2 of my favorite tv composers, Shukey Levvie and bob singleton, used the juno106 for the music of Saturday Supercade and barney and the backyard gang, respectively. the former used the funny cat patch as a whacky brass sound for the donkey kong and pitfall cartoon segments, while the ladder used the preset Donnald pluck as a stacado banjo sound in 2 episodes.
8:45 to me is were the magic happens.. I love those airy atmospheric chords.. What a way to end the video! BTW..MJ is what I get from the progression at the end.
Absolutely love your videos! So informative and straight to the point. Keep them coming. Only friendly request is if you could post the settings for each patch that’d be amazing! Thanks for everything! :)
I always thought it was almost like having six ARP Axxe engines in one chassis. So many awesome features - but the dealbreaker for me was always the absence of an option to create a tuned fifth in monophonic mode.
My first real synth I bought when I was in High School. Now I am almost 50 and I still own it. I had and still do have the big ones from that period. Roland Juno 106, Yamaha DX7 and a Korg M1.
@@liammurphymusic9962 The DX7 and M1 are mostly "patch based" synths. You load pre-built sounds, and you can modulate/change their expression while playing. They both offer the biggest variety of sounds too. On some patches, the M1 has a "cheap keyboard" sound, but the DX7 sounds more impressive (just my opinion). DX7 has that classic 80's sound, M1 is great for house/dance etc. The Juno 106 is different. You can save a few patches, but it's less versatile in sounds. It's a "do it yourself" synth; you control every part of it. But that unique, spacey character might be what you're looking for. That's my input anyway, all three are great synths :)
@@adamgreenhill110 Probalby the DX-7. The Korg has a cheap piano sound but it still sounds more realistic than the DX7. Nothing beats the electric piano sounds of the DX7. They all have their place. The juno is analog. Or just buy a newer keyboard that can do it all. Like a Yamah MODX
Love your videos mate. I have a suggestion for you guys. Get a black table cloth with Doctor Mix logo screen printed so you can place it under your synth! Would look cool and personal. ;)
amazing video, love to see the mutual passion. only at 9 12 when you started to play human nature by michael jackson the sound seemed to change to more resonance or more filter and it seemed like you didnt change a thing, how is this possible?
I just picked up one of these a few weeks ago--a co-worker literally GAVE it to me. It didn't have a power cord, and he didn't want it. (He had gotten it free from his church.) I used the cord from my Korg DW-8000, and it powered right up! It is, without a doubt, the most ridiculously easy synth to program. It sounds VERY similar to the Korg Poly-800 (but NOT the DW-8000, which is completely different), but because the controls are on the panel itself, I was able to reproduce some classic sounds I used to get from my old Poly-800 in mere seconds.
1985 - My very First Synth coupled with a Korg MS10 for right hand solos....the Juno 106 introduced me to the fantastic world of Roland Synths...and I still with Roland since...
A very good synth to learn how use a synth. I have the Korg Kronos and really couldn't make heads or tails on how make those cool sounds. So, I went back and purchased one of these older synths and the most basic elements that you need to make all those cool sounds are right there right in front of you. There are no unnecessary knobs and buttons. You just experiment and learn what knob/slider does what. With that I've found I can manipulate the Kronos much easier now albeit you have to go in a dig onto the screen and find what you're looking in order to get the sound you want. If you go out and buy (3K or more) the latest Roland/Yamaha/whatever there are knob/buttons/sliders everywhere. A beginner in synth playing like me will never get off the ground. This is a great sounding synth and a good synth to start learning on.
I tuoi video sono stupendi, trasmettono la passione per la musica e per gli strumenti musicali che evidentemente hai. Non conoscevo molti di questi strumenti, ma ho sempre apprezzato i tipici suoni anni 70 e 80. Con questi video sto scoprendo un nuovo mondo. Grazie. Molto bravo! CIAO!
Use the main start noise, max the resonance, add good distortion, (Boss MT-2 pedal if you have it) max the noise and you have daft punks Rollin and scratchin in a nutshell. There's other details but that's the jist.
the juno-106 and the sh-101 just keep climbing higher and higher in price. to the point of ridiculousness, if i'm honest. i've seen them being sold online and in person for well over a thousand dollars, even in bad cosmetic and operational condition. i get that they're vintage rolands and all, but you would you folks seriously fork over that much money for single oscillator synths from over 30 years ago?
