Synth: Roland Juno-60
Review by: Tom Butcher (bit@hyperreal.com)
Summary: Six voice, pre-MIDI, analog/digital hybrid subtractive
synthesizer.  One DCO per voice, one envelope per voice, 
chorus, nice rich tone.	
Years Made: 1982?

Polyphony: 6 voice
Multitimbrality: none
MIDI:

    Note on/off: none
    MIDI controllers (aftertouch, CC, etc): none
    Sysex patch storage: none
    Sysex parameter control: none


Other inputs/external control:

    CV/gate: VCF filter in
    Clock: arpeggio clock
    Other CV: none
    Audio: none
    Proprietary (DCB, etc): Roland DCB
    Programmer: none


Outputs: Mono, L/R stereo, headphone
Patch storage: 56 memory locations
Patch dumping (MIDI, tape, etc): cassette tape

Voice architecture: Saw wave, sub oscillator square wave, and pulse wave 
available at once from the same oscillator.  Pulse wave 
can be modulated by envelope or LFO.  VCF with resonance 
modulated by LFO, keyboard track, and envelope (invertible) 
simultaneously.  Highpass filter (4 fixed settings).  
Medium range LFO (one for all voices) with delay and one 
waveform (presumably triangle).  Envelope is ADSR, capable 
of moderately short decay/attack times.  Chorus has three
settings (mode 1/mode 2/off), and is very rich, although 
noisy.

Interface: Sliders/rocker switches for each parameter.  61 key 
non-velocity sensitive keyboard, Roland-style pitch 
bend paddle, button for triggering LFO manually.
Sequencer/arpeggiator: simple arpeggiator
Keyboard/rack: 61 key keyboard
Known problems: 
Accessories: Roland JSQ-60 DCB sequencer

Related synths/gear: 

Price range: value is in the $200 range
Availability: Widely available

Strengths: Very rich tone.  Solid analog synthesizer.		
Weaknesses: Only one oscillator per voice.  Simple, streamlined 
architecture lacks some desirable features like 
portamento and LFO's for each voice.
