tude. Or were even able to pull out of the synth yourself. I am telling you straight and you will hear it in early February. You think because the DX7 MK2 doesnt have filters it cant sweep? The lazy people who dont bother to go beyond the presets or just tweak them will carry this attitude.

THE EGR and EGL parameters are where the magic takes place. The are the equiv of decay, attack, release,

juno because its hard to find a DX7 M2 will go for betwen 2 to 4 hundred because there are many more out there

@fender1000100 There's a reason why The JX8P/ DX7's are cheaper than the Juno 6/60/106 on the second hand market. They're also very different sounding synths. You wouldn't compare a Les Paul with a Stratocaster - they're both guitars though they sound and feel very different to each other, much the same as the synths you are comparing.
