^^^ I love the Juno's they are just all around fun to play with. As for the midines it hasnt gotten much use yet and if i were you i would recommend you buy it used. I ordered one direct from the website in may 08 and still havent received it nor have i been able to get in touch with the guy (supposedly A LOT of people are in the same boat as i am) so after a few mths of waiting i just went a head and bought it used.

I know man, I use to have the HS-60, ("home organ" version of the Juno 106.), until it Died of a voice chip affliction common to the 106's.
I think next time I'll get the Juno 60 as they don't suffer from this problem and people claim the sound is a little phatter.
Since you own both, what's your take?

there are a few programs for various video gamey sounds

midines (which have) ultilizes the sound chip in the cart which is then controlled by midi. you can control it by reading the directions which shows all of the midi commands etc and you can use a tv as well but its super easy to use it without a tv.

for gameboy
there are at least three
LSDJ - is a tracker i have it but havent used it there are lots of possiblities and sounds with lsdj
Nanoloop - is also a tracker but not as advanced as LSDJ
Pixelh8 - the least advanced of the three

Commedore
Prophet 64 which ultilizes a real comedore 64 to access the sounds (never used it)

Atari
Synthcart - is a cart/"game" that you can use to make sounds with the joystick paddels

Thats it as far as video game synths go (i think) there are none that use the genesis but older Yamahas have the genesis style chip in them (cant remember which ones)

60 hands down i love it, it is darker, harsher and a little fatter than the 106, plus its got "wood" ends and an arp but no midi (unless retrofitted) and no portamento.
106 no arp but has midi and portamento

i really wanna get the 6 also just to complete the entire triad of good sounding juno's (the 6 and 60 are the excat same sound cept 60 has you know memory and patches).

the mbase can be triggered via midi can also by audio sources or even eletronic drum pads via the trig in. the mbase does kicks all around from 808 style fatness to 909 style can get punchy or real heavy.


the vestax is the controller one i love it, it can be controlled via midi or assigned pitch/note value to the buttons that are around the the front (battle style front) and near the pitch. can be set to +/- 8, 10 &60%
has a pitch bend stick that moves the pitch up/down half tones (ala vibrato or to play the sharp and flat notes).
straight tone arm
reverse option, can stop on a dime or allowed to slowly stop.

it is like a musical instrument.

check out on youtube john beez controller one. he has two nice vides that showcase it really well.
