Roland Juno-60 Analog Synthesizer (1982) *Timeless Synth*

Published on May 15, 2018 RetroSound

"(c) 2018 vintage synthesizer demo by RetroSound

My favorite Synthesizer ever. Why? I love the sound. I love the user interface. I love the design. I love the music when the Juno plays. I love the reliability.

For me unique and I must say I like the Juno-60 a lot more as the big brother Jupiter-8.
A real classic.

I use in this short track only 5 Juno-60 sounds and the internal arpeggiatior. Multi-track recording and all played by hand. The result is a airy track. Timeless."

Roland JX3P Vintage Analog Poly Synthesizer Ableton Live Pack Jam 1- Summer Nights

I thought I would do something a little different this time and just make a few little tunes with the Ableton Pack sounds. This is the first one.

The Roland JX3P was the first synth I ever got my hands on. I still remember the day well, walking into Sam Ash Music and lusting after the new Korg MS2000 on display. I didn't know much about synths at the time, as a guitarist and songwriter I knew they would expand my sound palette, and with some basic piano knowledge I could at least play backing chords and melodies along with pieces I would write. Unfortunately, the MS2000 was 900 dollars, and being a teenager I definitely didn't have that. It didn't stop me from standing in front of it playing with all the sounds for a good half hour. Finally one of the store employees starting talking to me about synths, and suggested I check out the vintage used Roland JX3P they took in. It came with the PG200 Programmer, case, and manuals for both the programmer and synth for only 225 bucks. I heard the first preset and knew I was taking it home. It still makes its way onto most of my recordings."

Roland SH101 vs SH01A

Published on May 15, 2018 3rdStoreyChemist

"Comparison between an original SH101 and the SH01A synthesisers.

SH101 is panned left and the SH01A is panned right.

The levels of the two synths were matched for the initial setting (Saw wave at full volume, fully open filter with no resonance), all variances in levels thereafter is a result of the synths themselves."
