Calvin Harris states that he sampled his Juno-G into Logic Pro's EXS24 sampler for "I'm Not Alone":

"OK, let's take the I'm Not Alone main hook[...] I started off with the new Roland Juno-G and found a lovely preset called something like 'Trance Keys'. I started playing around with it and thought, 'This is a bit of all right'. As usual, I decided to sample a few notes around middle C into the EXS[24]. Immediately, that will change the feel of a sound, because you're not sampling right across the whole keyboard."

I work at the Gibson custom shop . That is a 2012 les Paul standard.
