I definitely want one of those Juno chorus pedals. Righ now I am using a EHX Bass Chorus, which I think is supposed to be like a Small Clone but with treble, bass, rate, and depth controls. It was cheap, so it's fine for now. But I prefer the Juno-style lush Chorus.

With that said, I have been running my Juno into the little Sh101 module, running both sounds at the same time. A LOT of fun. I can set one for pads, the other for long decay and quick attack, so I can play chords and have one swell and bloom underneath it. It really sounds quite beautiful. Or, I'll hit a chord on the Juno while the 101 is in arpeggio mode and it will arpeggiate the chord I'm hitting on the Juno. Love it! I still wish the module was bigger, with full sized parts, but for now I can't deny that it sounds great. That Poly mode is really wonderful.

Good job, Roland!

Every time I say I want this or that synth, remind me that I have a Moog, and an OP-1 that I need to replace the keyboard on, and that I've got a bunch of apps on my iPad, too. :fp:

I could say that for just about every piece of gear I own. Well, not totally, but close!

How many guitars do I really need, etc, etc. ::)
The cool thing about fretless is you can hit a note...and then renegotiate.

There's a minibrute like 45 minutes from me for $260 with no power adapter. Is it insane to ask for $200? I probably won't get it anyway cause I'm spending like $400 on my car tomorrow, but I'm GASing hard for a synth.

Best thing to do when you're feeling overwhelmed by GAS is to just simply make music.

Failing that, BUY BUY BUY! :w00t:
