sometimes i don't even play my juno x, I just stare at it because it is so beautiful

It really is amazing looking. They nailed the classic design.

Thanks for the review Todd.... I dreadfully regret selling my Juno-106 years ago before I realized how valuable it was.... I mean, I wrote songs on it that my band played live up in Vermont back in '86.... No clue what I was thinking when I sold it years later..... Always considered the Juno-X to kinda "replace" that sentimental value..... But I honestly feel now with all my VSTs and hardware synths, it would be a purchase for sentimental reasons only and I don't have the room for that anymore... I think you're making a very wise choice keeping it!!

I love Roland gear, and this has a fantastic interface for a player, I want it.

It's built for players that's for sure

Good review. In my case the Juno X is the only Roland keyboard I kept after selling Fantom 6, System 8 and Jupiter X

Hi Todd, from the manual does this work "33 Can the I-Arpeggio synchronize with the tempo of an external sequencer? Yes. In SYSTEM settings, set the TEMPO/SYNC parameters as appropriate for your situation."?
@toddsmithmusic31727 ай бұрын
It can tempo sync but not start / stop sync.

The Matrixbrute and Polybrute are EXTREMELY heavy!!!!! They're no joke when it comes to picking them up!!!! I know because I've had to move mine.

Interesting video. I will probably have other synth stuff (I have a list) I want to fork out $2000 grand on, but for those that have other needs than me, this is probably a very good review...

thanks for review, I love my JUNO-X, just so accessible!! I know you cant slave the i-arp, but can you definitely NOT slave the JUNO-X step sequencer to a DAW or sequencer clock?
@toddsmithmusic31727 ай бұрын
The internal seq can’t be used as slave or master. iARP is built 100% for live performance
@toddsmithmusic31727 ай бұрын
Still amazing but I feel it’s something people should know before purchasing the synth
@Nosh_Feratu7 ай бұрын
@@toddsmithmusic3172 yeah I think so too. I just hook mine into Bitwig and have it playback MIDI from there, or from my OXI One so it IS externally 'sequencable' in a roundabout way. . .not sure 'sequencable' is even a real word!! 🙂
@Sawtooth3117 ай бұрын
The tempo can be synced with another synth through MIDI, either sent or received.
@toddsmithmusic31727 ай бұрын
Yes, tempo you can sync. You can’t sync start/stop functions

The second time I tried it in the store, I liked it more, esp the Juno 60 sounds. Even tho ACB sounds better, the Juno-X interface makes up for it, and the System 8 is only 4 octave.
@toddsmithmusic31727 ай бұрын
I don’t agree it sounds “better”. They both have different strong points. Zen Core can many things ACB could never do.
@adamjacksonmedia9 күн бұрын
@toddsmithmusic3172 I've played both, and call me crazy, but I find the Zencore warmer. The ACB is punchy, but the Zencore has a soft, analog warmth.

Yep, definitely aimed at the gigging keyboardist. For me I think it's more my style than the old Jupiter 80 - that was an analoguey synth buried under a workstation and let's just say I'm not the target demographic for workstation keyboards! 😀 This time the workstation is lurking underneath a very usable synth. If I was a gigging keyboardist I'd give it serious consideration.

Jupiter 80, sweet. Someday…
@adub3037 ай бұрын
So here's a crazy question: since your VFX has poly-AT, have you tried using its keybed to control the Juno-X? I've done that with my TS-10 and Push 3 to control my Jupiter-Xm and MC-707 and it definitely opens up a whole ambient world 😉
