Together comprehensive enough.

USE

I find not super easy to use, but with the training even when you get there. I half days understand the "Philosophy" of edition in performance mode, and fawn split the keyboard.
For cons, the use of sound edition software is very easy, super fast .... it's simple to understand, the performance mode, for me, it is almost always with the app!
Note that this is my first synth so I can not be A reference in the field.

SONORITS

I am rather jazz (piano / bass / trumpet), variety Française (Berger ...) and electro (type Jarre), and I always find a nice sound to do what I want.
The sonorits sounds good to see very good, very varied.
on the other hand I noticed a lightweight sound degradation in performance mode (computer control multitimbral), as if the sound loses momentum, but remains very correct!
The keyboard is very "soft", a real synth what. I am a pianist at the departure, I thought it hard to adapt myself but it is easily accessible in the end.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I've had two months, I am very spot for the price. I think c'tait a good choice (the best, I know I have nothing to tell). It helps to have some fun and start with ease of handling Afternoon of a synth

How would you rate the quality / price?

So it is that its complicated, the quality of the keyboard is mediocre fears that the dust has time to have to change all the rubbers (buffers that support the platinum) and that's what I did there a can and then I've also change the plate and tablecloth reread the keyboards to the plate because it wrong position (near the vices and support on the motherboard, mine was abimmer) roland send my models that are After the last juno-di - and juno-gi, so everything is new I think to be quiet for some time,
So when you buy one, make sure all the buttons and knobs as


With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Yes, despite all the sounds are good, and the repair is if you know if is not complicated to do and the price is reasonable, to expensive technical aze I ue for 90 euros (platinum, rubbers switch, cable assy) and then it allows you to change gear for the best quality (at least that's my personal opinion)
I put a note 5 average for overall opinion, but if you do have problems mentioned above could be the score of 7!

Looking for a last-minute ticket to spend a few days across seas, my eye felt on flyer of some musicstore in Amsterdam. They sold the Roland for € 300,- as a bargan sale. Knowing I could keep the keyboard/synth for years, still enjoying the sounds of my old Roland E36, and travelling for a living most of the time, I called my brother and asked him if he would be so nice to come over. He lives in Amsterdam so I told him to go by the musicstore before heading my way.

No trip to the United States or Southern Europe, but a nice new soundmodule for me that summer.

It has nice sounding presets, also for dancemusic. It has the legendairy 808 and 909 kits, which are like all other sounds editable, by MIDI, included pc editor of right away on the toy itself (but you need to know your way to make quick edits).

For today you could say there are not enough programmable knobs on the surface, but then again, it's a instrument before t-screen.

The effects are good, but you can use just one at the time, good enough for studio, lesser for live (if you don't have on outboard fx-rack that is!).

About the beatbox... never use it. Never tried but just a few hits. I got cooler toys for that.

display is a bit small

UTILIZATION

The presets are good enough to get the sound you are looking for by just tweaking a little. You just need to learn the sounds.

But for a beginner it could feel like just not the bomb,
once familiar with MIDI and it's potentials, this Roland does the trick.

I also have a V-drum by Roland and again, it could not sound more pro then that in my ears. Remember, there sound you hear at home is a combination of all routed hardware. But the Roland part is quality sound, it a pro brand and the sound you hear a lot in the media.

SOUNDS

I like the sounds using a external reverb and for the recording touch off course some sort of eq to ballans it in the mix.



OVERALL OPINION

It is a keyboard with the MIDI capability to make it way better then a synth played by some-one that does not reaches the big budget-synth potentials.
It's way better that low budget old time synths.

As a drummodule, it rocks!
All dancetracks can be made on this babe, but you need skills, for that's how big boys use this kind of toys!

The Roland Juno D is a good board, I wasn’t sure about this one after spending 3 hours on it at the guitar center down the road. One thing that I can stand with it is the interface and sequencing just didn’t do it for me. But there where certain sounds that I really liked and the on board controls to minipulate those sounds made it really easy for me to get the sound I was really looking for .


UTILIZATION

Very easy to operate, its almost to easy. You may only need the manual just to understand a few small things. But sequencing on it was difficult for me because I am use to a more user friendly screen and menus. There really just wasn’t much to the interface of this board. Maybe it was just too easy for me and that’s why I didn’t like it because I am use to sequencing on other workstations that have a much more complex screen and menus.


SOUNDS

The sounds a pretty good, especially when you add a few small effects you will really like the sounds you can get when you play around a little bit. The brass on here is what surprised me the most, I didn’t expect to hear such a big band style of brass. Its just sounds full and rich when those horns are being played. I can honestly say the brass on here was some of my favorite presented brass out of almost any board on the market. The brass was ready to fit right in to my songs with out any equine or anything. It was almost made just for me.


OVERALL OPINION

Overall, This board is really easy. If you want something easy then this is what you need. Its not much to look at and doesn’t look all fancy. that’s because its not fancy. Its good though and has all the connections you need to get it right to you DAW. Its very realistic and ready to go right into your mixes. You will love the Roland Juno D.

UTILIZATION

For use, I've seen easier in terms of editing, a rotating wheel would have greatly increased ergonomics. Never plugged in USB, if I buy a synth is not for me lugging a computer ...

SOUNDS

For sounds, this synth is so general you can find everything, good and also not so good. The organs are correct, but the pianos means it goes live, the synth sounds there is a lot of gadget and the sounds of violins and sax are only good for working compositions, the guitars are ugly as all the synthe I think. The keyboard is not transcendent, but the sale price I was not expecting a hammer-thing else.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this synth at the time of its release but the build quality is really zero at zero. After using one or twice a week, rehearsals and concerts, there is more than a dozen keys that match the buttons again and started to become unresponsive, one after the other, I am revising buttons and keyboard not it was too expensive. I use it again from time to time as expander. Since I moved to Clavia Nord Electro is more expensive but much better and more reliable.

I just got this little acqurir juno-d and my time is not bad at all.
This is a keyboard that has all scne more simple and pure with a living wage (effects, arpeggiator ...), in second keyboard or ideal for basic use. With a wide range of sounds,
it offers a great diversity in the game.

UTILIZATION

The grip and fast (little understanding). The splits are easily edit and effects too. Small flat when the position of the pots for modlisation sound live, they are located in right hand (the left is much more convenient for modlisations chorus of Big B flat except ...). , billing for the manual is in English.

SOUNDS

We arrive at the trs cots good, sounds good when quality cd, both are excellent hammond organ style or jazz, the keyboards ... I also have a KORG TRITON but the juno-d has nothing to envy of the cot. (To play two keyboards, they are perfectly complmentaires.) Effects are certainly fewer and less sound than TRITON. The brass sounds are despicable Obviously but sounds like TRITON.Les SYNTH style are less rich than korg but for the cost of this keyboard, the sound banks are of good quality trs.

OVERALL OPINION

The report qualitprix I think is unbeatable for an amateur or a second keyboard is really the ideal. So do not hesitate to listen these sounds in the store and you'll probably packed as I t. .. GOOD MUSIQUE.SALUT.

Rv I always have a pure synth sounds with super raliste in order to make the components of quality (I'm rather film music / atmosphere, and another c t symphonic metal).
The Juno-D so it's a synth 61 notes, but heavy hollow buttons fully programmable, pitch wheel / modulation, output standard (mono / stereo, MIDI, etc.), we can plug in a PDAL is buy part, 64 notes polyphony, a ton of effects (chorus, reverb, delay), all in less compltement paramtrable dtail. The sounds are few in number prs 700, they can be combined in dual or split, or can rgler indpendamment custom settings of both in these two modes, style trs is vast, ranging from classical, baroque, jazz, electro, and even techno.

UTILIZATION

The manul is not too bad but may be lack of dtail of certain functions.
The keyboard is simple, it is rapidly trs simple operation of the BTE.
The function buttons of a ct (sound mode / effect / paramtre ...), and the navigation buttons on the other

SOUNDS

As I said, I am plutt trip in film music, so what m'intresse above all is the acoustic sounds, all that is strings, brass, organs, fltes , etc ... and what the ct I t carrment bluff just great! in each CATEGORY, full of variants, in addition to the modulations that can be done on each of the sounds, like the attack, resonance, etc, etc.
The brass are really not bad at all, even if there's any, like sound more or less aggressive and not in the top of instrumenent CATEGORY. But there's really full of brass sounds are superbly raliste, such as sets of horns of all kinds, etc..

The touch is good trs. on the piano is the sound even when the most important on a keyboard, it is beautiful carrment I find the shades are right, full of motions.

OVERALL OPINION

This is the first real synth synth that I offer, I had to wait many years for the price that such an instrument rating. In the beginners I m'tais focal numrique a piano, full key for a truly stunning ism, but I quickly realized that this kind of instrument is the piano for clavi Rist. Me what my boot is to have a wide range of sounds super ralistes, to the orchestration of all kinds, and really the Juno-D is a marvel. For this price you really have not the hsit!

I will not return to this whichis said before ...

UTILIZATION

It's really a "small" synth gnial
edition of the sounds really well thought trs ...
the manual is what it is must be the usual for advice "objective" as quite used this kind of "novel" I demauvaise not find this bill on the contrary!

SOUNDS

Lesz sounds are perfect for that price the product, [it's really affordable trs, less than 460th MusicWest uros at the moment (I was bought this week at home)] The Piano are fabulous! !

OVERALL OPINION

It's been one week, and I am satisfied with Fully ... the price is gnial ...

I sign with both hands!

Keyboard 61 keys, trs trs pro and enjoyable the game that reminds me of Roland U 20. (It's not 100% soft, there's a little slap a trs ct fun to play games Piano / Ep). In short it is a strong point of the machine and it's pretty Surprisingly on the entry.
CONTRL level, we find the pitch bend mod Roland, trs convenient for those familiar with the brand. Sr good when you come from Yamaha, one must get used to it a little.
It was the famous D Beam for me that is not used much as the human being is not a dot troisime arm. Anyway I guess plenty of people use it.
The pots in the facade to filter and edit quickly and are a joy vritable can really ring the bbtte as desired. C'tait not an argument for me when buying but now I could do without.

Ct well taken and headphone and LEFT / RIGHT. Hold for a decision pedals. And 2 MIDI only! No Thru, having said that there is a function of the South SOFT THROUGH OUT. But I find really stupid to have the SAVE it.

Its level is the "spquot; usual Roland. More than 640 presets, 20 drum kits, 47 effects and possibilities to affect Reverb, Chorus and its effect on each cross.
64-voice polyphony 16-part.

We have three more functions:
Ryhtme Guide ... a kind of rhythm box / metronome improgrammable whose only interest and lock onto something for work or call. Anyway It's true that from time to time, I found a dresser.
Chord Memory ... A trick mmorisation agree 100% and useless gadget.
And an arpeggiator, which is nice, I think, but if I use very little.
All this comes with a bundle of software on CD Rom 2: a light version of SONAR (SONAR LE) and two soft drinks (An editor, a librarian) who are also on site tlchargableq US Roland.

All at a really low price ... But I remove a congratulations Roland point to the absence of Midi Through!

UTILIZATION

The config is simple trs trs. I have only just used the manual trs. Trs is intuitive but I'm used to from the SERIES of Roland D. .. So I'm not a good guinea pig. I n'dite sounds with the soft or the pots in front (great for live) for passing from page to page on a screen as small, has not made me scared when young but j'tais l ... I must say I got more. In the "wrong damn", the lack of jog wheel and note (I do not like tapping on the buttons). Similarly, there's no sound when you scroll through the patches unlike what you find on korg X. Petit hic also functions only accesible by a keystroke.

SOUNDS

Sounds are many trs but surprise! The Juno D ROMpler more like a keyboard than anything else. There are samples of the sries U, of Canvas, the RS5 editing sauce today. Overall, I find them too punchy and dynamic. But hey that's my opinion. If I had to do by section:
Piano: The sound is pleasant and trs raliste but it's really the home of Roland Roland. This means a round and a rev a bit heavy. Great for the instrumental old (if not classic) or the jazz / blues to pop, but it's not terrible. Those struggling will mail me a little bit, I have a pair of patches that make the thing sound a little SERIES S Yamaha and therefore more about the pop Rock.

The EP: Nice, many people think about the greater good. I find it stunning especially FM lacking heat.

Organs: Too too punchy, lack of vritable hammond.

Battery Kit: Good.

Guitars: Well, realistic and current trs.

Brass: Medium

Orchestra: aa t ever Fort Roland, but a password.

Synth: not original for a bit and then its just a lot of ugly!
Good to be frank, is not the strong point of the machine. Not original, not all Russian.
Still, it is something for every taste and the quality is of the same overall.

Of course, you can edit! But do not expect miracles, the JUNO D JUNO not one, not a D50 but ROMpler. Synthse not really, you can only modify the processing of samples.

Among the stuff a bit irritating, the difference in volume between the patches! Trs annoying to live.

Level expression cons, I find the machine trsrussie. Vritable is a musical instrument and not just a toy technology.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few weeks, what I like about him: The keyboard trs pro (for the home studio) and sounds of good quality (to live) all for just over 3000 balls. Good even when it has also a lot of small defects, the worst is when even his lack of personality. But when you see the price of romplers There's 10 years! This is when even a great plan!

...

UTILIZATION

The Juno-D is very easy to use, it comes out even without notice ... editing sounds on the other hand is quite limited but is very easy too. A really short synth simple to use and effective at the same time

SOUNDS

The sounds are really good for a keyboard that can be classified low-end. I think especially with the sounds of organ and various keyboards (piano, clavinets ...) really good ...
the brass are not very good but not ugly either, they are suitable enough.
Regarding the effects are very well made and as they are easy to handle, the rendering is really good ...

OVERALL OPINION

This is a great quality / price ratio, especially for its ease of use (I'm starting yet) and good sound for its low price! The only small problem may be, unless I am falling on the wrong number, it is quite fragile and in particular the keys (already eudes bp with ...).

Characters very good for the range. Apart from the memories of patches, it frankly lacks the User Memory: User Performance only 8, 8 argège briefs, memoranda of agreements ... 8 It's a little lighter.

The highlight is the touch like semi-weighted which is really nice though difficult to master at first ...

The Juno-D has only two MIDI connections! Yes but the output is Merge Out Box! Besides all keyboards should be equipped with this function so convenient ... I found many bugs! For example, the signal EV-5 pedal on a keyboard master transmitted via the Juno-D to an expander does not! Rather than put the D-Beam: good architecture that does not MIDI based Merge would have been more useful!

Big flaw: In the south does not support the signal of a non-powered external Merge Box (although I only have 3 meter cable ...). The same signal is fully supported by my JV-1080, therefore the fault is with the Juno-D ...

UTILIZATION

Roland typically use very logical.
Main drawback to using: Split Mode does not share the keyboard in MIDI channel 2 which is really a mistake on the part of Roland. So it's not a real split mode but a layer!
Editing is simple even though I have had too much time to work.
The D-Beam is a gadget useless without accuracy. I use an EV-5 pedal! Assigning controllers is very convenient but it is too sensitive to certain effects.

SOUNDS

The sounds are generally good because it recognizes a lot of versions + or - SRJV modified series. That said, I find the piano a little shabby. The buttons for editing the sounds in real time are totally in the spirit of the old Juno. The kits are very successful rhythm. Amplification is good (it was too light on the XP-10)
It's enough fun but good compared to my JV-1080 I fully edit the Juno is a little funny! In short, I use the sounds to blend with those of JV: it allows for combinations but good fun all alone without editing the presets of the Juno-D with very dry and cold. And the difference in volume between the sounds, it really stuff myself!

OVERALL OPINION

Price / quality ratio, it is good and the arpeggiator is great!
I am satisfied with the Juno-D even though I was reluctant to sell it because of the direct split mode which is not one! I had to keep my old XP-10 while I intended to resell. Until we have room for a real master keyboard 88 keys, I will just ...

See more reviews for the technical ...

UTILIZATION

Here is the foot. No need to get out of the ENA to use it. It soon took over, and is ergonomic. The manual is very clear, we read quickly, quickly understood and therefore the most important uses of the beast very quickly.

SOUNDS

I do not know who said that the strings were average, because personal, I think they fart ... Inevitably, it is always the same problem, if you want a violin that sounds violin, bah must bring a violin. Otherwise it sound good, especially for the price. The pianos are not evils, even if it's not worth the pianos of Motif ES rack, but they are not bad. Same for wurlis and other organs, they are good bills ... Ethnic sounds are very nice, they sound good, and take up space ... The analog synth emulations of old are well made, slightly sparkling, but I love ... For fans of things a little disgusting fat is not the right bike. The brass burst of cum, it feels good, especially for small pieces of crunk! The bass is not exceptional, but I was surprised though they were based on the whole, therefore, it does.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had three weeks, and frankly, it's a good machine ... To be completed with a Fantom XR soon!!

All information techniques have already been mentioned, the creator of the agreements is rather nice I think: play your little sister 6 years by pressing 3 notes pif, you have a component. Agreements instead of so sublime as. Finally a gadget is ca.

UTILIZATION

Really easy to use I think I 've never used the manual. The term "modify patch" to manage its sounds in real time, very very practical in concert. It can almost replace the pedal of a piano.

SOUNDS

I'm not expert enough to judge all sounds ... I play a lot of different stuff, I always find a sound that can match the choice is rather wide. The pianos are correct I think, and the rest, although some sounds n 'really hurt and no use has the ear (Si .. if that is true)

OVERALL OPINION

I got this synth for 3 months and I'm really happy with my purchase. Before using it I was playing on a yamaha more upscale (price level anyway) but that does not belong to m. The touch is more sensitive on JUNO and the quality of many sounds including pianos. Its only small default on my part that is its fragility appears (I 've not yet tried to drop it). But if it is light, portable.
Do not hesitate has the aquérir, excellent price / quality ratio. It will surprise you.
