Value For Money :
Excellent
The features are similar to the Juno-D, ie:
* 64 note polyphony
* Compatible with GM2
* 640 patches ready and organized into categories such as Piano, Guitar, Orchestra, etc. ...
* 20 rhythm sets
* 2 assignable sounds for each patch, split or layering
* 47 built-in effects
* 8 types of reverb
* 8 types of chorus
* Arpeggiator integrated with 400 sentence patterns / arpeggios
* Function 'Multi Chord memory' for agreements with a finger
* Metronome 'Rhythm Guide' to presets (patterns and variations)
* D Beam controller and front panel knobs for realtime control
* Editor software included
plus: 66 new programs and a stereo multi-sampled piano for this limited series.
UTILIZATION
Editing sounds and effects is not very readable and practical on the keyboard itself, apart from the envelope changes, filters, etc ... using potentiometers but is greatly simplified through the provided software (Mac and PC).
The manual is easily understandable.
SOUNDS
I find the sounds and effects have a warmth I have not heard in other synths in this price range. The sounds blend well together despite differences in volume that can be easily corrected. Special mention to the new stereo multi-sampled piano that is warm, realistic and very expressive! Nothing to do with the Juno-D 1.
The touch keyboard is quite nice (for a synth), it reflects the intentions.
OVERALL OPINION
I bought six months ago for 415 Euro and I am very satisfied.
I needed a keyboard master with a touchdown right for my sequencer and saw the little price difference, I preferred to choose the Juno-D limited edition.
Excellent value for money for my taste and for my use.
