J0nathan Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 OOooooookay...here it is: I found a Roland Juno-60 with minor damage for $599 at a local music store. It's missing the mode switch from the arp section. Minor scuffs on both sides. Almost perfect otherwise. Please advise? Purchase? I also found a used Alesis Micron for $199 in perfect shape. Powers on and seems fully functional. Opt for this instead? "You have seen as to do, dude, isn't it?" -Korg PA80 manual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matted stump Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Do you prefer real or counterfeit?

DanS Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Seems pretty steep. I sold my 106 for $400 16 years ago? What we record in life, echoes in eternity.

JeffLearman Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I think they've risen in value since then due to the vintage factor. I sold mine for a song back in 86, but to a good friend who still uses it so I'm happy. BTW, I got a killer Too bad it's missing the arpeggio mode switch. The biggest disadvantage to this synth (IMHO) was its lead sounds, but I recently heard a trick where you power it on with the mode switch in some position and holding another button, and it puts it in unison, last-note priority mode. Man, that would sound hot hot hot! (No portamento, though.) I don't particularly miss mine, but it did have some incredible sounds. I paired it with an SCI 6-trak, which had the opposite weaknesses & strengths: very hot lead synth but weak on rhythm/clav/percussive/string sounds. Together they sounded like a dream. And you might still be able to find the MIDI converter, called the MD8. I had one of those too, it went with the Juno. I doubt the current owner ever uses it. The MIDI implementation had flaws that required a few workarounds. For example, IIRC the keyboard would transmit "all notes off" whenever the last key was released. ARRGH!
