I know am probably repeating an old topic (forgive me), but
I am interested in a second syth. I currently own a Casio
CZ5000 and am looking for some good analog (like Rolands)
to accomidate my appetite. I am looking at the JUNO 106,JX3P,
JX8P, and Juno 2.
I looked at a JX3P last night. It came with the PG 200 programmer
and was priced at $450. Is this too much money? Also can somebody
give me a brief description of each synth I mentioned so I can
better understand exactly what I am looking for. I guess I
would like to spend anywhere from $400-$600.
Thanks for your help,
Bob

$450 for a JX3-P with PG-200 would be a *fair* (mediocre) deal if
it came with a hardshell case and the ROM upgrade for OMNI off and
velo-sensing.
It's a 2 oscilator (DCO) unit supporting 3 waves on DCO-1 and 4
on DCO-2. Classic ADSR envelope controls both oscillators. On
board chorus. 1 LFO, routeable. No LFO wheel. Transposable over
1 octave.
Of the 4 you mentioned, this is probably the least versatile. That
does not mean it's no good. It's early technology.
I had one on perma-loan for over a year and loved it. So much so
that when I had to return it I immediately went out and bought the
MKS-30 (JX3-P rack mount).

Dont forget the Chroma Polaris. A good analog synth/kbd controller.
They dont make them any more (Fender) so you can pick them up pretty
cheap. I've seen one in Canada for $500 Canadian.

| 1745.3 | Is the Juno 106 compatible? | AIMHI::BERDAT | IROC-N-ROLL | Fri Oct 28 1988 13:07 | 6 |
Would the Juno 106 be a better deal if I could pick one up for
around $350?

RE < Note 1745.3 by AIMHI::BERDAT "IROC-N-ROLL" > As a fellow lover of analog (particularly Roland's flavor), I'd recommend either the Juno 106 or the JX8P. I have owned both at one time or another (long story) and found both to be wonderful instruments. $350 for the J106 is a very good deal (as long as it's in good shape). If you want velocity sensitivity, though, spring for the JX-8P. You should be able to find one for around $600. Dan | |||||
