It's a Roland HS-10 / Synth Plus-10 which was the "home" version of the Alpha Juno 1, it's exactly the same but looks slightly differently > instead of waveforms, envelope graphs etc written on the casing it has the preset names, it's got holes for a music stand and buttons look slightly different.

It's just cosmetics, internally it's the same synth... Mainboard say JU-1 and shares the same service manual as the JU1

No I don't have the PG but contemplated the Behringer BCR which one of my friends has and uses on his non fake Juno lol. To be honest I don't use the Juno as much now days and wanted to sell it to get something else at some point.
It's just one of these synths I had for ages and totally bored with, originally got it for 70 quid cos I couldn't afford another synth lol
I sampled a lot of it in the 3200XL especially the basses... I did however play it yesterday through a Behringer EM-600 and that was pretty cool

HS-10 on that chord through the behringer and lexicon verb and bass station is the legato lead

Beatmaking at my place

I only have the MPC recently, so I haven't exactly settled on a good workflow, but I love it already. I make drumfunk/jungle/drum n bass, and record breaks into the MPC (mostly midi but sometimes audio). I then layer breaks and drum samples over the sounds of my vdrums and chop and rearrange the breaks.

I also have the Virus synth for pads and basslines. I can record the midi and knob tweaking into the MPC, and I can also sample some sounds into the MPC and play them back through the filters and fx of the virus again.

You cant really see it in this pic, but there is a bench in the foreground and I keep my vinyls and turntable there. I can stand on the side away from the drums and lift up the MPC onto the bench for sampling sessions. I get into the studio by a little gap between the bench and the wall (between the MPC and virus). I can move the bench a little and block the studio entrance. It's important to keep toddlers away from the gear :) That's my son and he's 16months old. He can whack the drums and loves to mess with all the buttons and knobs :)

For real? How about a handmade Native-American crossbow that shoots arrows on a serious level? :D

Sick studio. Once suggestion I would make is angle your monitors so they're 60 degrees, and the same distance apart as the distance from where you sit to one monitor. Like this

I'm not trying to open a can of worms about this but, this slight change and sitting in the sweet spot will translate to better mixes.
