The Roland Alpha Juno-2 is a 1986 6-voice subtractive synth with velocity and aftertouch, 64 presets, 64 user patches, chord memory, portamento, transpose, and a 24dB analog low-pass filter. It uses membrane buttons and the Alpha Dial for editing. It was built for stage and studio bass and rhythmic work — not for deep, fast sound design.

Roland JP-8000
Roland
The Roland JP-8000 is an analog modeling synthesizer released in early 1997. It sought to digitally reproduce the analog tonalities and power of its analog predecessors. Although it lacked somewhat in analog warmth due to its early digital architecture, it added many new features, such as RPS (Realtime Phrase Sequencing), which allowed short sequenced phrases to be assigned to keys, and such as motion control. It also featured the unique Supersaw oscillators and analog-style controllers such as an arpeggiator and an assignable touch response ribbon control. The Supersaw in particular was the reason why the JP-8000 was particularly successful as a main keyboard (along with the Virus) in the dance music market, especially for trance music.
