Besides all else, I find the occasion apt to remind Artemiy that when I first registered, a few months back, i DONATED some euros, and the flag said that I could have downloaded a bank of Fantom S/X sounds, but I never found any link to download wnytjhing, im still waiting for my reward, thanks.

Also, i never said anything about the sounds in the Juno. In its price class, though, the Yammy MO-6 is a little more right on the job as far as sequencing. The main (but not only) crap part of the Juno is the lack of a song chain feature, like I said before, which completely bars creating soundsets for live use. It's not an opinion: there isn't any. one song at a time, then you have to reload.

For now, i got me an MC-909; dated as it might be, it's still a mile ahead of the Juno.

There are tons of sounds for the Juno-G, including those from the Fantom Tweakbook, at:

http://www.rolandclan.com/library/juno-g/

To get there click on the LIbrary link in the menu below the Roland Clan logo above and select Juno-G in the gear list.

Cheers,
Bill

her we go again...

"The main (but not only) crap part of the Juno is the lack of a song chain feature, like I said before, which completely bars creating soundsets for live use. It's not an opinion: there isn't any. one song at a time, then you have to reload"..

Soundsets for live use can easily be done using performances... assuming you can play the music yourself..

If you cannot play the music yourself, then it IS is a fact that there is a short delay time and necessary key presses in order to load pre-recorded songs....(heaven forbid you need to spend 10 seconds talking to the audience)..

When you identify this aspect of the Juno operation as a "crap part" you are in fact making an OPINION..

You are entitled to your opinions as this is an open forum, but please do not disguise your biased opinions as facts.

Yamaha does have a 10 out of 10, same with Korg and also Roland products. ( Casio ) on the other hand, well,;" yes AlSO. Oasis, and so on.

seq . 03 - The third phrase from my previous post, puts the bubble in between the parallel,. Overall of your description, on the JUNO_G.

Yeah, I bought the Juno-G to "play the keys in a band." I liked the fact that it was cheaper and still did all the things I needed it to. I wanted the sequencer part of it too. And as for the smaller keys, they don't bother me at all. 88 keys are really hard to carry around, and I've never needed more than 61 playing in a band. And the sequencer is wired right into the performances. 16 sounds in a performance--->16 tracks, and 4 audio tracks. I wasn't clear what the gentleman from Italy was looking for, but I think the G is a great keyboard. I just come here to learn more about how to use it.

A lot of the criticism of the Juno G seems to come from an expectation that it can be plugged in and will instantly reward it's proud new owner with everything they ever dreamed of without bothering to even look at a manual. It is a complex board that requires some study time to get the best out of. I have had mine for around 15 months now and have read the manual cover to cover more times than I would like to count. Admittedly, it can be less than user friendly at times but I have also asked questions here when I genuinely cannot see an answer in the manual and have been given prompt and intelligent answers. I am still marveling at the capabilities of the Juno G even now. This board is now an essential part of my keyboard rig at every gig. It's cheap. It's light. It's black (looks cooler on stage IMO). It sounds awesome.
I have composed and recorded entire songs on the G with no problems at all and can access them instantly on stage with the 'Live Setting' function. Same goes for sound sets.
Honestly, if you are having a problem with some part of the Juno G (other than LCD screens) then it is most likely to be your own lack of knowledge and not the keyboards fault. If you fully understand the Juno G and have exhausted all it's possibilities and you still don't think it is great then there is really only one other option for you. Buy something else.
Criticizing it here won't help anybody.
