Sujet Commentaires sur la news : Roland confirme le Juno-X

MÉNINGITE

I could import my Jupiter X user Scenes into the Juno X and it sounds and works absolutely the same. That's great. They are basically the same instrument in different clothes, except for the Jupiter/Juno X models, which both exist only in the corresponding boards.

Jupiter X: in general imho a bit studio oriented, more controllers, two ENVs in control, a bit heavier keybed, main display stupidly left top, more or less useless digit display in the center, 4 cursor buttons, additional pitch/mod wheel, quite a bit heavier and bigger in depth, Jupiter 8 orientated Jupiter X model, part/partial/step buttons in a row, more modern design.

Juno X: in general imho a bit live oriented, a bit lighter keybed, main display in the center, only two cursor buttons (left/right), only pitch/mod joystick, quite a bit lighter and smaller in depth, Juno 60/106 orientated Juno X model, part/partial/step buttons split in half, classic old school design.

So it really comes down to the 5kg more or less, the (a bit) more controllers and the (totally subjective) UI preference. The part/partial/step buttons are different, that could make a bigger difference. I absolutely don't need the step seq, so I would say I prefer the (better to grasp) split version of the Juno.

You definitely won't miss a real thing or make a mistake when you decide for one of them and basically there is not that much to say about it. There is no deeper meaning. I just swapped because of the weight and size. The Jupiter is a real tank.
