THE SFB is ... yeah ... but

• trim the input level (ideally e. g. with a Reamp Box)
• use the MIDI trigger
• use the BYP/EFF (Mix) knob (!!!)

One approch: Just sending the signal through it in 100% bypass colorizes the signal already and you can trim the color to taste with combinations of mix, input level and filter settings.

The SFB must be tamed and you have to learn to use it in a (more or less...) "subtle" way.

Never underestimate the power of the Sherman Filterbank and its mix knob!^{^}

Juno 6. No MIDI errors or patch memory chaos, just sweetspots.

The old question :/

It depends on your taste and targets, doesn´t it?

I have played around with the endless options of VSTs for much too long, underestimating critical points of view and often thinking that vintage analog equipment was hyped.

Today I better turn the Juno 6 or MKS-80 on, turn some knobs and I´m done. No VST will ever bring you where it sends you. And it doesn´t just sound different, the sounds you can make with it ARE different. The J6 doesn´t just have sweetspots, it IS a sweetspot.

The rest is a matter of the production workflow. A J6 has no automation, not even patch memory. But it sounds like an instrument and you can just record its output.

I have to stop now. My MKS-50 is in delivery and I have to watch the door!^{^}
