Love the sounds I get from this baby-I use it all the time for most of my synth sound needs. It's nice that the LFOs for pitch modulation, chorus rate, and PWM are all separate from each other (unlike other Junos), but I wish you could assign the envelope to pulse width. Beautiful Roland filter, even if it doesn't self-oscillate.

Feels and sounds quite good-I don't use the integrated audio interface much, but it's handy every once in a while. Stock pickups sound very good for the price, and the top is so darn pretty.

I've yet to find something that Ableton isn't up to doing-it's that flexible and versatile. Stable enough that I'm willing to use it live, too!

A few generations old, but still solid and dependable. A little bit of clicking every once in a while, but I've never had any major dropouts on stage or in studio. The preamps (instrument and mic) are both weak, though, and tend to be quite noisy.

Construction is a a tad cheap (very plasticky) and the keys feel kind of cheap, but it hasn't let me down yet. The plastic construction does make it nice and easy to modify, though...hehehehe

This thing is an absolute beast. The AWM2 sample/synthesis engine is surprisingly deep, and both acoustic and electric pianos sound luscious and wonderful. The interface is geared towards live performance over sound design, but you can navigate around it pretty quick once you know what you're doing. It's a joy to play in studio and a godsend to perform with live.
