One of the absolute best
This is a marvellous synthesizer. Probably the best monosynth ever made after the Minimoog. It can handle pretty much anything, from smooth moogy leads to filthy bass and extreme effects. Everything you dial in sounds good, and the sequencer and arp are simple but inspiring. If you need a monosynth and can't afford a Minimoog, this is the one to get.

The best 1-oscillator synth ever made
The Juno-60 has sort of a late-70s-sounding vibe, very snappy envelopes. The Juno-106 in comparison, is less earthy and more shimmery. This synth is incredible for simple synth sounds. It always sounds good. The chorus is the best chorus ever made. But even without chorus it's great. It has an instantly recognizable sound and a very addictive feel to it. This is perfcet as a first synthesizer, when you're learning how synthesis works and can't handle complicated modulation options yet. Also fits perfect in a mix.

The most underrated polysynth
This 2 DCO analog polyphonic synth is probably the best one in its category. If we ignore the somewhat unintuitive interface, this beast is capable of some extremely organic sounds that honestly sound more like VCOs. Works great for bass, pads, strings (string machine-like), brass, ambient and psychedelic sounds, crazy effects and everything in between. The modulation options are crazy. There are literally an infinite amount of variations. Highly recommended, especially for its price which should be at least double of what it is right now.
