Any comments/opinions on the Juno-1 and Juno-2 synths from Roland?
One of my friends played one last night and is still slobbering
all over himself. What gives?

Hello again! I was in a music store that happened to have both,
and having had a Juno once, decided to check them out. They are
much smaller thatn the older ones, but still pretty dense. As far
as sound goes, the presets are better, the data entry is via a single
wheel a la DX-7 etc, etc. The sound is still pretty thin w/o
chorusing, but the string sounds are still sweet, and they even
had a decent flute (not anywhere near the DX-7's, though, but for
< 1/2 list price, not bad) and an interesting jet take-off. For
starters, it would be fine, but considering that the Matrix-6 is
only 1595 list, vs. ( I think) and 1195/895 list fot the JU-2/1,
I would buy the Matrix. Much more for the money...
An Oberheim/Yamaha owner's opinion...

If you don't need yet another keyboard, the Matrix-6R at $995 looks
like an incredible deal.
