The reputation that precedes this synth is true, it truly has a beautiful sound. If it wasn't for the single oscillator this synth may have been considered as good as the Jupiter, however the chorus effect surely stops this synth from being limited. It has nearly full midi implementation which is fantastic for modern usage, and It honestly cannot sound bad. Its sound is so pure its hard to find bad spots about it. The single worst thing about this synth is reliability, the voice chips die, a lot. If you decide you want a Juno be prepared to spend at least 400 dollars over the course of your ownership repairing it. It is not like the Jupiter and Jx-3p which don't have these issues. Regardless though easily a staple of modern electronic music, every producer should have one.

Although i mostly use the program for real time recording and mastering live sound, this program is just capable of so much more. Fantastic for any kind of music producer.

Arpeggietor, sequencing, hold chord feature, and 5 pin midi in and out! This is the kind of compact midi controller everybody needs to have, it just does it all.

Use it to boost my jp08, definetely adds the thickness i felt i was missing in my pads and basses. A very solid chorus pedal but having hear chorus effects like the original juno 60 its hard to call it great, it does its job well.

Solid compressor, the auto sens is easy to use and the 8 pickups make it good for a producer or small band set up. Relatively good price too!

Fun little thing, great for pulling up quick song ideas, but not good for true synthesizer sound design. You get an analog voice (monophonic mind you) and 3 digital voices all for under 800 cad. Its a Solid synth to learn on. It lacks many features you'd want on a truly professional synth which makes this not ideal for performance.

Despite its shortcomings in the vintage synth market, this piece of music history is nothing but amazing analog. Its like having an even more powerful juno despite not being able to program it without the pg 200. Fat basses, smooth pads and sharp electrical leads. It really can do it all. Lack of an arpeggiator is a disappointment but for everything else this synth can do, its a fine loss. Ignore the reviews of juno only players, having heard both the jx and the juno 106 side by side they both have their own pros and cons (a juno 60 sounds better than both of them however), but the jx seems to sound more present. The juno uses chorus to pump up its sound but the jx's second oscillator per voice really thickens up the sound in all the best ways. One thing great about it as well is it has no reliability issues if treated right. Great synth overall for many types of sounds. Worth it to get the kiwi upgrade as the midi implementation is awful, which is one solid reason you don't see this synth in many modern studios.
