Roland Alpha Juno 2

Tell me everything you know about it. I can't find much about it.

The hoover patch, autochord, easy to program, a classic rave synth. I want one.

Main reason I want one.

What everyone else said, plus Roland's most acidic filter after 303/101/202.

Also this track is (to my MKS-50 owning ears) all Alpha Juno:

digital_boy___gimme_a_fat_beat__1989_blue_flowers_records__mentalp_.mp3Fetching info...

I'm not even 1000% all those people who use hoovers bought a Juno, I was under the impression that most of them just sampled Mentasm.

If you own the actual synth, you can create infinite tonal variations on the hoover. Like the somewhat mild hoovering in the track I posted.

So really you just need 3 Square waves at different octaves with PWM modulated by an LFO, run through a chorus?

No?

Except the Alpha Juno only has one oscillator

Yah well I don't have one and the wiki link posted above says hoover is 3 square waves at different octaves, so

Also, vintagesynth says the Juno-2 has 3 DCO's.

it has a pulse dco,saw dco + noise and sub osc. looks like more then one to me

that's prolly still 1 DCO capable of saw/pul, PLUS a noise, PLUS a sub. looks like one to me.

I only fucks with the HS-60.

The Juno 2 has 3 seperate oscillators, as mentioned above.

No it doesn't you fucking spoon.

It has a single DCO per voice. Because it's a DCO, it can generate a mix of waveforms off one oscillator. Each voice also has a sub oscillator slaved to the main oscillator. Sub oscillators aren't included in a traditional oscillator count, since they are slaved to the main oscillator and can't be independently pitched.

You do know that Vintage Synth Explorer is notoriously inaccurate and hasn't been updated for 7 years, right?

Try a site that knows what rhe fuck it's on about, like Sealed or Synthmania.

Ahh...that makes sense. Convinced I be. :)

Hence in my Nord Modularized example the next two OSC's are slaved to the orignal and cannot be pitched independantly of it.
