In reality, the days in my youth when I got free reign over my half-brother's Roland Juno-60 let me in on the world of waveforms and how music happens the way it does. Of course, in those days, I'd then hafta ride my bike over to the library and get books on what it all meant. I'd tie an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time.

I believe one of the old Juno's is what Johnathan Cain (Journey) used to make the keyboard intro to "Separate Ways."  

.....which is what I spent half my time doing last Saturday morning, using one of Logic Pro's digital synths to recreate that sound, instead of working on the church's music like I was supposed to.  

I can't be blamed for that.  Priorities.  If you claim to work with synths and you don't have VH's "Jump" and the Separate Ways one, you have nothing :)

I don't know much about a-ha outside of that song, but I always thought that guy was an underrated vocalist.  He hits some pretty high notes in full voice.  Fine, so did a lot of guys in the 80's.  But he also hits some pretty low notes in that song....lower than the average 80's singer whose range was up in the rafters could go.  Dude has/had a pretty impressive vocal range, I always thought.

Yeah I liked them pretty well-- well enough to have bought their first couple of albums, anyway. The other big hit off their first album was "The Sun Always Shines On TV" and then my favorite from their second album was called "Manhattan Skyline."

If possible, Sun Always Shines is even more a-ha than Take On Me ever was...

Roland's Juno line were budget, single oscillator versions of "real" touring keyboards like the Prophet-5. Both models were right there at the end of the "analog" keyboard world right before Fairlight and SynClavier debuted their digital ones that included sampling and graphics. Of course, they also cost more than the studios that held them.

Right now, the damned Rolands cost more than they originally did! There's a resurgence in synthwave and the recreation of those late 70's/early 80's sounds.

Oh wow, they sure do.  My brother played keyboards in an 80s frat party band, and he had a Roland Juno 106.  I'm not sure how he afforded it new, probably blew his rent money on it and ended up living back with our parents, but it was sweeet at the time.

I think he pawned it in the early 90s for maybe 400 bucks or something.  I don't dare tell him what they cost now, he'd be sick over it...

Poop......now I'm thinking it was a Jupiter, not a Juno.  It was one of the J names, I'm sure, but totally can't remember which.

Politically allegorical commentary is just as biting today as it was in 1977.  Maybe even moreso.
