"The Juno 60The design of the Juno 60 has to be one of the best Roland ever produced in terms of simplicity of sound design and warmth of character. The Juno 60 has been a ‘go-to’ synth for working musicians wanting that vintage sound for quite a while now. It kind of defies logic that a DCO synth could deliver such a lush and musical tone, and it won the hearts and minds of all synthesists who’d had the opportunity to own or play one.
This is, we feel, the cleanest all original example we have had through our business, with the buttons and keys so clean and white, it’s like looking at a brand new machine. Included in the sale is the original Roland Patch Program Data Cassette and owners manual.
This synth sounds and operates like all Juno 60 should, and KSR have fully serviced the synth, so it’s 100% working perfectly and good to go. Aside the DCB Port, here is no modern MIDI retrofit to this example, but as it’s in such beautiful original condition it would be such a shame to drill holes into the pristine metal panel. Kenton still produce a Pro-DCB MIDI converter, so we would recommend going this route to maintain the originality for MIDI functionality, but if you must have a more sophisticated MIDI access then please call and speak to us about what options are available and costs etc.
The Juno JSQ-60
This was Roland’s solution to a dedicated polyphonic sequencer for the Juno 60, which connects via the proprietary DCB port on the synth from sequencer. A useful 2000 step unit that’s simple to use and the effective partner for it time.
As you can see from the photos, the unit comes still contained within its original EO retail packaging. The cosmetic condition is excellent with only tiny areas showing any imperfections, and we have provided some photos below that show all angles of the sequencer so you can get a feel for it’s overall quality.
KSR have fully serviced the synth, so it’s 100% working perfectly and good to go, and we have purchased a brand new 9V DC 1A external power-supply (UK model) for this, which is included in the price.
The Boss KM-60 6-Channel Analogue Mixer
A very well known and sought after analogue mixer that Boss produced in the later 1970s. Its a stereo 6-channel machine that offers onboard EQ, effects sends and panning, some lovely VU-meters and a beautiful aesthetic that fits perfectly with the Juno-60 and JSQ-60. There’s a lot of love for this little mixer, we used to own one back in the day so know it well and have fond memories of our ownership. Certainly, you can buy a lot more ‘mixer’ these days, but period correct equipment has a uniques appeal and the KM-60, especially in this condition, is very much collectable and only set to become more desirable as the years go by.
As you can see from the pictures, it’s is fantastic cosmetic condition with only the smallest evidence that tells you this mixer is over 40 years old.
KSR have fully serviced the mixer, cleaning all the potentiometers, jack-sockets and re-capped the PSU, so it’s 100% working perfectly. We all know that mixers impart a lot of character to the tone of the instruments used through them, and the KM-60 was produced with the Roland product set being sold at that time in mind, so the Juno-60 is the perfect partner for it. Its a trackable mixer but this example has never been used that was so is completely unblemished…stunning."
