David Emm Posted Sunday at 12:20 AM Share Posted Sunday at 12:20 AM Long before any of us knew what EDM was, I recall suddenly hitting the Hoover sound for a roomful of stoned pals. Everyone sprayed fluids. It rivaled my first resonant Moog duck fart. Every synth has a couple of sounds that belong under a button labeled Goofy. Great instrument.

I actually owned an Alpha Juno 2 for a little while back in the 80s when they first came out. Didn’t do much for me - I way preferred my JX8P. With me, as with some others in this thread, it’s more about programming flexibility; specifically (for the most part) the ability to detune two oscillators for controllable fatness, the ability to combine multiple octaves, and the ability to use and mix multiple waveforms. My Mini schooled me to think that way. dB Quote ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
