Juno-60

Stable tuning, unstable heart.

The Juno-60 uses digitally controlled oscillators, so it stays in tune, and pairs them with an analog filter and amplifier. It has one oscillator per voice, a sub-oscillator and a chorus with two buttons that became famous in their own right.

Chorus I and II spread a simple sawtooth into something wide and shimmering. It was affordable, and it ended up in countless bedrooms and on many hit records.
