I will not elaborate on the specifications. Just about what I think is important.

The sequencer is very intuitive, an old school groove, and is a definite plus to make small jams on the job, and eventually find real good ideas, often by mistake. A big advantage not negligible ... rather than a defect, as some suggest, I think the sequencer's JX3P is a bonus.

The LFO is a bit strange releasable because it must stay above support ... (it can remain permanently on the more advanced settings) .. may be a fault on mine? I think not. So it requires to bring in at crucial moments in the sequences of games, music.

I have not yet PG200, but the machine is extremely easy to program without it. The module is a plus for a more "hands on", but someone who does not possess (as I do now, I will have it soon) just get out much.

I have not tried the MIDI, but I expect the rudimentary: it is the first génration natural that it should be the essential, and that's not bad.

The keyboard is relatively light, well built, and I understood without flaws podruction post (nameless Juno ... 1 .. 6)

UTILIZATION

Very simple, very intuitive, very effective (even without the PG200, except for the uninitiated synthesis .. but everyone's been there. The crash test)

The manual? useful for quickly capturing the sequencer for hidden functions (overdub, erase it), and why not delirious on audio cassette. I am not prendspas the head with it. It is an instrument first.

SOUNDS

Big subject ...

Is it better or worse than the Juno 106? Does it looks like the Jupiter 8 (some say it goes beyond certain points, such as groundwater), is it a pure analog or hybrid blabala blalabala bli ..

To me it sounds very very good. A strong character, very analogue without problem .. It can do wonders for tablecloths and eternal space, very good sequences electro-grooves, electric keyboards to drool (the presets are mostly very well ... frankly I would say 50/50).

The filter is juicy, does not really share in self oscillation, but in some cases it gets there, you have to push a little synthesis to its limits.
The envelopes are excellent for my taste, let turn a sequence and tamper ADSR ... it reacts very well ... I guess live with a good rhythmic groove that is severe (I have not tried it yet).

Compared to the Juno 106? I have one ... they are 2 different synths, sometimes approaching some textures but they are not really on the same table. The Juno down very far in the infrared, the JX is incapable (well if it can get very deep, but it is not comparable)

Some say he put a Jupiter 8 on the shelf in some areas ...? I say vice versa, and frankly I give a fuck

OVERALL OPINION

Easy to use, ultra-musical, very intuitive, cheap, good looks, reliable, big personality, and analog / hybrid with all the advantages.

Che not me, why not?
