No, I don't believe that the Juno-60 was a CV synth. It had a proprietary,
pre-MIDI digital interface, with a connector that looked a bit (physically)
like a Centronics printer interface; I think Roland called it 'DBB' or
something. Some of the other Roland synths of the same era might have used
the same method, I'm not sure. Anyway, after MIDI came out, Roland
released a DBB-to-MIDI interface, which was a small box with MIDI jacks and
a DBB cable on the end of it. I don't know how many parameters were
available through MIDI control, and I'll bet that a lot of the control was
SysEx-only, but it was available at one time, so there's probably a few of
them still around. I've seen '60s for sale with the interface.
Regards,
