100% analog synth despite the numerical control (which explains their relatively low ratings)
We thus find that the settings can be found on d other analog knobs with less.
The alpha dial makes easily editable parameters (even playing by changing a single parameter)

UTILIZATION

Ultra intuitive, as we get to use it without instructions which proves that it was designed with intelligence. It is not always the case orders a digital synths of the time.
When one knows the parameters c is a pleasure to create new sounds.

SOUNDS

The sounds are super hot and have found the grain of the real analog.
What is amazing is that even among c sounds pre-programmed sounds aggressive as none c is still often the case on other machines.
functions to an expression such as pitch bend etc. have been separated from other parameters which is very significant.

Super hot for cloths and tablecloths including scalable they ride. We find the "grain" that has made Roland Juno fame that preceded.
The analog bass also have a hell of potato. 25 years after its release the sounds it produces are not dated.

OVERALL OPINION

This is a synth that does not market its output (in the Age of Yamaha FM synthesis) but against today it has become very interresting because it has a warmth and a grain that can hardly be found on emulations.
Also what might seem like a failure at the outset, namely the digital controls, becomes an advantage because on the one hand the old analog synths of the 70s often have knobs that crachotent (which makes their use during the game impossible) and secondly they are overpriced. The Juno 1 it is not recognized at fair value (probably because many people know that this is a pure analog juice.
Over time this keyboard should be more sought after so if you find one, please.
I for one am not ready to part with it because it produces exactly the kind of sound I'm looking for. I would do the same choice without hesitation.
