Very interesting folks!

So far, none of us seem have gone along the same path- we all have different musical backgrounds and from what I've read it seems like Tek is probably the only person here who started off as an out and out synth guy (maybe I'm wrong there).

I must admit, I don't have a Juno 106 but I'm very tempted to get one. The synth I have right now is a modern Korg. Don't get me wrong, it sounds great and it can do everything but make your breakfast. The only trouble is... I'm finding it a complete nightmare to learn. It's just far too complicated!

For me, learning how to drive was an easier task than learning how to use this synth of mine.

Lately, I've started to feel that modern synths have started to become far too overcomplicated. I long to go back to something that's a little more intuitive. When I use a synth, I want to feel as if I'm actively playing an instrument, NOT constructing some kind of oversized audio/computational tapestry.

I realise that a Juno would have less features than my current synth, but if it's easier to learn then I'll take my chances on a Juno any day!

I'm know I'm starting to drift off topic, but I often wonder if I'm the only one who feels like that.
