It's 20 years.
Many people would like the idea that Roland and some other companies would still make analog synths but analog circuits are just so much more expensive to design and build compared to digital synths that most companies just make digital synths. And it's not sure how many analog synths Roland for example would sell now if they built the Juno and others again. So many people don't know that analog synths sound better and maybe don't even hear the difference and if you want you can download your whole studio from internet so hardware sales are going down all the time (which is sad of course).
