    You can find Alpha Juno synths at good prices if you look carefully. They are quite surprising once you get past the pre-sets. I have an Alpha Juno 1, and I use it with a VST editor inside my DAW.

    I feel the same was about the TX81Z and Nord Lead 1. Best bargains out there IMO. I use Edisyn to edit the TX81Z.

    Juno 1 is good but the Juno 2 is slightly better build quality. I know M83 used them alot.

    I use mine as a sound module and I play it with a controller keyboard, and as mentioned above all the programming is done inside the DAW. Regarding the actual hardware, the Juno 2 has aftertouch.

    Me too. I've even built a memory expansion with static S-RAM chips.
    It was a nice compact synth (even beyond the hoover sound :rofl:) but nothing a Nord Lead (3) or blofeld couldn't do.
