ABOUT quite like the Juno G, but they sacrificed the MIDI sequencer and put a DAW software sequencer into the box, also this is just a Rompler, no chance to upload some samples yourself like on the Juno G, so this is not a real workstation but a rompler workhorse with 8track HD Sequencer.

the HD recorder (audio) built in is 8 tracks now, also the knobs are no longer macros and therefore simplified to AR and EQ (well a bit strange as a performance parameter?)

DETAILS The Envelopes are all 7 or 8 parameter-multisegment ones! The filters are all ok exept the strange clipping at a certain level of resonance with some waveforms. full control via Midi SysEx. ringmod can be placed between the 4 layers: this is the prototype of Rolands following JV series and lots more.64MB ROM waves. FXM = sort of FM with square wave (depth and colour) 10 structures. modulation matrix. the first Fantom is just the Keyboard Version of the XV5080, X/S added USB for communication (much cooler to have) and pads, also mod sequencer like the Vsynth has on X models. it's not clear if it is also included in the juno G.. but usb can be used for midi and data transfer for sure..

but be warned, this thing is names Juno Gi but has no own RAM, no own sample upload and at least no sequencer.

SOUND bread and butter sounds with on-the-fly recording

VERSION Juno G is superior to the Gi - except the audio sequencer is 4 tracks (instead of 8 in the Gi), because it has a sample ram for your samples and a sequencer and therefore is a workstation while the Gi isn't
