[SENSEIHIMSELF]

YO IM LOOKING AT GETTING EITHER THE KORG POLY-61 OR THE ROLAND ALPHA JUNO1..
WHICH ONE WOULD YOU GET AND WHY?
ANYONE GOT ANY EXPERIENCES WITH EITHER ONE?
THANK YOU..

[SENSEIHIMSELF]

anyone?...

[ellaguru]

no experience sorry
but i remember someone got a poly 6 on the forum, check him by "search" button...anyway from what i've heard they're both great synths, what type of sound do you look for?

MY FRIEND JALEN OF THE TUNA CLAN GOT A JUNO. HE TOLD ME ITS THE BEST THING HE EVER GOT, EVER. HE USED TO MESS WITH A MICROKORG. THEYRE LIKE 600 ABOVE THOUGH?

yo thanks a lot for your answer!..im looking for a polysynth that can do like 80s style synthbrass and good analog bass sounds etc.
right now im leaning more towards the POLY-61

limpid thanks for your answer anyway yo...and yea the JUNO6 is awesome..

Wait, what about your Yamaha cs1x?

[SENSEIHIMSELF]

SYNTHCREEPIN.

I love the whole Juno series (wellll... up until the latest remakes) but for the 80's sound you're looking for a Poly 61 is probably the best of the two.

[SENSEIHIMSELF]

hey thanks man!
and yea those remake juno's are fucking lame..theyre not even really juno's anymore excecpt for how they look haha
but yea that was my thought too ,that the 61 would be better for what im looking for..but the @juno also would be really nice haha
but yea thanks for your thoughts on the matter yo!..

Yeah no doubt, vintage synths are the jam. Curious to hear what you make with either of them. You got a specific project sound in mind or is it an addition to the studio stable?

[SENSEIHIMSELF]

yea ima bit of a vintage synth geek too haha..im just looking to ad some nice synths to the studio as a whole yo..my house was broken into a while ago and a lot of gear got stolen..so i need to buy some new shit again
what synths do you use?

[KOMSAT]

Ah I only have a Roland SH 101 with me but it's tits. Back home I've got a Sequential Circuits Pro One which I love to death and I'll probably have buried with me.

I want a nice glassy 80's synth (like Yamaha DX7) soon but NI FM8 does the job since I have limited space atm.

i have a juno 106 wich i firstly purchased for some sort of boards of canada sounds, but then i understood that you can do many things with (acid sounds, percussive sounds etc), is like (also) a sort of easy introduction to the world of synthesis.
the korg poli series is awesome anyway! i think the "glo fi" scenes (neon indian, washed out etc) uses it very much. but -another consideration- maybe the microkorg it's a good (in sound) alternative to it.
the dx serie from yamaha is very cool to if you lookin for that type of sounds. i have the txz81 rack from them wih is a (very cheap, but really cool) expander version of that sounds; but as i said it's not a real synth but an expander...

Junos also do wicked bass!

Plus one on the Yamaha DX series, and on the software side (blech?) NI's FM8 is like 20 DX7's inside your computer. Way ill.
