So our main priority in developing the JUNO series was to produce thick and dense sounds with just one oscillator. We used a one-oscillator design for the JUNO series to reduce its price, but its sound naturally ended up being thinner than say the JUPITER-8 or JX-3P, which used two oscillators. It has inspired numerous software emulations and Roland have released digitally-powered hardware synths inspired by the Juno-60 from 2015. It has experienced another resurgence in the 2010s and beyond, gaining popularity amongst modern pop, indie and synthwave artists. The Juno synths continued to be popular in the 1990s, being used by house and techno artists. A successor, the Juno-106, was introduced in 1984. The Juno-60 had an immediate impact in 1980s pop music, being used on hits such as " Take On Me" by A-ha and " Time After Time" by Cyndi Lauper. Its built-in chorus effect was designed to make up for the weaker sound of its single oscillator, and it went on to become its signature effect. The Juno-6 and Juno-60 were introduced as low-cost alternatives to polyphonic synths such as the Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 and Roland's own Jupiter-8.
The Juno synthesizers introduced Roland's digitally controlled oscillators, allowing for greatly improved tuning stability over its competitors. It followed the Juno-6, an almost identical synthesizer released months earlier. The Roland Juno-60 is an analog synthesizer manufactured by the Roland Corporation between 19.
