Item Description. Up for sale is my classic Roland Juno 60 Analog Poly Synthesizer. So many hit songs of the 80's and 90's had the Juno 60 legendary tone. Once you play one, you can recall countless sweet pads, strings, brass, basses, and leads. The 60 was simply essential in music production, and still is. There is nothing that comes close to it.
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.

… was a dead failure – at least considering their introduction of the Juno-series. When the Juno-6 hit the market, it was sort of an innovation – true classic and quite powerful synth with six voices, sounding very similar to the expensive Jupiter-8, but at a much lower price level. The Juno-6 was a sensation, but as technical development went on, ...
Compliment to those engineers who developed this cut-down classic that sounds so good! There are not many features on the Juno-60, it’s really sort of a “reduction to the minimum”. There’s only one …
per voice. Quite interesting, why the instrument sounds that powerful. The Juno-60 is no restrictive sounding synth, not at all! Those engineers simply found a perfect solution for the scaled-down (but still strong) DCO: the waveforms may be used at the same time, along with the sub-oscillator’s signal … Further, there’s noise. Not really innovativ...
is of the same high quality. Especially the filter’s resonance sounds brilliant, giving you a lot of colourful musical textures and helps the Juno-60 being very flexible. But the Juno wouldn’t be a true classic without some nice …
First of all: the typical Roland stereo chorus. Quite noisy, it gives you a lovely true-stereo sound image. But it’s really noisy, to be honest – just compare it with the great chorus of Elka’s Synthex – what a difference! However, the Juno-60 chorus effect produces rich and expansive sounds. Further, you find those equally classic controllers. Fir...
The Juno’s brasses and strings as well as organs are quite famous in any way. These are lovely analog-sounding, warm and powerful patches. Short and snappy basses along with similar arpeggio-like sounds are other highlights. Mostly the brilliant DCO is responsible for those earthy, rich sounds. On the Juno-60 you can easily create patches for massi...
There are not too many things missing here. Certainly – MIDI would have been a real bonus, but in 1982? No way. Although the Juno-106 offers quite comprehensive MIDI, it’s no substitute for the Juno-60 (in our opinion). Well, what you’ve got on the Juno-60 is a DCB-port. Not a bad solution, not at all! Simply connect a MIDI-DCB converter, and that’...
Besides its truly classic and powerful analog sound, there’s one simple fact that might put the Juno-60 well above the Jupiter-8: reliability. There’s a lot less going on in the smaller instrument, and therefore you might feel better with the Juno-60. Making music on a reliable instrument simply is a lot easier, and in general financial charges for...
Among the first in Roland's amazing Juno family! Six analog voices of polyphony and patch memory storage!! The Juno-60 sounds great, however, like the Juno-6 it lacks MIDI control. The Juno-60 includes 56 patches of memory storage.
Oct 28, 2021 · So in late 1982, a new Juno-60 finally arrived. At long last, Roland had a simple but ‘affordable’ six-voice polysynth, with 56 memory slots onboard, to compete with the Polysix. Though it was a pricier $1,795 (£999), it was close enough. Then in 1983 the Yamaha DX7 arrived and spelled the doom of all analogue synths.
