#roland #synthesizer #juno60 - Hudba
I'd like to have this synth, it sounds so... Eighties...
@Dystopia Plus...I had a Juno 106 in the 80's and sold it in the 90's (big mistake !). I went into a Sam Ash recently and they wanted $1000 for one!...I miss my Juno !
I found mine in my basement from the 80s in fact it hasnât been touched for 32 years!
@@xoxxobob61 Crap if I found one at a Sam Ash for $1000 I'd snag it in a heartbeat :(
@@neonether The Juno 106 is overrated. The Deepmind 12 can sound as a Juno, there is a comparison video here on CZcams. I have them both I prefer the DP12 over the Juno.
@@padmad3k63 Yeah, I mean why would they be on thousands of hit records used by major artists for decades? Not to mention be some of Roland's most successful synths? Classics? Pssh.
I worked at a large music center in St. Louis when I was a youngin' in the early 80s. The JUNO 60 was easily our top seller at a list price of $1795. Man we sold a ton of these! I sold one to Geezer Butler (bass player in Black Sabbath). He was looking for a 'toy' to play with. Very pleasant guy. Nice rock & roll memory.
AWEsome đ
Wonder if the ol' Geezer still has it! Cool story.
You mean to say that paying 1800 dollars for a new one isnt such a crazy price, considering they were 1800 dollar sin the 80s....
@@robertsteinberger5667 well no now theyre selling for double that....
Do you have Juno still?
0:34 "...what really defines a clock is how well it tells the time"
đ
Impossible not to love this synth - so authentic, gritty, and gorgeous.
4:22 that classic synthwave bass
Same synth bass used in blinding lights
As Jean Michele Jarre said in a famous quote, "synths like these are like the Stradivarius, timeless and priceless sounds." Gorgeous awesome sounds.
3:24 is the exact sound i associate the juno with
Same here :)
reminds me a lot of Mr Crowley by Ozzy Osbourne
Yep, nothing else can replicate that in quite the same way
I agree with you
@@GIGeorge23 Mr. Crowley was a CS-80 and a Minimoog đ
I actually had a Juno-6! You're going to cry when I tell you how I got it. I lived in upstate NY near the Quebec border in a very rural area. I was driving along a back road and came across a yard sale. I stopped because I noticed a keyboard set up. Figuring that it was probably garbage, I stopped anyway out of curiosity. Lo and behold, it was a Juno-6...for TEN DOLLARS!!! I shit you not, the old lady was just clearing out space after her last son moved out. It became part of my regular rig until I lost it in a bad flood. I really liked that board. Now, I have the Roland JU-06 boutique module and I have to say Roland did a good job on it!
wow so many emotions. 10 DOLLARS? WHAT THE F? and then the sadness of losing it in the flood ;-;
@@iamkeiju6756 - Yeah, I lost the Juno and a Korg DW8000. I have a nice rig now, though. I really like what Roland has done with the Boutique Series. I have the JU-06 and the D-05 that recreates the D-50. Along with a Juno DS, a Roland Gaia and a Yamaha MX61, I put together a pretty versatile rig.
Lost it? Or it got damaged? Because Iâm sure it could be fixed if you still had it and it was just water damaged.
@@therestorationofdrwho1865 Probably not depending on what components were damaged. Until recently decent replacement parts for a lot of the main board and replacement voice chips were lost to time. Now thanks to a handful of small companies, most overseas, there's killer stuff that can breathe life back into these amazing beasts.
@@therestorationofdrwho1865 They were severely damaged not only by water but some physical damage as well. At the time I didn't really think about restoration, and as was mentioned here many of the components are lost to time. Besides, it was a lot easier at the time to simply create a new rig with the insurance money.
When I hear the Juno, so many songs pop into my head. Eurythmics and Kim Wilde especially.
A lot of these sound reminded me of the original Blade Runner Soundtrack from 1982
Ya it has a little bit the sound of the CS80 vangelis used for the soundtrack. :)
George Michael did Last Christmas on this synth. He played all instruments including the drum machine. All sounds on that song came from this machine.
Also used on "Everything she wants" đ
@@andrewmcinnis1123 Yes :-)
I think "Last Christmas" is some kind of a plagiarism of "Reunited", by Peaches & Herb.
@lifeinsocialism Wrong. There is no DX7 on Last Christmas. The bells and pad patches are both from the Juno. The only external instruments besides Juno are an electric bass and sleigh bells.
Wow, my mother bought this for me 35 years ago when I was 17 and still have it.I remember that times could choose analog or digital like a dx7.thanks remind me good memory.from Japan!
You have a lovely mum. My mum brought me a yamaha psr 40, and a seal synth :-)
Îow much money did she spent buying Japanese made synth, such as Roland ??
@@andreaschristodoulou4274
Not sure but about USD2000 from that time. More than value for me still.
It's one of the best synths I have ever bought and I still find it very inspiring. For me, the chorus FX and also the touch/action are what make it so exceptionally pleasant to play.
This is actually one of the coolest things I've ever seen
Roland engineers in the 80s must have been smoking that DMT. How could you otherwise come up with such a glorious instrument? It makes the sound of angels. Itâs creation. Every function is necessary and nothing is superfluous. Pure perfection. (Except it doesnât have MIDI).
im willing to bet that most engineers in any field perform at their best when not under the influence of psychedelic drugs
Why would you need midi? Asking because I would like to know..
Wait I have to look at it again I thought it does have midi port on the back but it's an odd port
I love the sounds of this synthesizer. It's a real pleasure to listen !
Thanks for a great demo. It reminded me why the Juno 60 (and 106) are so great. Simple but powerful.
I love my Juno 60, one of the few synths i ve kept hold of, fantastic sound.
Best one of these vids so far.
My brother had one of these & I eventually bought a 106. The HS-60 is also basically the same thing. But with built in speakers. Once you learn the basics they are very intuitive to use & you can just jam on them for ages, concocting sounds as you go.
What an amazingly gorgeous synth!
One of my favourite polysynths...recently made a vid on combining it with roland tape eche nils frahm style..incredible possibilities and fresh sounding. Thanks for your competent posting.
Wow,this synth sounds AMAZING!!!
Thank you so much for this explanation. You are very talented!
Thanks so much my friend! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Great video. Great synth. Great music being played. Brings back happy memories. Thanks! :)
I have the juno 6 ,picked it up in the early 90's when nobody wanted such a thing, still one of my favourites, I fitted the tubbutec midi conversion recently which gives you more adjustable functions including portamento, and a simple note sequencer added to the arpeggiator - brilliant!
TheHamstein I want to get the Tubbutec mod. I just have to internalize every function before I move on to The Next Level.
@@larsekman8244 It's an easy enough conversion, but I was slighty worried about altering my precious instrument, -drilling the holes for the midi connectors was the most nerve-wracking bit! All came out fine though and it's great being able to hook it up via midi.
A good friend of mine had one of these and the best I could describe the sound... effortless. Open-throated, relaxed with no hint of tension that so many other synths had at the time. Sort of like a Hammond organ in the sense that it is hard to know exactly what in the sound made it that way.
Brilliant demo, thank you!
I could watch this video forever!! I love those vintage synths!
Such an amazing sounding machine
Live your life with the enthusiasm this dude shows for synths
Yeah... love it
Dr mix looks a bit different today, I think he changed his hair.
All the other Doc Mixes are just imitating, no?
This is not the main Dr mix dude. Lol. I think its one of his other colleagues
tall32guy no thatâs the same guy but he has a wig
@@EphemeralProductions r/whoosh
@@EphemeralProductions That is impossible. Listen very very closely to his accent, it is exactly the same. Ergo...
4:50 sounds amazingly like some mid eighties doctor who
Sounds like Muse đ
FantĂĄstico! đđ»đđ»đđ»đđŒđđŒđđŒđđŒđđŒ
No substitute for the real sound of a classic synth.
Classic. The best.
they are worth every penny beautiful synths
there's nothing like playing a Juno-60... best synth ever for playability and fun!
I wish I could use this today. The sounds are great from this synth
I bought a Juno-60 from my friends dad in the mid 80's for $150 bucks cause he left it out in the rain and one of the white keys was broken! Such a steal but I earned it with my fast food job. Worked okay but had a short somewhere in it. Always tinkered around on it but finally sold it after 30 years to a guy in Australia for $750... I really had something special and regret letting it go. Love your channel!!
Just amazing
Gosh Doctor Mix you make this keyboard sing like an angel âșïž
It's so beautiful
Thanks for making this Dom, Cannot wait to try the new ju06a
Pre-ordered
2:26 when you hear that awesome sound and you love it
Gta vice city theme intto
It's beautiful to hear new age.
Those sequencers are IT!
I love the Juno 60. It's in almost all my tunes. You did a really great job showing people how to use it. I really enjoyed it. Keep up the great work. Take care, Sam.
I love that thing đ i wish it wasn't that expensive, what an legendary synth!
There's nothing like the old classics
So cool!
I have one and its insane. The chorus is what I live for, and its so easy to learn on. 10/10 recommendation.
||-//
Cool! Brilliant musician, great presentation 4:16
Had a Juno-6 for about 4 months now. The same synth but without the preset / memory section.
It's a great synth. Creates far bigger sounds than it should thanks to the sub-osc, pwm and chorus.
Definitely pick a 6 or 60 up if you see one.
and much harder to midify
Alex. First synth I ever owned. I miss it.
Had a Juno 6 but before that as a youngster I used to go to Hessys in Liverpool on a Saturday and play on the Juno 60 for as long as I dared. I think that's what really got me into electronic music, such a fantastic bit of kit.
Why shouldnât it ? (Create bigger sounds ) itâs a Fukin Roland son
@@buckdownscanada9946 cos it has just one osc
ĐĐ°Đș жД ŃĐžĐșĐ°ŃĐœĐŸ ĐŸĐœĐž Đ·ĐČŃŃĐ°Ń!
wat a wonderful video! #respect
That sweet dreams intro is fire!
that Sintzer remember me the Tame Impala. very very nice
Good synth and still is.
So this is the machine that created my childhood soundtrack.
"what really defines this synthesizer is the sound" I wonder why
really cool!
Very Nice!
I preferred my Roland Jupiter 6 because it could do exactly the same things as the Juno 60, but had a split, so I could play the arpeggio base on lower end and strings on upper end....
JP-6 has no chorus and sounds a bit different, really. :)
Ah yes but effects can be added to anything!
Different filters, juno 60 has much more snappy envelopes as well
At 3:25 I get Tame Impala vibes
like the end of "yes I'm changing"
but she just won't believe meeee
nightschool absolutely
A classic!
Bombađ
Great!! I known "You love JUNO-60". I'm JUNO-60 user too!! since 1981.
can i please touch you, as it wasn't released until halfway 1982. If i remember correctly even later, as i saw it in the stores after my summer holiday.
@@klaasj7808 Yes, late 82 for the 60.
Amazing towards the end I was thinking huh, shades of 303.
Great boy!
I have the vst version from Roland cloud and I love it
I wanted one of them. But years ago I was lucky enough to pickup a Roland System 100 model 101 with the secondary unit and the sequencer to go with it. Another thing I'll have to add to the mix when I get all my music equipment set back up :-)
3:06 Jackpot!
Thanks!
I have this keyboard! Great bass can be programmed on this bad boy.đ
Wow lucky. Any vintage synth seems to go for way too much nowadays.
Wowwww Great!!! The 80' pass too fast... this is great to understant how all this build.
Toda Moti il
I just got my brains blown, I need one, now
Very good
Ahhhh sweet PRYDA sound
dat sound omg
Once i save up a ÂŁ1000 ill be getting one. Even with one osc you can get a detuned sound when you mix the PWM and LFO at medium speed.
This was use in take on me keyboard intro synth
Very interesting.
the juno 60 is simply magical and why so many people are not happy with roland for making a lot of gadgets now instead of re releasing a faithful build of the iconic classics in full scale
thats because kids want these gadgets.thats where the money came from.
we real "musicians" need to buy old second hand gear for lots of money.
@@LtdBoomer Also, in some cases, the original oscillator & filter chips are no longer available.
Some folks can emulate them quite nicely- Hmm Behringer?
@@derekbaker3279 re-engineering is possible fans and geeks do it all the time for 106 voice chips
Tegu Audio Line (TAL) makes a really good freeware VST software synth that does an excellent job emulating the Juno-60 called the TAL U-No 62. It was the first VST synth I acquired & used when I started getting serious about making electronic music about 3 years ago. One of the first things I did when messing around with the (virtual) knobs was come up with a pretty passable sound for a Doctor Who bassline... Just need to get enough cabbage together to get that officially licensed Moog VST so I can do the melody, and I'll finally be able to finish that project, lol.
Around 2:05 when your press that chorus , it immediately sounds like it comes from outside my headphones !
my Juno 60 (@1983) is still going strong!
Wow, is it really?? No repairs etc over the years??
correct....it has NEVER seen a repair shop.....i found it to be VERY road worthy.
That is truly amazing, and says a lot about how they built these things back in the day. Thanks for the reply!
+U RH
wd40
nothing "contact spray" won't fix. (just spray some of it in the base of the knob and give it 5 min. Then turn the knob like 10 x really strong without the machine being on and voila it works again without the scratching sound) Good luck !!
One of the best syth ! In my opinion better than 106. Lord forgive me for my syths !
Sounds like Giorgio Moroder music! Very awesome! I do not play any type of keyboard but they fascinate me just the same. Thank you for posting these videos - I really enjoy them.
I here him on kfi am 640 .the chase around 10:00 pm with George noory
Still got a Juno 60 in great condition stored away. Will sell it one day for a lot of money no doubt!
Get it used, seriously. My friend had all sorts of issues when brought out of storage. Took mine 1 week to sort the faders and pots after the guy I bought it from stored it.
The key for making these sounds work is adding an external effects unit. It makes your patches....3D
So glad not to have so a damaged Version of the Juno 60, but sound is sound ;)
I think Enya used this extensively at the beginning of her career. You can hear it on the album The Celts
It was used on Caribbean Blue, as shown here. czcams.com/video/umdgKw9un7I/video.html
Being surrounded by a Juno 60, a DX7, a D50 & an M1 is.........đ„
Now I want to find one and just play with it. Being a music producer, this is a great tool to use.
John Daniel Esguerra exactly
Good luck finding one, but if you can get one then it will be amazing.
If Behringer happens to make a good Juno-60 clone, I'm gonna be all over it. Someone GAVE me a Juno 60 along with the sequencer module a long time ago, and while I enjoyed playing with it, I just didn't explore it enough and ended up selling it for some quick cash. Decent money at the time but nowhere near what a perfectly working Juno 60 in good condition goes for these days.
I agree that it would be sweet if Behringer did a 60 clone but I must say DM12 as a module is stellar and I want one despite the fact that it may not last a decade; I may not either đ€Ł
đ€đ€đ€
and when you get that buzz from drinking too much coffee ... 2:57 ... LOL
Of course it sounds good and is an iconic synth. However, its contemporary rival, the Korg PolySix, was even better due to its VCO and FX section.
I still have my Juno 6 with this famous double chorus
Still have my Juno-6 since 1984. A sneaky little thing about the transpose button, if you hold a chord and press transpose it will play that chord via one key but only one octave. I installed a little toggle switch in parallel with the transpose switch; hold a chord, flip the switch and it's locked on.
Sold mine in 86 and bought an esq1. Never regretted that
