ROLAND ALPHA JUNO 1 / ALPHA JUNO 2 | New Custom Patches | Analog Synthesizer | HD DEMO

[@AnalogAudio1]

Do you want these patches (sounds) for your ALPHA JUNO? You can buy these patches. Read the video description for details.

[@lovecraftmusic8717]

Just wow... as good as the JX8p but with more sounds

[@MrJuicyHamburger]

1:38 sounds so warm and nostalgic with the brass patch. It reminds me of 80's movie music.

[@robcarter6599]

This was my second synth and the first I bought with my own money as a teenager.

[@LeePresson]

The Alpha Juno 1 was my first synth and I loved it so much that I immediately bought an MKS-50, its rackmount equivalent, as well. The keyboard is long gone but I still have the rackmount!

[@6Mega6Man6]

4:14 sounds sick, I borrowed one of these keyboards from my friend for a few months one time, and thought it sounded pretty good, but this demo sounds totally awesome

[@gofmarshal]

Вот это звук! Аж мурашки по коже, звуки детства, жаль сейчас никто на них не исполняет композиции в старом стиле. That is the sound! Already goosebumps, the sounds of childhood, now no pity on them fails to comply with the composition in the old style.

[@kiticanax1421]

8:40 is the best part.

[@1stClassMusik]

Cool! Mein erster Synth! Und der läuft immer noch... ;) Dafür hatte ich sogar einen Editor für den AtariST in GfA-Basic geschrieben.

[@coldwar1977]

I was expecting the "Hoover" patch and several clichéd rave sounds, but instead we got a real demo. Good job!! :-)

[@ogasi1798]

Excellent demo of a great synth.

[@AnalogAudio1]

jamie munro thanks :-)

[@ChrisNova777]

great demo u guys have a great channel very much appreciated thanks for your contributions on youtube!

[@AnalogAudio1]

thanks!

[@Mvilette]

I'm between those two synth right now, did you buy one ?

[@SyncdAlien]

Nice demo! 👍

[@WV591]

Amazing sounding little DCO synth. i always regretted selling mine.

[@adamharris7775]

In the The Stepfather (1987), the Roland Alpha Juno-2 patch “Hoover” was heard.

[@georgegeorgio1751]

It does so much more than that sound, people unfortunately focus on the same thing too much another one is the dreaded “It sounds like Blade Runner” boring.

[@SoundsAndGear]

Sounds great!

[@SirMillz]

The filter decay time on that first patch is rad!! Nice work through out as usual!!

[@AnalogAudio1]

thanks!

[@Chillnote]

Wow, that is my kind of sound

[@braien25980]

Love my DX7, this one will match perfect🤙🏻 i don't like to finger around with various parameters. Edit the sounds in my Digitakt, envelope, filter….

[@goo9637]

I just ordered an Alpha Juno 2 only because of this video :-) Great demonstration !

[@AnalogAudio1]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@WhiteBull_33]

How do you like them?

[@adamharris7775]

In the Roland Alpha Juno-1 patch “Unknown”? was heard in FrankJavCee - Simpsonwave1995.

[@gerardsyd8320]

De jolis Pad , Fx , Bass ! Sympa et efficace , bravo

[@funkmachine6420]

Really want one of these

[@Dalek22comments]

0:19 to 1:16, Love it :)

[@lookapi]

Nice sounds!!👌🏼👌🏼✌

[@DadoSimicStudiostriver]

Pretty nice upgrade

[@domenico_66]

Bellissimi suono

[@MrSkywalker1000]

Das ist echt ein Wolf im Schafspelz.Von aussen gesehen ahnt man nicht was für großartige Leads und Flaechensounds in diesem kleinen Synthi stecken.Tolle Demo von diesem Klassiker.;-)

[@AnalogAudio1]

MrSkywalker1000 das ist wohl wahr.... danke!

[@DadoSimicStudiostriver]

Pretty solid.

[@Avslappnandeljud]

Would be awesome to have this as a Kontakt library as I have no space left for more Synthesizers in my tiny man cave.

[@larsbergen6126]

Didn't you consider the Roland MKS-50 Rackmodule of the Alpha-Synths?!

[@evetsnitram8866]

If was my first synth then I bought a U20 that had aftertouch and an arpeggiator and I would use it to play the Alpha 1 and it opened another side to it.

[@bobadork]

thought I heard john waite at 2:30. devo at 2:39. serious stevie wonder at 6:20.

[@emusounds]

God dammit, I just want the Atari sound, looks like I'm listening to it over and over till I can get it right haha.

[@Sjobeck7]

Sometimes when I close my eyes, I no longer hear a Juno 1 but I hear a Roland Jupiter 8. Why is this???

[@AnalogAudio1]

because of good sound programming? ;-)

[@evolutionarytheory]

gridsleep It's actually a completely different oscillator and filter. The Alpha Juno-1 uses 2 state-variable 12dB filters in series, and the Jupiter 8 uses a 4-pole cascade filter. The Alpha Juno-1 uses DCO's and the Jupiter 8 discrete VCO's. So there is literally no electrical similarity.

[@lundsweden]

They do sound different, yet I'd argue the AJ's still have that Roland sound, just a different flavor of it

[@adamharris7775]

In some probably 1985 and probably 1988 songs, the Oberheim DMX and Roland Alpha Juno-1 patch “Noise Shots” are heard and Simmons SDS 8 were heard.

[@skyreadersociety6183]

I can remember that chord memory preset Nr. 15 with the MKS-50 is unison, i.e 6 voices on one note without this hack (see manual p. 40). Not sure if this works with both keyboard versions (i.e Juno 1 and Juno 2)

[@RyanParkerTV]

Do these work on the MKS-50?

[@AnalogAudio1]

Never tried, I don't know.

[@javiergarcia6297]

Juno 1 and 2 has exact same sound? Or are different? I am planing to buy one of them, but somebody say it is the same, and others that are different, chorus are not the same.... So I want to ask it I know the big difference are in size and velocity/aftertouch

[@AnalogAudio1]

to my ears they sound identical

[@robcarter6599]

The difference is that the 2 had 5 octaves and was touch sensitive. The 1 was only 4 and not touch sensitive. It’s the same sound engine.

[@yannremy3081]

Nice demo :-) I m wondering if I could approach Juno 60 sounds by editing

[@Bo-rv8om]

For some sounds yes, but the filter and chorus are quite different from the earlier Juno's imo.

[@AnalogAudio1]

Yes, that's true.

[@mmrva]

Have you assign velocity parameters to VCA or VCF for use with midi or JU2?

[@AnalogAudio1]

mmrva yes, of course! It's important, since velocity is received through MIDI on both Alpha Juno 1 and 2.

[@zaccampbell87]

Is it still possible to buy the sample pack?

[@AnalogAudio1]

Still selling, but these are sound settings for the Alpha Juno, not a sample pack. If you wish to purchase, see description for contact.

[@elioth84]

great demo! what is the arrpegiator you used?

[@AnalogAudio1]

elioth84 the Doepfer Dark Time Sequencer.

[@KurtFuller]

This one or a Korg Poly800?

[@gxlxn]

I have both and Juno is more solid synth. On the other hand, Poly 800 sounds more "intergalactic".

[@EG-gt7te]

Poly 800 is nothing but a plastic thing with thin and annoying DCOs and chorus. The filter is feeble from the factory, but moog slayer mod makes it a tad funkier. But this synth is still cheapo. Look for Poly-61 or DW-6000/8000, they sound way better.

[@albertwesker2050]

for your pads do you use hpf?

[@AnalogAudio1]

I think some of them.

[@albertwesker2050]

@@AnalogAudio1 I find it hard to get the alpha 1 to have a deep sound on but not overwhelming when making patches. Your tones sound even though!

[@jamesflowers874]

How do you access the custom patches? Do you NEED a computer attached to your system for the custom patches to work?

[@AnalogAudio1]

you load them into your synth via MIDI. You need a computer with MIDI interface. Exact instructions are included in the package.

[@scottlarson1548]

So it sounds a whole lot like a Juno-106.

[@AnalogAudio1]

Yeah, the analog Roland sound...

[@capthook1]

nice! I have an alpha Juno 2, what’s the main difference between the 1 and 2?

[@AnalogAudio1]

longer keyboard, velocity and cartridge storage on the Ju2

[@JobimSynthMusic]

@@AnalogAudio1 and JU2 has aftertouch (originally - whether it's still working in 2019 is another story)

[@JobimSynthMusic]

what matters is that both have the same system and programmability, so you can program velocity and aftertouch parameters in Juno 1 and control the synth externally. that's how I do it. here's an example using only 1 patch kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJC2pZqNnsuJeck

[@J._Campbell]

3:20, 3:40, 8:40 are best for me)

[@tavil1296]

if only it had an arpeggiator

[@B1SCOOP]

At 3:17 you accidentally played leitmotif from "Little Prince" album by Marek Biliński. It's also analog synth-based. Link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rouyYaKceplrj8U

[@AnalogAudio1]

it's a different melody, and never heard of that :-D

[@B1SCOOP]

@@AnalogAudio1 maybe not entire melody, but the beginning of it. Check out his '80s albums, you won't be disappointed.

[@nihilvoid4112]

If you had to pick between the Alpha Juno 1 and the DW6000 which would you go for? Also have you ever tried the Ensoniq Mirage? CheersAlex

[@AnalogAudio1]

hard to say... I don't like samplers very much, I found it impossible to work with the Mirage. But I have a Prophet-2000, but unfortunately 2 voices do not sound.

[@nihilvoid4112]

AnalogAudio1 what about between the DW/Alpha 1?

[@AnalogAudio1]

different personalities, you can't say one is better than the other

[@kzm4275]

totally different, user of αJ2/DW8000 here. Would go with the αJ2, if I had to choose. Better sound overall.

[@AdamSamuelHarris]

1986 was wrong and 1985 was right.

[@scottbirch968]

A sincere thank you.

[@adamharris7775]

Scott Birch You're welcome.
