Here is some information on the Roland Juno-106:
The Juno 106 has been used by many since the mid-’80s, from Depeche Mode and the Pet Shop Boys. The most popular and recognized Roland instrument, and one of the first synths to implement MIDI.
The Juno-106 is a polyphonic synthesizer with six voices. It is an analog synthesizer but with digitally controlled oscillators and chorus effects. Whereas its predecessor, the Juno-60, has 56 patches, the Juno-106 has 128. It introduced Roland's performance lever for pitch bends and modulation, which became a standard feature of Roland instruments. It also adds MIDI and was one of the first analog synthesizers to allow users to sequence parameter changes.
The back panel also features one set of 1/4” audio outputs, a stereo headphone jack output, a tune knob, patch shift and pedal hold jacks, a level switch, power ON/OFF, a memory protect switch and a MIDI function selector switch. The Tape interface located on the back panel allows the user to save and load patch programs onto a standard tape recorder via their respective jacks.
16 MIDI channels are available on the Juno-106 and MIDI SysEx Data is both transmittable and receivable from all sliders and buttons on the instrument. MIDI IN/OUT/THRU ports are located on the back panel. This allows for complete remote control and external sequencing capabilities. The Juno-106 offers three different types of MIDI modes, which can be changed via the MIDI Function switch on the back panel.
