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.
