You're right.. It doesn't duplicate the roland juno sound perfectly.. but
that's what i like about it, and that's why i suggested it. it's got an
edgier more aggressive sound to it that i like.. i actually thought the
quality of the construction was quite good.. maybe you got a board that was
badly taken care of... if anyone wants to hear this board.. check out
www.mp3.com/thoughtless and download the "untitled" track.. it uses ax60
exclusively for synth.. the bass sound i though was hardly thin and weak,
IMO. another reason i suggest this is that you can find these for 300-350$..
much cheaper than a 106. it also uses VCO's instead of DCO's for those
analog purists out there.. the VCO slider is a welcome addition in my
opinion too!
once again, it's all a matter of opinion! and if you love that roland sound,
then by all means go for it!
thanks,
jared
