I received the Jupiter X in my studio yesterday. I'd probably trade my Juno 106 to do it and/or sell my OB6 and get a rackmount OB6.Īnyone have any thoughts or guidance? Anything I should look at that I haven't even mentioned?Korg Kronos? I can spend $1500-$3000 if I can find the right fit that fills these needs. I feel like if the Jupiter X was $1500 it'd be a no brainer, but the fact that it is $2500 means I could get a Prophet X or even a Waldorf for not that much more. I've seen some videos showing the System 8 had a bit more girth/gut to it than the X, but I really would like to have a 61 key or more keyboard. I've watched videos comparing 1 to 1 the Juno 106 to the Jupiter X Juno 106 and they seem pretty dead on for factory patches, but ya. I have a Juno 106, B Model D, Ob6, all of which have apparently satisfied my personal 'sound quality/ease of use' tastes.)īut sadly I don't have a local music store where I can try the Prophet X, Jupiter X, or Quantum out. (I have owned and sold/returned the Prophet Rev2, Prophet 6, Deepmind, and Nord Lead 2X. If I did I'd probably use a software sample library. but true workstations have always turned me off and I have no desire to create orchestral pieces, etc. inside are icing on the cake.īut I've also looked at the Prophet X/XL and the Waldorf Quantum to hit this sweet spot. The fact that it has a solid vocoder and SH etc. I was initially excited about the Jupiter X as it seems like the inverse, and perhaps it would be good enough for me to sell my Juno 106 (since it has a 106 emulation) and use it for performance and keep my Ob6 at home, or perhaps even trade my Ob6 for a rack mount. well and can cut through the mix, but it doesn't feel like the solution. The Nord Stage 3 is delightful, but it feels like a performance piano/organ first and a synth second. And I don't want to have to bring a laptop and audio interface out either.

I'm looking for a single 61-key-plus synth that can handle that all. just to use a grand piano on the stage and the ob6 on occasional songs. I'm tired of lugging 2 of them out and double stacking synths etc. I own an Ob6, which is absolutely delightful except it's only 49 keys (why the hell won't sequential make a 61 key version and take my money?) and doesn't do piano sounds (I know, I don't expect it to), and a Juno 106. I have to switch off on rhythm guitar and piano/synth duties. I'm a lead singer in a 4 piece band that plays modern postpunk/indie synth rock (White Lies, Killers, walk the moon, etc.).
