Which I agree with, but that also leads to this being the last year of both
the 20th century and the 1990s, which is even more confusing.

Hey Larry! I finally realized why they call the instrument a Juno 6 -- as in
six voice polyphony. It took me a few days after the 4051 must mean 8 voice
for me to get it!

I have the operation manual for the Juno

I might just take you up on that, just out of curiosity's sake! I've been
using this one mainly with complex (usually VC) pulse division clocking the
appeggiator, which can get very sequencer like (can't imagine why they didn't
build a sequencer into this thing).

I'm still trying to get a tape together for you, so no hurry!
