Is the Zen‑powered X the best Juno Roland have ever made? I reviewed the Jupiter‑X and Xm in the Sound On Sound July 2020 issue, and spent the first part of the article discussing how Roland’s BMC hardware and Zen software could be combined to create a range of instruments based upon a single technology. Since then, we’ve seen the ...
2 lis 2022 · The Juno-X’s 61-key keyboard is a high-quality synth action drafted over from the Fantom-0 series and is wonderful to play, with a premium feel and just the right springiness to facilitate accuracy on fast runs.

I have both zencore and ACB (and full analog synths) and the difference is not big, but ACB, as an emulation, goes deeper. Jupiter X and Juno X have zencore but the analog emulation engine is not exactly zencore. It's a new engine based on zencore for the hardware synths.
