All user reviews for the Roland JUNO-DI

see description of Marty lower

UTILIZATION

No need to open the manual, it could not be more clear from a few hours to use and works generally like all synths its range all brands.
The envelope effect is classic but effective nevertheless hyper sensitive.
Beatbox or Arpegio syncro + MIDI. Be careful not to dualize spliter or keyboard during an active phase of Rhythms, they stop all net!
Sustain Pedal (pfff still hold key ...)

SOUNDS

Pallets excellent sound and ultra copious in each style!
In particular, the bank Vocal Pads and rich sounds that "the mouth", ideal for environments with psychedelic background vocals or voice
Vocoder more than minimal

OVERALL OPINION

I enormously useful for component part due to its huge sound palette.
In the "Buy & play" category, this is a very good choice, whatever their style of music.

The Roland Juno-Di is a synthesizer keyboard that is easy to work with and understand. It is very user friendly and comes loaded with over a thousand high quality presets or sounds that you can use right away without having to add a bunch of effects or EQ to them. The Juno-Di does not have a sound on it that I didn’t like.

UTILIZATION

The Roland Juno-Di is a portable keyboard as well, it looks bigger than it actually is and it is pretty light. So if you want to use it for live shows, you can easily put it in a bag or a keyboard case and take it with you.

SOUNDS

Some of my favorite sounds on the Juno-Di are the guitars, grand and electric pianos, strings, and brass. Some of the percussion on the Juno-Di is pretty good, but I prefer to use my own percussion kits and drums. You can also use the Juno-Di without plugging it into the wall. It does run off a battery, and they battery life will give you a few hours of straight continuous use without having to charge or plug it in the wall.

OVERALL OPINION

The Juno-Di does come with a manual but I didn’t not need to look at it at all because everything is easy to understand just by looking at the front of the keyboard. You can even connect your iPod or MP3 player to the Juno-Di via the external input. You can also plug in a microphone to use with the Juno-Di, you can then run your voice through the built in vocoder on the Juno-Di and do some really cool stuff to your voice for live performances or even studio and recording use. The Juno-Di is not only affordable, but it feels and sounds great. This is the most portable Juno keyboard that I have used.

After seeing the Roland Juno Di displayed at guitar center I ended up getting curious and wanting to see how it sounded. So I started messing with it right in the store. Next thing I know 2 hours passed, I cant believe how much fun I was having with it and didn’t have any confusion about anything on it. It was really easy to use right in the store so I was sure that once I purchased it (months later) it would be just as easy to use at home. I do only use the Di just for sounds and effects I have not sequenced on it since I was messing with it in the start about 3 years ago. I don’t like sequencing on units that have small screens for some reason. I will always use a computer to sequence , but getting the audio from the Roland Juno Di to my DAW was very easy.


UTILIZATION

It’s a 61 key synth with velocity sensitive keys, and a good selection of effects. It an also run on a battery power and doesn’t need to be plugged in. Which is pretty cool, but I would never use it battery powered anyways and im not sure how long the battery life could last on its own like that.


SOUNDS

Sounds are really good, when you start adding some effects and getting creative that’s when you will see the real power of the Roland Juno Di.


OVERALL OPINION

The price of this keyboard is very affordable, you really don’t have any other options when it comes to wanting good sounds and good effects on a easy to operate keyboard. This could be Rolands easiest keyboard to operated. It is not the best one they have made but it is the easiest to get started with and use, very affordable and different.

See doc or previous opinions.

I was looking for a real synth, with a few buttons to fiddle with but a good basis for presets.

UTILIZATION

I am a nozzle keyboards and this one suits me very well: simple, effective, chock full of sounds. The manual is good and tweaking sounds extremely simple for simple hacks (filtres. ..).

SOUNDS

The sound effects and fit me very well, arpeggiator sync to MIDI clock or internal, as synchronisablms oscillators.

There are plenty of sounds that I love and I hate full, too acidic or techno, nothing abnormal. There are some delicious subs to bring out the coil woofer.

OVERALL OPINION

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is it simple?

so simple

Editing sounds and effects is it easy?

PC editor is highly recommended

The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

I did not open the manual!



Good keyboard away considerably from what Roland does with the famous Juno (106 for example!)

(But why Roland resume often the names of these famous synths for keyboards these days in the 21 th century and have no bearing on her?)

Indeed, as with a Juno 106 can hardly make it sound conventional (Piano, flute etc) Both a Di it's hard to have a good sound in The Pad juno!
he must know what you want, and if I chose this keyboard was just to have more traditional sounds.
The DI and with it is served!
over 1000 sounds, no less, variations of piano sounds are really many (too?)

The sounds are impressive at times before the plastic keyboard that looks at first can be scary.

As against the stage so it is very convenient for weight, and sounds easily found by categories or favorites, I found a serious lack of sin, a shame.

It is difficult to combine the effects (reverb, delay) on several sounds simultaneously on a piece sequenced in cubase or Sonar especially if these effects are diametrically opposed.
ie the 2nd or 3rd sound you chose will not have the effects it can have by choosing it as a single preset.

A big plus for the publisher Pc is best to go to the heart of the "silly" and make their own sounds.

SOUNDS

The sounds they are suitable to your style of music?

Yes I have chosen for that!

Are they realistic?

Yes for most

The effects are they effective and responsive?

Quite

The expression is good?

Correct, but no aftertouch

What are the sounds you prefer, you hate? ...
Lots of good sounds and it can very well do so even
000 piano, pads, bass I do not know what else to quote!

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?
Almost a year

What is so special that you love the most, least?

Its price!

Have you tried many other models before buying it?
so many, it is the most "realistic" in relation to the proposed price.

How would you rate the quality / price? *
Excellent

With experience, you do again this choice? ...
IYes I would do, but with more money I would choose a 80 jupiter

See data sheet

UTILIZATION

Usage is pretty simple. On the keyboard part no problem, it's a plastic keyboard touch everything from classic.

The menus sound banks are sorted by genre which is convenient.
The sound editing is done in two ways: 1) on the keyboard, returning to the edit menu, you can then adjust the volume, effects, velocity, reverb, the superposition of two sounds or the way "split" between the two keyboard (the one on the left and the right one for rehearsal and practice where we do not want to carry around two keyboards).
2) the other way is through editing software on computer and connecting the USB keyboard. There you can edit everything, oscillator frequencies, curve ... and it is much easier to get a more "personalized" in this mode. But be careful as it all is a gas plant so be careful ears.

The + is the USB mode, you can lower the sound of the synth and usb drive a VST instrument. Very convenient.

SOUNDS

1000 sounds about I think. In short it is like groovebox for those who have known: There are some very nice sound for the money and very bad that you never will but I think there is something for everyone.
The pianos are quite realistic (again for the price), the organ is quite good especially when one adjusts the sustain pedal on the modulator. Do not expect to have sick Wurlitzer (or keyboard while targeting a 2000 or 3000 euros)

What fishing really is the little sound effects assignable to (2) do not even have a knob that can control it live. Personal I leave the sound on a KAOSS pad to compensate. You can put one or more effects pedals if you wish.

Parcontre effects are quite good but watch out for the right amount

OVERALL OPINION

Purchased in November, used on stage. Responded well, the sound engineer galèrent not too much for the mix ...
For the price it is unbeatable, it's a very decent keyboard, not too heavy to carry.
If you have more gold coins, type in the models above.

The pros: price / quality ratio; lot of sounds, can be used as a master keyboard midi / usb; modes "Split" and "Dual", the sound editing software, the keyboard and knobs are in good bill compared to other more expensive keyboards.

The -: Many sounds totally useless, and the severe lack of control knobs (such rate, osc, and MFX1 ... 2) the change in live sound that cuts sound and puts 2 / 3 seconds to load (on scene that can be quickly annoying);

Yes I would do this either with the budget seen as value for money, the editing capabilities of computer ... And if I could afford it I would take a Jupiter ... or north

Synthe, USB, analog output, processing numrique, over 1000 sounds, sounds ptits but hey, I was looking for a portable keyboard for jamming the collection's outdoor, light weight 5.2kg, the pots dpassent, damages, they may break quite quickly unless I take a jigbag (but the price is a bit EXAGRES), the keyboard is correct, I also have a piano so I do not m'inquite finger way to make pretty things with the keyboard, spacing notes amlior by rounding on the black keys, for me it's because my fingers are a little wider ....

Possibility sustain pedals assignment on the effects etc ... Also runs on batteries in case o I want a beautiful landscape inspire me to build myself a little bit, his headphone while perfectly adequate, it is the small keyboard IDAL To create without taking the t te, power supply, headphones and hop off you go, APRS can be transposed on a fantom g toiut for example, or any other station a little more consquente.

UTILIZATION

Manual with tutorial, config intuitive and fast accessible. Follow some indication of a dozen pages with examples and go, a flat, part self agreements is a bit short of explanation, especially changes in cl but good with a little solfge, quickly found what was said in there.

SOUNDS

Ct sound, there is enough to compose and work, but I think it's a bit lightweight for the model, all fawn, it's not for prvu is a mobile keyboard to test and CRER live with an amplifier whose bandwidth is a little fawn any limit, will not really matter, the sounds are sufficient to a good deal of horseplay and that's exactly what I wanted, esthte of all stripes, rear as you will find that this station is a little narrow but again it is not in this context that is proposed.

Ct effects, there is little prs DSIR all you can on a particular synth editor that can accder by PC by connecting the synth to the PC via USB, there what fun (16 tracks, all effects are paramtrables etc. ...), IDAL to a song on computer, without using Reason and other music production software

Box pace intgre useful and I gain mtronome

OVERALL OPINION

I got ds its release, it's really the utility I expected, it connects some prs on everything you can imagine, cl USB, Computer, External microphone, ACCS experne with a walkman (ideal for rpter a piece) it's a little acoustic guitar that we all hung out for testing and set to music when you sing, the price is fine for a device as practical, no regrets on my investment, I have traveled great distances dj with this synth and I feel, (if I am not sting in the meantime) to with beautiful ballads. is full of opportunities and prt in minutes, provided that spend some time understanding how it works.

I did not tal about the specs that you find around the sites that offer it, by the way the Roland demo video on youtube is fucked and no lack of humor and also no lies, it Describes exactly the Juno DI with its possibilities.
