That there is not ONE keyboard out there that will take you so far for so little. It's simple, but Roland carefully chose all of the features that make up probably 80% of all Jupiter 8 patches ever made. It's also an extremely _usable_ synth - the controls all seem to have the perfect range. The result is that I've come across subtleties that I'm convinced I never would have on any of my other synths (JX-8P, AKAI VX-90, Matrix-6, Omni-2, Pro-1). The filter is very nice - it will give you nice stringy pads, bass sounds that can only be described as "wet", and nice techno and soul bass sounds to boot. Some cool effects too - my favorite is a sonar ping that you get by using the noise generator with the resonance on full and a slow decay to zero sustain. Let's see now, what was your question? Oh yeah ... Juno 6 - no MIDI, no patches Juno 60 - no MIDI, has patches and apparently a nicer chorus Juno 106 - MIDI, patches, and I don't think it has an arpeggiator Juno 2 - I've never tried one but they look like toys Juno 1 - no idea Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes. - Paul
