All user reviews of 4/5 for the Roland JUNO-60

5 octaves, polyphony 6 lanes, no aftertouch, no speed, no midi. Effect 2 relatively efficient modes of chorus, and chainable Chorus Chorus I + II (not feasible on the Juno-106). beautiful screen, clear, clean ...
57 patch memories saved, possible external backup tape has K7 ... nostalgia of the first ZX81!! a simple arpeggiator + Hold a button and transposes.
Synth design in 1982, which explains a lot of gaps between the other MIDI or Roland wanted to impose its standard. Those who have known the analog V / Hz and V / Otc will remember shit when faillait Moog connect with Yamaha. The is a bit like the standard does not exist and Roland tried his luck with the DCB. Now for 1982 it is "good" and very good it was associated to a JSQ-60 for 2013 is completely obsolete. It remains in effect for 150 euros midifiable among competitors Kenton, Are not they in life!
The rear connector is not made for the wrong time, adjustable to 3 levels of output, one entry VCF Control Arpegio Clock, various pedals, etc ...

UTILIZATION

This is nothing special appeal, anyone is able to get a playable sound in less than 5 minutes. The doc was not used much everything is intuitive, is absolutely nothing complicated about a Juno-60.

SOUNDS

The sound of the JUNO-60 is not in large diversitées, but against what it does it does well, it's not a Buchla either. This is exactly the same filters as the Jupiter-8, and the DCO provide harmonic enough to make tablecloths and interesting pads, brass, etc. attack. the filter is resonant. The sound does not collapse.
The matrix patch (internal) allows certain functions to refer to the EG or LFO it gives a little creativity, without any time to be transcendent.
Behind a good reverb or CSF, its takes a great extent in this area of ​​its juno is very good, I insist that the JUNO done to the JUNO, not experimentation and Sound research.
His big gap is the lack of a second and a second LFO EG.
The chorus of the Juno is the only integrated because it is stereo and has two independent modes or addable. I can not find that bad, but devoid of any setting.

OVERALL OPINION

I knew this instrument in ham piano paris in the 80s, I remember the brilliant sound he had and what we could do in a studio. It was a very key in his age of 80 years, Roland Vintage sounds good, it is not in the Oberheim have more, but this keyboard is the essence of what is asked.
Currently it is a bit over priced, it's true that 1000 euros?? this is a keyboard that I picked up, having had an excellent opportunity to reacquire. I found this gloss. You should also know that it is not super complicated to maintain, change the battery (welded) remains the most common operation, clean the keyboard and pin short not rocket science. This is the Japanese building, that is to say very solid base and well studied. the fact that a 31-year history because she was a little forgotten and he still has a legitimacy going into compositions through the front door.

SOUNDS

Good said he is specific on my "rf" cd synthesis or that I had I still have: juno 106, MS20, MemoryMoog, JP 8, JP 4, Pro One, p. 330, Andromeda, Korg Monopoly, pro 5 rev3.3. and virtual analog access virus indigo 2, Nordlead 2.
So it is already limited in synthse but it leaves a very low Paisse also thanks its chorus, which is clean, well-type 80s. Out of me I do not flash is a little too late and then I got biensr well anyway tjs for me never came back very well in my mix, hand bass. Not quite frankly the rest is too crystalline.

OVERALL OPINION

Eventually I not care because I am tired and keep it as a bass sound that may well approach with other machine (my indigo II example) has not only was worth the shot. He was compared to a lot juno 106, has tickled me so I bought. Altogether not so DIFFERENT that wants to say, the 106 can be adapted over the tekno and again (at least not very reliable this 106). Good sails when they see his hill climbing is really a little thunder, to me was worth no more than 500 euros, even if it is relative, but hey do not push it full of machines are the same, and also good at what fate has heard so much t has also played on its side "boring"! At a Korg Monopoly personalis is something else. But a good synth huh! even when! but far from being exceptional, especially far from a well JP8 or other large caliber.
