The Juno-D ROCKS, plain and simple. When I brought it home, I connected a pair of headphones and started playing. Next thing I knew hours had gone by and I was feeling extremely inspired by how easy this board was to use. The onboard filter and envelope controls made customizing the awesome internal sounds quite easy, definitely good for making the sounds unique to my tastes and my music.
The included editor software really allowed me to dig deep into what this synth is truly capable of. The knobs on the keyboard are just the “icing on the cake.” For less than $600 this board sounds like it costs much more than that. The pads are rich and lush, the basses are deep and punchy, and the drum kits are very versatile. I absolutely love the piano patch as well. Being a keyboard player I’m always particular about my piano sound. I was very impressed by what the Juno-D had in that realm. The Juno-D is definitely on my wish list, and it would make a great item for yours too!
