[SeanDeigh13]

[rrakocza]

[joakorush2112]

"63 keys" FAIL!!

[aeromusician]

amo este sinte, ke feo ke no tngo uno :(

I love this synth, but i haven't enough money to buy some : (

Grettings MEXICO!!

[iKeyboard15]

i just got mine for $340 on ebay!

[maccagrabme]

Sorry I don't care if this is cheap, it sounds it, little better than a home keyboard. Completely uninspiring to my ears. I'd rather save and get a secondhand V-synth which sounds far superior.

hahahaha, LEGEND OF ZELDA AT 3:13! XD

how do you activate the D-beam?

[wrightie008]

What do you mean by activate the D-Beam?

[YoungMalcomX1]

what's a d-beam

[october267]

@YoungMalcomX1 , a d-beam is a beam. haha. i don't know what it is exactly but all i know is you can control some effect by waving, moving your hands above the d-beam sensor . for juno d the sensor is at the top left.

[echothecrowman]

If your looking for a synth this is not a big step up from the micro korg as the man claims, the korg is far more programmable and is a true synth, the juno d is more of a preset keyboard that can be adjusted though it does have some good features, both are good value, depending on your needs, you should check out both and others before deciding.

[OneisneO]

If I were going for a Clavia Nord Electro sound (all those electro mechanical keyboards) but three times cheaper :P which one would you recommend?

[Batman83]

What would be a better buy for a trance/breaks producer, the sh-201 or the juno-d?? I need input as I am torn between them both.

[squeakD]

That would really depend on how much you're expecting out of the synth and how you're wanting ot use it. The SH is a great VA synth and will function very well for lead patches, basses, and pads for your style of music. However, keep in mind the SH has a much lower poly count and its soundset has NO acoustic based instruments. The Juno has great patches that cover a wide range of music styles. If you're looking for ONE of these boards to do all the work the Juno would be your better choice.

[squeakD]

Forgot to add..., the SH-201 is more a lead synth than a sole stand-alone production unit. It's more of an "add on synth" Due to limited poly it's not going to fucntion as a workstation either. The Juno uses 16 part performance sets and with a computer seq (using the Juno editor) it'll function more like a workstation. Considering the Juno also allows you to tweek the kits (along with having some great juno legacy patches) it'll do quite well for your styles of music.

[Batman83]

Thank you for your input. I think I will get the juno-d. I am hoping to get the Fantom XA instead of the sh or juno though.

[squeakD]

Whoa! If the Fantom Xa is one of your options don't even blink twice! TAKE THE FANTOM XA. The Xa was a very under-rated workstation from Roland. Unlike the other makers out there.., the Xa is def a "baby Fantom". Roland didn't cut every corner with the Xa either, unlike the others. Poly is 128, SRX expansion, it SAMPLES!, and more. That synth is worth every penny! If it were me I'd take the Xa hands down. The mirror to the Xa today is the Roland Juno-G (very close these boards are).

[Batman83]

I really don't think the guy will have it by the time I have the money for it. But if I get the chance to buy it, I will scoop it up. I mainly wanted to know about the sh and juno in case I do not get the Fantom XA.

[Batman83]

One last question, it looks like I am going to be getting the Juno-D but does it have the infamous SUPER SAW!!!???

[squeakD]

I can't remember off hand the patch list on the Juno-D. I would suggest going to Roland's website and looking at the Juno-D manual. Have a look at the patch list under the synth section. If possible, I strongly suggest getting the Juno-D Le (limited edition). It's the same price, but twice the ROM. It has 64mb's compared to the 32mb's found on the Juno-D Classic.

[JoseGabrielDiazPerez]

I think it does.I have it and ive passed through it a few times and I remember it in there

[southdownies]

you MAY remeber JL if you dont where have you been

[ming57]

the casing sounds a bit hollow when he hits it hard...But I don't know how to would be if you werent using a mic... anyone got one of these?

[helicoptered]

Yeah I got one and it kicks some serious bad ass sounds.. There is a knock when you hit the keys hard, mainly because the Juno-D is super light.. This doesn't effect the overall performance of the machine. I like to play my Juno-D at high volumes and the sounds are quality.

[southdownies]

lol dw a mic shouldnt pic it up. specialy not a vocal mic. and if your not cloutin it to hard it wont make that sound

[helicoptered]

where's part 2 ???

[dana4261]

It has 61 keys...NOT 63!!!

[gearwire]

Thanks. I just got back from vacation. Don't know where my brain was.

[xMUIRx]

nice
