I'm of the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' mould of servicing.I used to be horrified of people in work who had religious service regimes (that always seemed to require overtime working. ) that involved taking mainframe computers to pieces, cleaning edge connector contacts, etc. Which causes no end of reliability issues as you eat into the maximum insertion/extraction life cycles of connectors. If an electronic device is together and working, leave it well alone!That's not to say that vintage electronics does not need some TLC now and again, but don't go looking for problems. Just my opinion of course, but in all the years of ownership of the gear I have, i have only had a few broken keys (easily fixed) and a failed EX5 PSU. Occasionally some edge connector/ribbon connector contacts have required reseating, but that's about it.

Take care, BEWARE of the greedy leaders! They'll take you where you should not go - (George Harrison)IT'S TRUE - 'MONEY TALKS' - TO ME, IT MOSTLY SAYS 'GOODBYE'. Very nice bit of software that Chris and for just £20 too!By the way if anyone is ever wondering why these things time out in KONTAKT PLAYER it's to do with the way NI licensing works and is the reason why the full version of KONTAKT.with which this won't time out is so expensive.
Vendors can either pay a license fee to Native Instruments so that their products will work as full non time limited versions in the 'free' KONTAKT PLAYER' or choose not to pay that license fee in which case their software will only work in demo mode.Having said that, the 'demo mode' does last about 10 minutes before the sound cuts out and you can then just reload it again. Apart from that their are no other limitations that I am aware of so it may be worth spending £20 on the Hollow Sun 'YouKnow 6' and downloading the free KONTAKT PLAYER?
Sep 26, 2017 - Synths like the Roland Juno 106, Korg MS-20, and Yamaha DX7 have been. Splits the keyboard into two sections, each with a different patch. A selection of various patches from my Tyros 3 and Juno G. Our new desktop experience was built to be your music destination. Listen to official albums & more.
Roland Juno-60 audio demosFACTORY BANK 'A':Preset name with audio demoMy commentsSmall chamber orchestra strings. Very nice.Much larger string section (you can definitely hearthe classic Chorus II here).Darker version of the above. Very hypnotic-great for soundtrack workThe good ole Hammond. This version has anabundance of 'key click'. The tone is really smooth and this soundcould pass for the real thing with some nice effects and a Lesliesimulator.More Hammond. This version seems to have morehigh drawbars pulled.
It's definitely brighter and would be goodfor Gospel styles.Another organ. This is one is cool both forchurch and jazz music.A classic analog-brass patch. Forsome reason this patch reminds of a synthesizer I used to play in the'80s - the SIEL Opera 6.A variation of the above.
The phasing effect isobtained through the use of PWM and Chorus I.This sound merely resembles a piano - but hey, for ananalog synth from 1982, that's as good as it gets.This wants to be a Fender-Rhodes electric piano withtremolo effect. And it does!Very beautiful, gentle sound. Would be greatfor New Age pieces.A filtered version of patch 21 - with light vibratoon the tail. It is haunting, dramatic and would work well forballads (although nothing beats the in that department.).Standard harpsichord sound.
Will work well forclassical music or '60's rock (i.e. The Doors)More 'produced', glossy version of the above.The factory-preset envelope of this patch is set tosustain quite a bit - not like a guitar would do.
However, it'seasy enough to edit. Good sound for Flamenco atmospheres.Generic synth sound.I guess this was intended to resemble a FenderPrecision bass. Not completely, but as a synthy bass is great.And now we enter the Moog arena! Agreat-sounding, warm and squiggly synth bass. A great patchfor everything from '70s funk styles, to '80s synth-pop!!!For Clavichord here is intended 'Clavinet', Hohner'smasterpiece and the King Keyboard of Funk. Nice emulation.Variation of the above, with a more metallic tone,and wah-wah effect obtained with VCF LFO.Dreamy, soft synthesizer sound, with hauntingvibrato. The softer side of the Juno-60.
This sound would workwell with the on-board.A cross between a toy-box and a carillon.Great emulation of a xylophone.Cool sound - notice how well the high frequencies arereproduced - usually those sounds are domain of the FM synthesizers.(I guess it's a typo: should be 'Violin'without the 'e')A well programmed violin sound. The delayed vibrato in particularhits the spot.Not stellar, but usable.Right on - great emulation!GREAT patch!Honest flute emulation. It would work better inmono-mode.Well-programmed.
Would fool many people withthe help of effects.The wooden quality is well represented in this patch.Great job!Again, a very good emulation of the real thing!And here we are again in Funk-Land!! After 20seconds I start manipulating the pitch bender assigning the VCF to it -it really sounds like a cat, doesn't it?:DGreat for scoring cartoons like Caillou, TeleTubbies,or Clifford the big red dog (yes, I have kids.)Aaaahhh. A typical '80 sound!This doesn't sound like a reed at all. Maybe aglitch in the cassette factory file?Obviously inspired from Hot Butter'sSounds more like a celesta or something.Similar to a clarinet.(Typo: should be 'PWM' for Pulse Modulation Width)ANALOG!!!!!!!
Similar to the patch used for the synth line in 'Sweet Dreams'! What a great, powerful, inspiringpatch!Very warm synth sound.Effective sound with interesting filter envelope.Very powerful, analog sound! It shakesthe walls! What's interesting is that so many Virtual Analogsnowadays try to emulate these kinds of sounds.Definitely spacey (but the VCA envelope is too long).Great for scoring Sci-Fi movies.Yep - that's exactly it! Check out how fatand huge these synth sounds are!!Just a beautiful, rising synthesizer patch. Addheavy reverb and your spooky soundtrack is ready.I'll give this preset a prize for the originalpatch name:D!
Cool patch, though.Great synth sound, mysterious, hypnotic, evolving.reminds of the Prophet-VS almost!Typical analog percussion.More like laser guns on a spaceship.Uncanny emulation! Excellent programming.Great for horror-movie scenes.
Reminds me a bitof Wendy Carlos' style.Classic extraterrestrial kind of sound.Typo: should be 'Space Sound 3'Once again a great sound from the Juno-60. Better used for FX andatonal background work.What do you do when you can't find that Special FXsample CD and you need a sea wave effect? Grab the Juno.aka Simmons. In vogue during the end of the'70s/early '80sFACTORY BANK 'B' - (The names of these presets werekindly provided by Andrew Nicholls - from the original manual.)Preset name with audio demoMy comments(note: these comments were left before I found out the names of thesepatches. So it's interesting to see what I thought the sounds were, andthe differences from Roland programmer's intent.)A beautiful string ensemble, with 'sea sickness'vibrato. Reminds me a bit of the sound at the beginning of 'DeepHoney' by Goldfrapp (a very beautiful song, by the way.)12Mid StringsAnother string ensemble showcasing the famous Roland'Chorus II'13High StringsLush violins and violas14Staccato StringsWarm violasMuted brass sound. Original Factory banks (from the Juno-60 companioncassette)- Load this modulatedtone into the synth's 'LOAD' input to load up the Factory presets.
Be sureto spend some time in doing this, and don't get discouraged if the firstattempts fail. The synth is very susceptible to the kind of signal itreceives. The best way I've found out is to start with sending a prettyhot signal out of the computer to the LOAD input on the Juno. The displaywill show 'Er' for error because it's too loud. Then gradually lower thevolume down by small increments.
You have to try loading the.wav fileevery time. After a few (very frustrating) attempts, you will find theright volume and the Juno will load the presets, showing '-' on the display atthe end. Be sure to start the.wav file (the lead tone) and press the LOADbutton when the lead tone is running, right before the modulated (soundslike a modem) tone is heard. That's the sign that the loading wassuccessful - whew!! Read the manual for more details on loading or saving soundsfrom cassette (or from your computer audio output). It'salso best to use a mono cable.- same as above, forFactory presets bank B. Roland Juno-60 features.
