    You can buy these patches - read the description for further details (scroll down).
    Synthesizer demo of the analog synthesizer Roland Alpha Juno(1) from 1985.
    In this movie I play some of my own sounds - on some sounds I added a small amount of delay effects from a Korg SDD-3000 or reverb from a Lexicon MPX-500. But no compressors or eq.
    The Alpha Juno has a similar voice architecture to the earlier Junos - but on the Alpha some things were enhanced: backlit display, variable chorus speed, a more complex envelope, the envelope can be routed to the pitch, additional waveforms for DCO and sub oscillator, the PWM has its own dedicated LFO, key velocity and aftertouch (can be routed to filter or/and volume).

      It does so much more than that sound, people unfortunately focus on the same thing too much another one is the dreaded “It sounds like Blade Runner” boring.

      because of good sound programming? ;-)

    • @evolutionarytheory
      @evolutionarytheory 6 років тому +6

      gridsleep It's actually a completely different oscillator and filter. The Alpha Juno-1 uses 2 state-variable 12dB filters in series, and the Jupiter 8 uses a 4-pole cascade filter. The Alpha Juno-1 uses DCO's and the Jupiter 8 discrete VCO's. So there is literally no electrical similarity.

    • @lundsweden

    Juno 1 and 2 has exact same sound? Or are different?
    I am planing to buy one of them, but somebody say it is the same, and others that are different, chorus are not the same.... So I want to ask it
    I know the big difference are in size and velocity/aftertouch

      to my ears they sound identical

    • @robcarter6599
      @robcarter6599 5 років тому +1

      The difference is that the 2 had 5 octaves and was touch sensitive. The 1 was only 4 and not touch sensitive. It’s the same sound engine.

    @skyreadersociety6183 7 років тому

    I can remember that chord memory preset Nr. 15 with the MKS-50 is unison, i.e 6 voices on one note without this hack (see manual p. 40). Not sure if this works with both keyboard versions (i.e Juno 1 and Juno 2)

      you load them into your synth via MIDI. You need a computer with MIDI interface. Exact instructions are included in the package.

    Have you assign velocity parameters to VCA or VCF for use with midi or JU2?

    • @AnalogAudio1
      @AnalogAudio1  9 років тому +2

      mmrva yes, of course! It's important, since velocity is received through MIDI on both Alpha Juno 1 and 2.

      I have both and Juno is more solid synth. On the other hand, Poly 800 sounds more "intergalactic".

    • @EG-gt7te
      @EG-gt7te Рік тому

      Poly 800 is nothing but a plastic thing with thin and annoying DCOs and chorus. The filter is feeble from the factory, but moog slayer mod makes it a tad funkier. But this synth is still cheapo. Look for Poly-61 or DW-6000/8000, they sound way better.

    • @JobimSynthMusic
      @JobimSynthMusic 5 років тому

      what matters is that both have the same system and programmability, so you can program velocity and aftertouch parameters in Juno 1 and control the synth externally. that's how I do it. here's an example using only 1 patch ua-cam.com/video/z_StgWifVCg/v-deo.html
