The HS-80 is an Alpha Juno 2 with built in amp and speakers. It's easy to use and capable of warm , pleasing sounds. You can store sounds in 64 ram locations or send them off the instument onto audio tape for future reloading.The aftertouch requires alot of pressure which is annoying . Programming this synth seems to be a good introduction to understanding the components of musical syntheseis
Comments About the Sounds:
Most of the preset sounds suffer from unnatural modulation rates but are easily remedied by adjusting the grouped parameters or the individual parameter using the alpha wheel
