Bought a JUNO-DS88 because I wanted an 88 weighted-key instrument that was also transportable and easy to use for gigs here & there. I had already owned other keyboards before by YAMAHA Korg etc, and they were all great, BUT, the DS88 had such a unique set of features, that I thought I would give it a try.
Transportation - considering the size of the keyboard - is great. Vast selection of sounds. I think that the piano sounds are some of the best in the business, especially considering the price of it!
This keyboard unique because of the the addition of a microphone including adding effects, so you can easily plug in a microphone right into the keyboard on the back. Control section on the left side of the keyboard facilitates varying of the parameters while performing. This section also has a set of sliders that make it fast and easy to control blends of upper and lower tones for splits, dual overlays, etc. Pitch-Bender is also great. Had this on my Korg workstation and this was an added bonus to my new DS88; love it.
All in all, great keyboard, so much fun and so many possibilities!
