Description

The Roland Juno-60 is a popular 61-key polyphonic synthesizer introduced by Roland Corporation in September 1982 as a successor to the Roland Juno-6, which had been on the market since February that year. Like its predecessor, the Juno-60 is essentially an analog synthesizer with digitally controlled oscillators.

Roland was losing market share with the Juno-6 in competition against the Korg Polysix. Related in features and price-class, the Polysix featured programmable patch memory, which the Juno-6 lacked. Programmability and external control (via Roland's proprietary Digital Communications Bus (DCB)) were added to the Juno-6, which was then re-introduced as the Juno-60 (which sonically and architecturally did not change notably from its predecessor). Production of the Juno-6 ceased in August 1983.

Roland Juno 60
ANALOGUE SYNTHESIZER


Many spears needlessly got broken in debates whether Juno 60's oscillators are analogue or digital. Both answers are actually correct, depending from which angle we look at the problem. The part that i will focus in here is the analogue signal path that...

Excellent build quality, great looker.. Big Mojo :yingyang:
As already mentioned filter and envs are really good. Said envs are quite organic and the synth is surprisingly expressive.
As used on hits by Enya, Cyndi Lauper, Howard Jones, Madonna, Aha, Marillion.......

Since getting mine a year...

I completely agree with Don's review, and have only a few items to add.

I went higher in terms of bang for the buck, this is one really under-appreciated synth. I am always amazed at how much I can get out of 'er for the meager complement of features on the '60. I also went higher on ease of...

Sound - 8 undeniably a sweet sound, but really overused, very constrained with little room to go off road (Roland purposely restricted the range of it so that it always sounded 'sweet' which has the side effect of it pretty much making the same patches over and over for the last 30 years)....
