Interesting note from the listing on CV compatibility of the SH-5:

"In order to join this SH-5 to your standard CV/GATE network:
CV signal level shift mod installed on buyer's requrst, change coming standard CV signal (C=0[V] protocol) to F=0[V] (Roland old internal protocol SH-5 runs on).

GATE signal level shift mod installed on buyer's request, accept today's standard 5[V] GATE signal. (SH-5 requires at least 12-13[V] GATE SIGNAL to drive EGs right)"

"The G1 is a DSP based virtual analog modular synthesizer. It requries programming via Clavia's editor software, but is fully programmable and very powerful. The editor requires a PC running Windows 95 up to XP, or a Mac running OS 9 up to the latest version of MAC OS. The voice architecture of this synthesizer depends completely on how it is programmed and can configured to be anything from a complex monophonic synth, to a 32 voice poly synth, and anywhre in-between."

So, did the G1 name come only after the G2 was released? If not, then G1 is a user created name.

Battle of the Junos: Juno 106 vs Alpha Juno 2

Published on Sep 12, 2018 Starsky Carr

"Less of a battle, more of a chat... Jump to 21:00 to hear just some sounds.

An in depth look at the difference between these 2 of Roland's 1980's DCO polysynths.

The 106 has a big fat and Juicy filter
The alpha Junos have really flexible oscillators and envelopes

2:00 Alpha control options
4:00 Overview
5:00 Sawtooth
8:25 Sub Oscillators
9:50 Pulse/Square
13:08 Envelopes
15:05 Filters
19:33 Chorus
20:48 Some Sounds
27:15 Conclusion

There are loads of ways to control the Alphas now so the interface isn't the deal breaker it used to be... maybe the filter still is??"
