Yup, the genesis has a yamaha fm chip in it. It's a similar one if not the same one as the fb01 - only problem with that thing is you can't program it from the front panel - only sysex. Good luck with the juno. I've got a juno 1 I like too. Check out the ensoniq esq-1/esqm/sq80 if you like cheap 80s synths - it's got the 8 bit sound chip from an appleIIgs going through curtis analog filters. pretty sweet.
thanks, yeah, I'm only really comparing it to a fb01, k1, and ht700 as those are the other digitals I've owned.
My dual mode button is going - haven't tried fixing it yet. If it's an enclosed switch it might need replacing - if it's just a trace on the circuit board with a conductive pad on the switch a little scotch brite and deoxit would probably do the trick. I might replace this with a cz101 some day to take up less space.
@pierceforrest Thanks mate i'll have a look into that. My Alpha Juno 2's battery also said it needed changing last time I put it away lol, hope its still alive xD
Hadn't heard of the other keyboards/rack you mentioned, they look quite fun, if a tad basic, except for the FB01 which looks like you can get some good stuff out of. Some guys done a sound sample vid and it sounds just like a Sega Genesis.
hey dude please tell how to program the 3:17 solo sound....

Nice man, I do agree it has some tasty tones, not necessarily my favourite tho ;]
Lovin the D'n'B style drum fills!
my CZ-3000's glide key's broken atm :/ - Any tips on how to, if you've had to open it before and change buttons?
