To late for my JX. First, every 8th (or was it 12th?) keys was stopping

to produce sound (but they still sended MIDI signals), so I was able to

use it as a MIDI controller (one of the best keyboards I ever used) and

use another MIDI controller for triggering the jx-sounds. Then I could

not do program changes, and then it stopped to make sounds - all this

within two weeks.
It does exist some Juno SW synths for MS Windows and Mac, but I won't use

it. I'm usually pragmatic and do use both Mac and Windows for work (Linux

is still main OS there also), but here, I run native Linux on everything

and don't want to run another OS in my studio.

Well, I think I might try to get a new one again but also consider to see

if I can make amSynt or even take my time to learn Yoshimi and see if it

can do the job.
Maybe a bright soul in this group is able to make a modelled JX or Juno

with convolution?
