Hi

I saw many of you have Juno or will buy one but only two questions :
- Which one ?
- Why ?

Thanks

Well if your after than Analog typical Juno name synth....

You can scrap the Juno D and G.....THERE NOT the same Juno that we all know and love.....

they are digital instruments,that only bare a name Resemblance to the Original Juno name,they have nothing in common(except the G looks which are similarly styled to the original Junos but nothing more)they sound nothing like the Original Juno and are not to be confused with the Analog classic,so don't buy one in hte hope your getting a special synth,the D and G are a pile of crap Romplers

As for the Poll,i would opt for a Juno 60 or 106, the Juno 1 and 2 have little hands on controls and everything is done via LCD menu,whereas the Juno 6/60/106 all have front panel controls and that Analog sound(even though they are DCO based synths so essentially they are seen as Digital,but only as the Oscillators stay in tune,but they were made in the fallout of Analog,so still retain that retro sound with more stable oscillators,a good buy at the right price and of course classic cult status synths

if you want a Juno sounding synth but cant find one,look for the HS80,which was a Juno 106 with Speakers fitted!!!

The Juno-60... nothing more to say

Big time

Juno 106!!!

synthx

I really don´t like the Juno´s. But if I had to choose one it would be the 60 (out of the 6/106/60 series). Because it has the most features that the other doesn´t have.

Out of the Juno 1/2 And MKS50 I think I would go for the MKS50 simply because it would save some space and is generally cheaper than the keyboard versions.

Juno D or G doesn´t really apeal to me at all, I simply wont buy them.

I own Juno 6 so I voted on 6

it's the same as juno 60 but without memory

i mostly like it for bases but you can also create some awesome oldskool pads etc... i love wooden side panels...

btw new juno g is crap

jeremy

I have the 106 so I voted for the Juno 160

Nico_Noyau

what's the difference between the 160 and 60 ? between 6 and 60 it is memory (thx Radek

) but dunnow for the 160

seems to be a good synth, I'll look for demos

radek tymecki

160 is a continuation of 60 + midi [16 channels] + no arpegiator

+ increased memory + sounds weaker than 6 or 60

btw my friend owns one juno 6 [i bought his second juno 6

] and two junos 60

Nico_Noyau

I don't like a lot the look of the Juno106, I prefer the Juno60's

So if I had to buy one, it'll be surely the Juno60 which I'll midify

The Juno-60 looks more vintage, has some cool features and it is not made of plastic as the 106. Juno-60/106 owners say that the Juno-60 sounds more gritty or warm compared to the Juno-106. I can live without MIDI on a synth like that.

yes because of modulation from env

End caps are in plastic, on the top it's a light painted metal, and the bottom is vintage Roland plywood.

radek tymecki

Juno 106 is plastic

Juno 6 and 60 are 50% wood

sorry 4 the quality - made by night

Exzaktly.

Juno60 sounds warmer than 106, which has factory midi, but you can have a DCB to midi cable for your 60 and the problem is solved...

Juno, Juno, Juno...
