Detailed Features & Benefits

Legendary Roland Analogue Sound

Originally introduced in the early 1980s, the Roland JUNO-60 helped define the sound of an era. Its distinctive analogue architecture produces everything from smooth, atmospheric pads and shimmering chords to punchy bass sounds and cutting synthesizer leads. Its approachable design and powerful sonic character have made it a longstanding favourite in electronic music, synth-pop, ambient, house and modern studio production.

Digitally Controlled Oscillators

At the heart of the JUNO-60 are six digitally controlled analogue oscillator voices. Each voice offers sawtooth and pulse waveforms, alongside a sub-oscillator and noise generator for additional tonal depth. Pulse-width modulation provides further movement and texture, allowing musicians to create everything from soft, evolving sounds to thick, harmonically rich synthesizer tones.

Expressive Analogue Filtering

The JUNO-60 features Roland's characterful voltage-controlled low-pass filter, complete with adjustable cutoff frequency, resonance, envelope modulation and keyboard tracking. A separate high-pass filter provides additional control over the frequency response. Together, these allow players to move effortlessly between warm, rounded tones and brighter, more resonant sounds, with the filter capable of self-oscillation at higher resonance settings.

Iconic Roland Stereo Chorus

One of the JUNO-60's most recognisable features is its built-in analogue chorus. Two selectable modes provide different levels of width and modulation, transforming simple oscillator sounds into lush, spacious textures. This distinctive chorus is particularly effective for atmospheric pads, expansive chord voicings and shimmering synth sounds, and remains a defining part of the original JUNO sound.

Programmable Patch Memory

Unlike its predecessor, the JUNO-6, the JUNO-60 offers 56 programmable patch memory locations, allowing users to save and instantly recall their own sounds. This makes it particularly practical for live performance and studio sessions, where quick access to different tones is essential. A dedicated manual mode also allows the current front-panel settings to control the sound directly.

Built-In Arpeggiator & Performance Controls

The JUNO-60 includes an onboard arpeggiator with selectable up, down and up/down patterns, adjustable rate and three octave-range settings. Combined with the keyboard hold function, octave transpose controls and pitch-bend lever, it offers a surprisingly expressive performance experience. An external arpeggiator clock input also allows synchronisation with compatible equipment.

Vintage Connectivity

The JUNO-60 features Roland's proprietary DCB (Digital Communication Bus) connection for communication with compatible vintage Roland equipment. It also provides mono and stereo audio output connections, headphone output, pedal connections and an external arpeggiator clock input. The original JUNO-60 does not feature factory-fitted MIDI connectivity, although compatible third-party interface solutions exist.
