that demo is making me want to get a Juno-106. I dont get sounds like that deep bass on my Micron.

just curious any reason why?

I grew up listening to Jean-Michel Jarre and Vangelis records, the 70's albums. I felt the amazing rich analog sound. What I feel when I listen to EQUINOXE (1978) - or to some of the strings or harp sounds recorded by our very own THM in his review of the ELKA SYNTHEX - is *very* different from what I feel when I hear one of the modern digital synths.

I understand that it is not something obvious to every ear, including many pros who are going 100% software and digital... It is a personal thing.

See it is like how I sold my VIRUS B to buy a Micromoog: going from tons and tons of features to one of the simplest set of features... At the end of the day if I am inspired by the vibrations that come out of the speakers, and by the rusty knobs and the drifty oscillator, I will not miss the 100000's of options the Virus had

Congradulations!
My synth setup right now is a Micron + Microkorg.

I like both synths especially working in tandem I can get some amazing arpeggios going.
The Micron has some great features but I think the Microkorg is probably more inspirational on it's own. It's got a fatter sound.

I'm thinking about trading in the Micron for something like a Juno. They're so different but since I got one digital synth I wouldn't mind trying out an analog.
