Uh... playing this board feels like getting a tractor from Santa when
you actually wanted a monster truck. Yes, it does have big
wheels and thick tires, it can go through puddles of mud, but I
feel kinda silly and limited driving it. Even the Poly-800 has more
interactive synthiness under its hood, which translates into
more horsepower and more flexible suspension, sticking to the truck analogy.
The Junost-21 interafce is weird. The handling of the presets and the
synth section is confusing.
The chorus/unison mode is confusing too, since you can switch to
unison but still have polyphony...
But! It's Soviet, so I guess we can turn a blind eye to its weirdness.
Gets my reward for being
the only synth which I forgot to retrieve from the basement, causing
it to rust, yet creating no remorse in me. Let it die. Kill it with
rust!!!!!!!! |
