Alpha Juno-2: That Hoover Synth!
A video you've been asking for for at least three years! Hopefully I do it justice.
The Alpha Juno-2 from 1985 was one of a pair of instruments that marked the second wave of the Juno series following the classic Juno-6/60 and 106.
For a long time they were inexpensive and not particularly sought after, for reasons that we discuss, but they were always great sounding synths with way more flex than their earlier, much-praised siblings.
If there's one claim to fame that the Alpha can boast, it's THAT hoover sound (aka "What the?") that has become a standard part of the synthesizer patch repertoire.
One thing I didn't cover was aftertouch and Alpha Juno owners will know why. ;)
