pardojeff Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Hello all, I just got the Juno 60 I won on Ebay about 2 weeks ago....it's a beauty. Looks great, sounds incredible. Just wanted to share the joy. Also, any expert Juno users, please post some thoughts/secrets about maximum Juno lovin'. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doldreaht Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Should i get one? I've been checking them out, and they look pretty damn sweet. Don't know a whole lot about synths and that would be my first. Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synthlover Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 I REALLY regret selling mine. Here are some quick tips from Vintagesynth.org - Cool Tips: The Juno-60 can have 76 patches. By pressing down nr 5 and 1 or 2, at the same time, you get access to patch 57 to 76. Submitted by "Info". To access patches 80 to 98, (dead-patch) plug a cord into the PATCH SHIFT connector. Now you can access the test-programs 80-98: Keep 5 down and press 3 for bank 8, 5 and press 4 for bank 9. Fire the Juno up with the KEYTRANSPOSE button pressed and the arpeggio mode-switch up to enter MONO-MODE. All 6 voices will be assigned to the last key pressed.

rod76 Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 nice little poly synth indeed. But its a shame the Juno60 and & the Akai AX-60 didn't have portamento. I have know idea why this decision was made as many people who originally owned one or the other had it as their main board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicWorkz Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Welcome to the fold. I have a Juno-6 (the J-60 predecessor sans memory locations and midi) and it has been used many times over the years. I sold it one time and bought it back a few weeks later I missed it so much and I am glad I did so. I love hthe sound of it and it's easy to get some thick bass and lead lines out of it. I am actually in the process of looking for a good cheap outboard processor (thinking the Behringer POD thingy) or an Electrix filter to add to the mix, but otherwise, the Juno 6/60 is a great piece of gear to own. Happy tweaking and playing! Yamaha (Motif XS7, Motif 6, TX81Z), Korg (R3, Triton-R), Roland (XP-30, D-50, Juno 6, P-330).

zeronyne Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Try to find a JSQ-1...a very neat little DCB sequencer, or see if you can find a DCB<->MIDI box...those are really neat. "For instance" is not proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
