im looking to get a roland mv-800 to make beats on and a synth to play or sync to it (if u know wat i mean:o ) i checked out some videos and i liked the juno-d as it had some nice piano strings brass AND synths sounds the juno-106 is SUPPOSED to be icer although i havent herd much from it do they sell them in shops so i could try it out. wat do you guys think the best choice is for hiphop?

im after some nice smooth acoustic sounds especially piano and pads AND some real dirty synths- timbo or jay dee if you lyk...
 
These are completely different keyboards. One is a vintage semi-analog six voice subtractive synthesizer. The other is a rompler. The only thing the have in common is they both have the name "juno" and they both have keys. Juno 106's aren't in production anymore, mine was made in 1983, you'd have to find it at some kind of pawn or used music instrument store. They carry Juno-Ds at most every music shop nowadays. You;d probably know what you wanted if you wanted a juno 106. It can make some killer basses and analog horns/strings/pads, but nothing close to "acoustic". If you want more realistic sounding instruments, you probably want to go with the Juno D.

i have to type 7 letters here or else it wont let me post


"what he said"

look what happens :cry:
 
a rompler is kind of like a bank of pre-recorded sounds which you can apply filtering and effects to, a synthesizer actively creates a sound by shaping the wave created by an oscillator.
 
People fall into 3 camps. Either you know and understand what a Juno is or you don't. If you have some idea then you know it's a classic and the name means "This is something worth having".

Roland makes yet another version of the Fantom. It's like a Fantom light, but that's what the XA or A or D or whatever other numbers they've pushed at the end means. So what exactly do you call this one Fantom-G? I would have. It might have also been ignored or lost in 'another Fantom land'.


I would have suggested the Juno-D (called something else) be made for live performance use and have those built in speakers and tons of splts and layered combis along with a bunch of song MIDI templates. Having a first synth price tag would also help clarify who it was intended for.

The SH-201 is in the same position.

we number camps differently in illinois i think, i would generally call that two camps
 
1. You know
2. You don't
3. You have some idea. Familiar name = more likely to buy. Means press release fodder.
 
i checked out the jubo-d in a store and i rally liked the sound ive got a few more questions though that i forgot to ask

1. how would it work seqencing the sounds through a roland MV-8000 (or MPC)
2. how would it work seqencing the sounds through FL
3. is it multitimbral and how would you acheive this with the MV/FL
4. can you get extra patches since you cant create them yourself

oh yeah and can u use a sustain pedal cos im learnin piano?

It is sequenced the same way whether it be through a hardware or software synthesizer. You connect the sequencer to the synthesizer with a midi cable, then you output midi tracks which tell it what note to play on what patch, these come out of the audio outputs of the keyboard which you must then record.

That's kind of like that old joke:

There are 3 kinds of people in the world - those who are good at math, and those who aren't. :D

PG
 
or the old "There are 10 kinds of people in the world...those who understand binary, and those who don't."

i found that out the hard way :(
 
so if i sequcenced it on the mv would i be able to quantise

and is this the same in FL?

sorry im not clued up on hardware LOL
