Members augerinn Posted September 4, 2008 Members Share Posted September 4, 2008 Just got a beautiful Alpha 2 off of E-bay. $100.00 delivered. Needs 2 keys , new battery, and a return spring for the pitch/mod. Looking at the specs, it's kinda close to my 60, but not really. If I keep it, do you think there would be too much overlap between the 2 instruments ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members whitepapagold Posted September 4, 2008 Members Share Posted September 4, 2008 They don't sound even remotely close. Theres reasons I NEVER break Dons balls... Him being 100% right 99.9% of the time being the main reason! I LOVE my Juno 1! Its the organ king in my world. Plus just a pleasure to use even with the membrane buttons! For yours to have lost keys and broken the pitch bend, they must have dropped it out of a plane and had a semi drive over it! Definitely a good price and worth fixing!

Members depulse Posted September 4, 2008 Members Share Posted September 4, 2008 I've had an Alpha 2 and a MKS-50 and a Juno 6 and a Juno 106 (both no Juno 60) in the past. I used the Alpha 2 as a master keyboard. It has some nice strings sounds (and the Hoover preset), but for the rest I much more prefer the Juno106/6., but YMMV. Not much overlap, they don't have much in common with each other than the Juno name. I've sold all of these, but will get a Juno 106 or 60 in the future again. For $100 the Alpha isn't bad though.

Members whitepapagold Posted September 4, 2008 Members Share Posted September 4, 2008 I will say you need to reprogram the alpha- I replaced every patch in memory. It sits EXCELLENT in a mix! To say its worthless means you just don't know how to use it properly and can't just play the presets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
