I bought the TAL Juno 60 emulator today. It sounds so 80s it brings a smile to my face.

So I curious about well-known 80s songs on which the Juno 60 was actually used. I'd like to listen to them. Anyone have or know of a list? Or know of one or two?

I tried googling but didn't find much, although apparently Aha's Take on Me used the Juno 60 for the main theme.

Enya seems that she is a big fan of Juno-60. She plays Juno-60 in a lot of her music videos including the one as below;

She is not a pop star in 80's though. Smile

Man Parrish, He replied to a question I asked him, he used it on his first album in 1982/83...self titled "Man Parrish"

Hey,

Thanks for the great question...

Actually they were neither 808 or Linn Drum. They were programmed on a Prophet 5 synth, and manually played on the keyboard. Cool huh?

If fact, the whole album was done on 4 simple synths. Actually I owned 6 at the time, but used only 4, so if you carefully listen to "Six Simple Synthesizers" it tells about it all..lol. Here's what I used:

1-Prophet 5 (main synth)

2-Pro One (Bass lines and seq triggered via the 808 trigger out)

3-Synth Module & 8 Step Seq Module. (again triggered via 808 and hand stop and started to tape, to sync tracks. No midi back then to auto sync stuff!)

4-Roland Juno for chords, etc..

Two drum machines - 808 - (Linn Drum for the Heatstroke track only)

The majority was recorded on my 8 track 1/2" reel to reel in my bedroom, then xfered to 24 trk (MCI machine and mixing board) for vocals and minor additional tracks and mixing.. I believe a lot of the "sound" came from the Tascam 8 Channel Mixer and Tape Machine, since it had "warm" analog distortion as I usually ran the tracks into the red.. (didnt know much about recording back then)

Just goes to show you don't need 96+ tracks to make a good record.. Lol! In fact, here's a tip. Try limiting the amount of tracks you use. It forces you to have to THINK of what you are putting on your song, and makes for better and less bloated productions..

Hope all this helps and please feel free to post this on my behalf in the thread!

THANX !

Main track from the LP is Hip Hop, Be Bop(Don't Stop)

That's one of the sounds I always try copying when anything Juno comes up. Here's my TAL Uno LX copy of it Smile (Don't forget to add some reverb!)

At school they taught me how to be.
So pure in thought and word and deed.
They didn't quite succeed.

*Aha: Take on me.
Magne Furuholden told a norwegian music magazine "Musikkprasis" that the saw pattern in the intro was Juno 60.

I know that other places on the internet it says Prophet5, because it was in the studio at that time, but I think we have to trust the keyboard player.
