Thanks again to Stefan George for lending me his Roland MKS-50 for development work, and Cody Johnson for his Roland HS-10 (an Alpha Juno-1 in different clothing). Patch Base gives you quick and easy control over all of the sound parameters inside these synths no menu-diving or wheel-jogging required. It happened with the TR-808, the TB-303 and the subject of this Blast From the Past, the Alpha Juno. The JU2 even offered a cartridge slot for storing patches. These offered many improvements over the original instruments, with several new programming capabilities, backlit screens and, on the JU2, a velocity and aftertouchsensitive keyboard. The story is all-too familiar: Roland release an instrument to lacklustre response only to see it become a sought-after classic years after the sell-by date has passed. These were the fouroctave JU1 (Alpha Juno 1) and the fiveoctave JU2 (Alpha Juno 2). But that aside, you've got the same sound capabilities as the Alpha Juno keyboards. The Roland Alpha Juno originally sold for 575 when it was launched in 1985. The MKS-50 (photographed above by Lauren Slusher) is the same inside as the Alpha Junos, but with a little more in terms of performance setups, utilizing the weird 'Patch' structure that Roland also used in the D-110, which is like a precursor to the idea of 'Performances'.

And everything sounds sweeter with the Chorus turned on it's a Juno. Roland Jupiter-4 Roland Juno-106 Roland Juno-60 Roland JD-800 Roland SH-101 Roland JX-3P Roland D-50 Roland System-1 Roland System-8 Roland TR-707 Roland TR-808 Roland TR-909 More Roland VSTs Korg.

You can get round and punchy basses, hollow leads, and soft pads all with ease. But the sound of the oscillators and the resonant low-pass filter give you a classic Roland sound, and the minimal parameters let you quickly explore a lot of different sonic spaces. Never played one of these before but I like what Ive heard via youtube so at that price Im tempted. Like the Korg DW-8000, they don't have too many moving parts: your standard subtractive synth setup, and with only a single envelope and a single LFO. Ive been offered a Roland Alpha Juno 1 for £120 - it needs a replacement mod/pitch wheel but seems like a decent enough deal.

'Simple and classic' is how I would describe the Roland Alpha Junos.
