Want a synth because I actually do want a keyboard to use as well as the sample uses described above. OK, so I bought the Juno G. I may have buyer's remorse though. Have not run it through the motions with the samples yet, but I am not thrilled with the piano sounds. I know I can buy an expansion ca...

I almost worry that it is some special prosumer version with some features missing from what they sell at other sites since it is so c...

Here is what it needs to accomplish: I am a guitarist, and currently I use a Roland PKA5 bass pedals footpedal board to trigger samples that I have assigned to it. That way I can play some synth with my feet for our 3 piec...
