Alpha Juno 1 for Kurzweil k2000r v3?

Post by Alex E » Sun Feb 12, 2012 9:07 am

I make ambient, hip hop, and occasionally dance music. I like the Juno, but I might be able to trade it for one of these. What do you think? Good deal?

I say do it. Great sounding VA for its generation, double duty as a sampler although keymaps and drum maps are a bit cumbersome, compatible with Akai, Roland and Ensoniq libraries, plenty of programs to find online, and the latest OS has a decent sequencer. Only complaint I have about mine is the display backlight died after about 5 years.
I am no longer in pursuit of vintage synths. The generally absurd inflation from demand versus practical use and maintenance costs is no longer viable. The internet has suffocated and vanquished yet another wonderful hobby. Too bad.
