Frequently Asked Questions
While it aims for a similar sonic territory, the DeepMind 6X offers a slightly more aggressive and raw analog character compared to the Juno's smoother, more polished sound.
The keys are functional and velocity-sensitive, but the plastic construction lacks the premium feel and responsiveness of weighted keys found on higher-end instruments; it's adequate but not exceptional.
Absolutely, the CV/Gate inputs provide excellent compatibility for patching into a modular environment, allowing for external control and creative experimentation.
