Roland HS-60

The HS-60 is a "home version" of the infamous Juno-106- same synth, but with built-in speakers and a different paint job.

This was my second "real" synth (my first was a Korg Poly 800 MkII), and it saw a lot of action in my earlier stuff. I've recently had to sell it, which was a difficult decision even though feature-wise I have this sort of thing well covered in software. I don't subscribe to the "analog = better" theory, but I must admit this synth has character.
