Common Roland Juno-60 Questions
How can I connect my Juno-60 to a MIDI setup and what are its limitations?
The Juno-60 does not have built-in MIDI. You'll need a MIDI retrofit kit installed to add MIDI capabilities, typically controlling note on/off, pitch bend, and possibly some parameters depending on the kit. Common retrofit kits were offered by companies such as Kenton.
How do I save and recall sounds on the Juno-60?
The Juno-60 does not have any internal memory for saving sounds. You must manually recreate sounds each time using the front panel controls and document your settings in a notebook or using software.
What's the best way to get started creating sounds on the Juno-60?
Start by understanding the DCO (Digitally Controlled Oscillator) section – experiment with different waveforms and the sub oscillator. Then, explore the filter and envelope sections to shape the sound's character and dynamics.
My Juno-60 is making crackling or hissing noises. What could be the problem?
Crackling or hissing can often be due to dirty potentiometers (pots) or switches. Try cleaning them with contact cleaner specifically designed for electronics; professional servicing may also be required.
What is the Chorus effect on the Juno-60 known for and how do I use it?
The Juno-60's Chorus is famous for its lush, warm, and wide sound. You engage it using the two Chorus buttons on the front panel; Chorus I is subtler, while Chorus II is more pronounced, and both can be used simultaneously.
