The first in a series of amazingly affordable quality synthesizers from Roland's amazing Juno family! The Juno-6 is a six voice polyphonic analog synthesizer! It's a very stable synth thanks to its digitally controlled analog oscillators. The Juno-6 sounds great, however it lacks basic necessities like MIDI control and patch memory storage.

The next generation Juno-60 version added 56 patches of memory storage. Both of these synths sound virtually the same and are considered by many to sound better (punchier) than the popular follow up, the Juno-106. The Juno-6 and 60 are very rich sounding synthesizers and are great analog machines as long as you can overlook the absence of MIDI control. Of course nobody can deny that the wooden side panel look is a true sign of Vintage status! The Junos have been used by Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran, Enya, Sean Lennon, Sneaker Pimps, Vince Clarke of Erasure and Banco De Gaia.

ok so whats the difference in sound between Juno-6 and Juno-60, anybody who OWNED both of them and can compare - it says "Both of these synths sound virtually the same" - in other words that means "they sound a bit different" - id like to buy JUNO-6 or JUNO-60 but i dont have a chance to compare... which one is better sonically - i dont care about patch memory - i want the best sounding JUNO... thanks

I've owned this instrument since 1995 and I love it. Previously I used it for playing live chords, basslines and create effects. Recently I've use the arpeggio clock to sync it with MIDI through audio signals from another device, such as a drum machine. Fun to play with and it sounds great. Glad I didn't sell it...

not overly complex but at least in my setup hands down the best sounding synthesizer. you won't approach it for the far out stuff you'd get e.g. out of something as tripped out as an OB12, but you will turn to it for the beautiful, "expensive" sounding elements.

no a physics lab but a mature, very very well sounding instrument. highly recommended.

@sonic boy... Glad you did you research on price. you should have no problem making lots of money off of the real world. SH-201, GAIA, or JX-3P???? First of all a Jx-3p is not as cool of a board as a juno. Second of all a Roland GAIA and sh201 arent analogue synths at all. If you are comparing modeling and virtual synths to a roland juno 6 you are way off base. Have you been taking advice from the guys in the keyboard dept at the Guitar Center again?

@sonic boy I don't know what universe you're living in, but you can't get a Juno-6 for under $250. Not one that works or isn't completely beat to hell, anyway.
