Might have to tweak it a bit to get it exactly right but this is the basic hoover patch:

DCO Range: 32'
DCO Env: 127
DCO Env type: Dynamic non inverted
Pulse Wave: 03
Saw Wave: 03
Sub: 05
Sub Lvl: 03
Noise Level: 1
PW/PWM: 127
PWM Rate: 100
VCF Freq: 77
VCF Reso: 0
VCF Enf: 75
VCF Env Type: Dynamic, non-inverted
VCF LFO: 75
VCF Kbd: 11
VCA Env Type: Dynamic, non-inverted
Chorus: ON
Chorus Rate: 92
LFO Rate: 39
LFO Delay: 64
Env T1: 79
Env L1: 68
Env T2: 58
Env L2: 127
Env T3: 55
Env L3: 127
Env T4: 72
Env Kbd: 09

You also need to have the Juno in unison. Hold the chord memory button and hit write, then press all 4 C's at the same time. Then turn chord memory on and hoover away. Portamento can sound cool with this sound as well so play with that too.

Well, playing that patch on my Juno, it sounds pretty similar to me. A little tweaking should get you there.

I remember that single, love it! Sounds to me like the main stab phrase and the arpeggiated square are running through the same highpass filter via an insert bus. The highpass cutoff sounds like it's being modulated by a triangle LFO. So even if the stab was an Alpha Juno, which to me it doesn't sound like one, you'd still need an external multi-mode filter for processing.
I am no longer in pursuit of vintage synths. The generally absurd inflation from demand versus practical use and maintenance costs is no longer viable. The internet has suffocated and vanquished yet another wonderful hobby. Too bad.

yeah, it's not a juno... fx23, you'll need to buy another synth to replicate that exact sound.

Something with a resonant high-pass filter would be able to do this. A Jupiter 6 would do - a SEM/X-voice could do it even better. Heck - a MicroKorg would do as well.

Why do I get the feeling that the Local Control was off on all those synths for the Live PA and the midi out connectors were not connected to anything :lol:

those dudes look awfully busy for a tune that is all sequenced.

Very true but some of the better groups used to improvise live and others used to create their songs on a roland w30 so they would essentially be playing live just by bringing that sampler to the stage, search youtube for the prodigys old 91-92 live concerts and you can see liam not doing a lot in the earlier concerts but the later ones he improvises live
