If you put a sample on the bottom C note and make it part one in ‘pattern mode’ you can press the lower sample while pad 1 is lit and hold down the key. It doesn’t have a lot of sample memory but there are some cool ways to use the samples. I still have my original un-modified Juno-60 from 1982 in perfect working condition. I’ve owned three Juno’s in the past and I loved them. All I can say is WOW, this thing is packed with some pretty cool features. I pre-ordered one of these and it just arrived the other day. The Juno-DS61 has a street price of about $700, while the Juno-DS88 has a street price of about $1,000.
