Roland Alpha Juno 1

“I bought this synth second hand around 5 years ago and it’s only had light home studio synth use while I’ve had it. It’s in good condition and the keybed is particularly nice to play (far superior in my opinion to my brand new Nord Lead A1!). A couple of things to note, neither of which have proved problematic for me. Firstly there’s a small audible crackle when changing the volume slider (typical on synths of this age). This is not an issue in operation as it’s literally only when changing the volume via the slider. Secondly the octave up and down buttons don’t respond (and never have while I’ve owned it). This hasn’t been an issue for me either – though I guess it’ll depend how you intend to use it (I’ve often had it connected via midi when using it in the studio). Other than that the machine is spot on – particularly so considering the age.”
