The Juno 6 is a very simple substractive analog synthesizer. The sound is very classic which means you're not going to create anything new on it but you'll always have a "safe" good sound. A safe good bass, a safe good lush pad, a safe good arpeggio. The suboscillator give you really fat bass besides. The chorus immediately gives this 80's vibe but it should be used only on pads in my opinion. The arpeggio clock in allows you to control the steps of the arpeggio with an external trigger signal. In that time, it was a signal from TR707, 808, 909 etc but nowadays you can trigger it with a sample of anything loud enough and with a distinct attack. For synth wave, dark wave, cyberpunk music, this is a must have.

This is my favorite digital synthesizer. The sonic possibilities are really insane, this is the king for ambient pads, crazy FX, evolving drones... You can modulate everything with everything, it's a modular synthesizer. With the 4 assignable outputs, it's a beast in multitimbral mode. The audio input is a big plus two. There is a ton of different filters which are very efficient and creative. This machine is really a sound design weapon and you're gonna enter a totally new sonic world with it.
