A Timeline History of Roland Juno Synths, 1982 to Today: What's the Difference?

[giullianomg]

Alpha Juno <3. The record chord button was also instrumental in creating iconic raves stabs. Not to mention our beloved Hoover. Alpha Juno not long ago was being sold very cheaply on the used market, with Jungle, Techno, Hardcore and Breakcore making a success again, the price of the Alpha only increases. If you see one being sold for cheap buy it! And if you're not going to buy let me know, lol.

Nice work as always! I love my JU-06A.

ALPHA Juno is highly underrated with a programmer.

Thanks for the flash back. I wish Roland would come out with a remake of the MSQ-100 Digital Keyboard Recorder. It was easy to use 6500 notes, after touch, velocity sensitive, 16 channels and tracks etc. Amazing for its time.

Thank you, fellow Roland fans. Cheers!

The folks who are still pining for a modern take on the Juno that isn’t a vst in a box should just get a Super 6. A very familiar and retro what-you-see-is-what-you-get interface, a core tone that is more than capable of those shimmery, smooth Juno tones, but with a greatly expanded sound design palette. And with the feeling of a beautifully designed piece of hardware.

Well you kinda forgot about the System 8 that (in later stages) came pre-programmed with the Juno 106 Plug-Out and recently the Juno 60 was released as a Plug-Out for the System 8. And than there is all the VST recreations, and the before 2 mentioned too by Roland it self. Still, I didn't know there were so many variants! Cool video!

great video but one thing the Juno 60 has 76 patches of memory you just hold down the five bank and press one or two(66-76)

Also known as the slow, downward slide of the Juno.

Came here just to read all the hate in the comment section 🍿🍿🍿🍿

Original Juno: well known for having 6 voices
Some of the smaller ones mentioned here: 4 voices. 🤦‍♂️

[PatrickRosenbalm]

I love the thick sounds my Juno 60 can make. Turning on both waveforms, sub osc and chorus can create thickness that rivals my Jupiter 8. Even in dual mode.
Also see HS-60 which a slightly different version of the Juno 106S.

The Roland Juno Synthesizer is 40 years old! 8D

[PORRFNK]

skipped the JU06, which is not the same as the A

[thefool]

Wow you skipped the Juno-Gi that integrated a digital recorder.

[mohanrana]

I have juno ds keyboard and i want to know what types of synthsizer juno ds is

[roberthollander]

Just a note: 1986-2005 is not a decade. 🙈

[pepedrum]

Holy shit $3700 for a synth? thats fucking insane, I'm glad I own a Juno 60 and I didn't paid a third of that price

[kingdommelodies]

All Juno models ? This video is incomplete: in 2010 Roland introduced the Juno GI,
with a new sound engine, 8 track hardware recorder, 79 effects, 1300 sounds, etc.
I was able to 100% match the best sounds of my Juno 106 with the GI.
I still use the GI daily for the last 12 years.

The Juno-X - while far better than the vomit-worthy unrelated Juno-D/DS/G/etc - is a sham. The Zen Core+ABM system in no way offers accuracy in emulating 106, 60, Jupiter-8 etc. It's like finding a biker called Barry in a bar, giving him a latex Marilyn Monroe mask.. and asking him to sing to the president

The System-8 using ACB to do Juno 60 and 106 is the best modern digital Juno.. the same component level modeling of the original circuits as in the boutiques but running at 96khz
