A 6-voice
polyphonic analog/
digital hybrid
synthesizer with a 61-note
keyboard. Released in
1983.
The Juno-60 offers a single
DCO per voice, switchable between
sawtooth,
pulse (with
PWM) and
square waveforms. Pulse width can be
modulated by the LFO or the envelope generator. There is also a sub-
oscillator fixed to square wave.
The
filter section contains a 4-pole
resonant low-pass
VCF plus a non-resonant high-pass one with 4 fixed settings. The former filter can be simultaneously modulated by the LFO, the EG and keyboard tracking. External VCF
input is also included.
One single-waveform
LFO is shared between all voices and features typical controls for
rate and
delay. The
VCA offers one
ADSR EG.
Other features include an
internal memory that holds up to 56 user
patches (64 in a
special mode -
thanks chrisjh!) with a
tape interface for more storage. There is also a simple
arpeggiator, plus a
chorus effect. The Juno-60 predates
MIDI, so only a DCB interface is available for external sync.
Famous users include
