![]() ![]() The thought of giving up the LP keeps me from getting serious GAS for anything, including more capable instruments like the Pro 2 or Sub37. So, please disregard what follows, and stay on the Juno 60 topic.Īs far as instruments with limitations, I'm terribly fond of my Little Phatty. But what they do well, they do well.Įdit: I read the rest of the Prophet 08 thread, and I now realize that this topic was started to keep that topic from going off topic, and everything I wrote below puts this topic at risk of going off topic. Outside of the rich deep strings and pads, they're not terribly impressive. The Juno 60 and Juno 106 have the same strengths. ![]() I didn't do any programming, but I loved the deep pad sounds of the thing. The first synthesizer that I ever played with alone for more than a few minutes was my friend's mom's Alpha Juno-1. I have good memories and impressions of old Roland analog instruments. I'm not sure if this thread is supposed to be about the Juno 60 specifically, or about limitations in synthesis, but I sort of feel like hitting both of those points. These are just the sort of limitations that I find quite helpful in keeping one on track making music with a synthesizer, rather than just amusical sounds and effects.Īlthough I shun vintage instruments because of the maintenance issues, I would be happy to have a Juno 60 again. So, there's a great benefit in the instrument's simplicity and "limitations". And that's because of the instrument's simplicity. ![]() Whenever I want to hear some synthesizer music while working online, I sometimes go to Juno 60 videos because I know they're more likely to be musical, rather than just noises and sound effects. But I guess I think of it now almost as a sort of preset instrument of the old piano, harpsichord, strings, and brass type, even though it can do much more. Who knows if my love for stereo synthesis originally came from the Juno 60?! It can also make some excellent piano and harpsichord sounds. I have an old cassette recording of a choir patch I made on it that is quite amazing. ![]() The combination of pulse width modulation and the stereo chorus can produce some very warm and beautiful strings and pads. It makes a narrow range of sounds extremely well. I thought the world of it back then, and I've even recently thought about getting another one. The Roland Juno 60 was my very first polyphonic synthesizer. Let me come clean on this topic, because I hate to criticize an instrument that some one else holds dear. ![]()
