I played all sounds dry without any external effects.
The Roland Alpha Juno-1 is an great analog, polyphonic, programmable synthesizer with MIDI. It came out 1985. Like all Junos, it has 1 oscillator and 1 suboscillator per voice. It also has a resonant 24 dB lowpassfilter as well as a highpass filter. The chorus effect is better than on earlier Junos - the modulation speed is variable.
The "tone modify" on the front panel allows someting like "easy edit" to tweak sounds easily (MOD RATE, MOD DEPTH, BRILLIANCE, ENV TIME). The most comfortable way to tweak sounds is using a programmer - but it also works with the alpha dial wheel.
To be honest, the best Juno sound comes from the Juno-6/60. Somewhat less fat sound offers the Juno-106, following the Alpha Juno series with the (relatively) weakest Juno sound. But don't get me wrong, the Alphas are anything but weak sounding - it's just that the Juno-60/6 have an insanely great sound, which can be topped at best by the Jupiter-8. But the Alpha Junos offer a decent sound and are affordable, compact and lightweight.
This video is from 2009 - I made a new Alpha Juno demo, which is much better (2015):
