Is it just me or does this sound a bit too "digital" don't get me wrong I love the one I have but it doesnt have the analog-ish sound people said it did, again, still love it. Im going to get a Juno 60/6 as well, would this be a good upgrade?
/synth/ general too I guess

Keep in mind the Juno 60 and 6 do not have MIDI capability, though you can buy a retrofit kit to install MIDI ports in them.
Yeah that isnt a worry for me
Run it into a overdrive/fuzz guitar pedal for a warmer tone; MXR, Boss, etc.
I don't know, I think I'm getting a good, organic sound out of mine
What type of music are you making with it?
Cool. A lot of people don't realize it until they purchase a 60 or 6. Then they realize they actually wanted a Juno 106
sort of synthpop soundscape-y stuff inspired by bands like Animal Collective, Tangerine Dream, Duran Duran, or XTC, not like Foreigner style arena rock or something like that
well yeah, it's essentially a preset machine. not really a VA synth.
what are you trying to achieve with the juno?
I'm glad there's a thread for this, I've been looking everywhere for a good synth, but I don't know where to begin. No physical store around me sells them so I can't just try some out. So how do I find a good synth? I have this Arturia MicroBrute but it just sounds like an 80s video game soundtrack, not the type of sound I'm looking for.
Is the Minilogue superior to the Microkorg?
maybe, I know a lot more about the 60/6 so I might have to do some research on the 106
yes, but for the price, idk
well I don't know that much, as I said here I'd like to make music inspired by those artists but of course I'm not trying to copy anyone. I don't know 100% but the thing I do know is that some of the songs I make are probably going to be based around sounds I make first, and the Juno 60/6 has I sound I'm pretty fond of.
superior cheap lil synth
Do you guys like the MS20 Mini? I've had one for about 3 months now and have not really been too excited about any sounds I've gotten out of it. I spend a lot of time trying different patches and it always seems to be variations on about 3 flavors of sound.
I think some people are considering it the best inexpensive synth as of now
Hey OP
I Own a Microkorg XL+
It was my first synth when I bought it, so I didn't know shit about digital vs analog
But anyways I thought it sounded great
Then I bought a monotribe and some volcas, and I still thought the MK sounded great
Now I'm owning a Minibrute, and I'm trying to record some of my jams with my gear and honestly what I've heard basically is this :
Cheap analog synth (volcas) won't sound better than a MK just because it's analog, but when it comes to the brute, an especially for Bass sounds and mellow leads, the Brute does it better, and the MK will sound either flat, or too agressive.
IMO this is a good synth to jam with, especially with a looper, and if you only use this synth in your production it will sound OK, but when using this with other gear, sometimes it quite doesn't match.
TL;DR Digital is superior to cheap analog because cheap is cheap, but good analog will sound better than a MK
depends on what you want to do
Keep in mind that minilogue is 4 voices only
If I were you I'd look at the yamaha reface series
They're cheaper and sound quite good
yeah I know but a good sounding analog synth will be better than the sound of a digital synth, and a Juno 60/6 is a good sounding analog synth
Oh sure, but good analog is so fucking expensive...
and I think a Juno is a really good opportunity, so I'm going to pick one up
korg minilogue is hard to beat at it's price

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll consider it. Any other options?
All about how you use it.
