ReviewsFeature:
-Chord play is cool! It allows you to assign cords to each note of the octave. -Phrase play is neat, but I lack the ability to create my own. I guess it's good as a source of inspiration. Just throw in a few phrases when composing to see how well the sound fits in. -Arpeggio is ok, seen better, seen worse ;) -D-Beam is nice to have, but I haven't used it much so far
Value:
It's a great entry level synth and a certainly for it's price a good source of inspiration. Composing on another machine (both pc and synth), I just turn on the Juno-D and look for a sound that would fit, jam a bit, and then record the sound or model it on another device.
Desirability:
It's a black slim case, not too heavy. Very portable. I guess that's ok
Sound:
The factory sets could use a little more punch, but they are a good starting point. The main is issue with this is probably the effect settings that should be applied more generously. However, it is certainly possible on the machine. It really has this out of the box feel, but after a while you'll know that there is more in and into it ;)
Overall:
It's a synth that will remain useful for a few years. I would not recommend as the main synth, though. But for it's price its ok. I use it together with Reason with a midi controller and a Korg N264.
