Roland JUNO-60 Introduction: The Roland Juno-60 is a 61-key, 6-voice, fully programmable polyphonic synthesizer. The Juno-60 includes memory capacity to retain up to 56 different synthesizer patches. (8 patches x 7 banks) Any program in memory can be temporarily edited during live performance, i.e, real-time editing. The Juno-60 features a battery back-up system to retain the programs even when switched off. The Tape Memory interface allows any patch programs to be saved into an ordinary tape recorder for storage and later retrieval. If connecting the Pedal Switch to the PATCH SHIFT jack, you can call the 8 patch programs stored in the same bank one after another, simply by pressing the pedal. The digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) guarantees an extremely stable pitch. This is the complete 6-voice, polyphonic synthesizer provided with 6 VCF's, 6 VCA's and 6 ENV's. Wide variation of the Arpeggio Patterns are available by changing the MODE and RANGE switches. The Chorus effect produces rich and expansive sounds. Transposition to any key is possible using the Transpose function. The Juno-60 can be driven by the MC-4 micro-composer using its PCB connector. It is necessary for you to understand the functions of the controls and delections of the Juno-60 perfectly to fully enjoy the advantages of the unit. Some setting examples are shown in this manual to make it easier for you to master how to operate the Juno-60, but you are the one who creates the sounds. Please find out your own setting and new ways of playing. IMPORTANT: Please do not turn the Power switch on immediately after turning it off; wait for a few seconds. Go to the Table of Contents
