Roland juno 60 61 keys polyphonic synthesizer

The roland juno-60 is a 61-key six-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer manufactured by roland between 1982 and 1984. The successor to the roland juno-6, the juno-60 adds a patch memory of 56 presets while keeping many of the same features. It offers on-board chorus effects, digitally-controlled analog oscillators, low-pass and high-pass filters, and the option to arpeggiate and sequence notes when connected with the jsq-60 sequencer. Although it doesn’t offer midi functionality like its successor the roland juno-106, the juno-60 is often regarded as having a better sound than the juno-106. The juno series is renowned for its influence on electronic music, and the juno-60 is considered a classic vintage synth
