All user reviews for the Roland JUNO-D

I will not repeat the features, everything has been said above. -1 For non-weighted keys with cons

UTILIZATION

Keyboard easy to learn, editing sounds is fairly limited but adequate and simple. The chords generator is very convenient. the manual is quite simple and clear, even if I was not able to manage the afternoon with my MPC2500.

SOUNDS

I mainly of instrumental hip hop, old school enough to trends (big inspiration Funk, Soul, Jazz and some rock).
Drum kits: kits "realists" are very good, those HH / R & B / Electro are less successful.
SFX: From the very basic view of the useless, the sounds are not credible, it is very "gadget"
Piano: Overall very well managed including the large soft and sweet course that put a good slap.
Keyboards & Org: Is there any, organs are mostly well managed and some as the power fst B are incredible, the other sounds are also very well overall.
Guitars: then it is a black spot on the machine, both the electric are rather well done as you are not looking to reproduce a solo anthology, as the acoustics are despicable and unconvincing.
Orch: The bank's is pretty damn good and quite believable as a whole.
World: The sounds are very nice except one or two for special mention shaku are impressive.
Brass: the black dot. The best patches may be marked "clean" and used on music and the realism is not appropriate (eg crunk) but the rest is really infamous and synthetic sounds and very cheap.
Vocal & Pad: The pads are nice backing vocals a little less but the whole is freindly.
Synth: as usual there is everything but since it does not require a synthetic sound to be realistic, they do well, but not as an sh201.
Bass: The bass range and very successful general, however, they tend to saturate at high volume.

Effects: Personally I do not hardly ever used, I apply my own effects on the final mix. Of what he was seeing me they are usually quite successful.

In short sounds range from excellent to awful, if one applies a post recording process sounds are not getting sound very realistic and very hot.

OVERALL OPINION

I use for about five months, I have a big preference for keyboards (piano, rhodes, organs) as well as bass and instruments "world", for cons I do not use acoustic guitars or brass instruments. I have not had the opportunity to try other models but given demonstrations of other products I would say it's an excellent price / quality ratio. I think if I could I would resume with the processing behind it can become one of the best synths of this range, see on some instruments than those of the higher ranges (Note that I use it only for recording and I do not play live, so I can take my time to hack)

OVERALL OPINION

Very good 61-key synth with MIDI ports (pc) and audio (amp, caspque), hundreds of sounds (piano, synthesizer, organ, strings etc. ......) good. My goal was to find a good 61-key not too big nor too heavy to the metal (mainly COB, Nightwish and Warmen) to rise up with variable angle. And I found the keyboard that I had not been able to buy a Korg X5 or X5D. I highly recommend it to anyone who seeks the same thing as me, because it is very easy to handle and sounds very powerful. => http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=55VkL2Nht6w

See other opinion, too long to type

UTILIZATION

This is my first synth I find rglages, paramtrages ,.... too complicated, much like the first multi-effects for guitar, too long Settings, which is why I use only the sounds of orogine by modifying the sound with the potentiomtres , and in real time without saving changes. The manual is dcourageant, I have still not assimilated. I took 8 months to dip Performance mode .....

said in May 2009: in the end, extremely simple to use, but it's true that the manual is not clear Tropp, I triturated many sounds, I think going further, trying a + + synthesis and refined dot with a sampler and even more polyphony. I Relva my bill. However, a wheel and a notch rglage + t off would not hurt, but hey, considering the price ....

SOUNDS

The sounds are really ralistes, I think: this synth is low on samples, so the sounds are trs correct, the piano sounds great, organs trs INTERESTED (I am of course harmony in a church with a real organ sounds are trs close!), however, I play with headphones to avoid GNER person, a good quality headphone is ESSENTIAL! According to the headset, the sound can be modified or ALTR. Natural Touch is trs, although the keyboard Ragit attack and inspires confidence.
I like the sounds + piano bright, warm and training, the organ sounds, the sounds of harp and the sound of the bell, trsralistes. For my part, I do not change the rglages, see above.

with the performance mode .... it's really better

OVERALL OPINION

Used for + / - 2 years, I find it useful to follow my trs being and harmony WRITING, donns on keyboard. I am a guitarist and do not have much possde keyboard technique, but I find this keyboard sounds trs good for this price. The seller had a big test on Roland amp and the sound I was immediately on his sduit ism. There are certainly better on the market but for me it is well trs, original presets satisfy me.

Once I fell into it ....... looking for a Submitted MODEL + + volumes to go away ....

Everything is already said

UTILIZATION

It is essential to control the settings through the software. It's super easy if it galley!

SOUNDS

As I already have a keyboard arranger, Juno is only intended as a synthesizer. Besides, it's a synth. Seek the opinions below rather arrangers when I read that the pianos are good bla bla bla!

I do not use the piano for a piano (I have what I need), I change the piano to become anything but a piano, a synthesizer is here! Sound design, edit, virtual.

I started 20 years ago by a Korg MS-10 (analog), then poly 800 etc. ...

All sounds are good ... edit: the aim of a synthesizer.
The effects are huge, powerful: the impressive digital (electro oriented, lacks a bit of heat, but payable in computer music)


OVERALL OPINION

+ Lead
+ Multi purpose
+ Knobs
+ Rendering
+ Software (Juno-D Editor Librarian)
+ Touch

- User memories just a little
- Beatbox useless on a synth
- Volume difference according to patch

Buy 150 euros in hand with warranty 6 months (in 2010)! What more?
For my current needs, yes I do it again this election

See other reviews.
I am basically an acoustic piano having back problems, and seeking a synth to play him in the horse repeatedly. The criterion "weight" is more important than the criterion "hacking sound. I am not a professional but an amateur who plays frequently for the past 15 years. My record is essentially jazz, with frequent forays into funk.
In short, I am not at all a "keyboard player" in the sense that his work (edit, import, midi, etc ...) does not interest me. As long as I sound and rhodes piano okay, I'm happy.
I wanted to say, given the profile of the musician is highly dependent on the opinion he has on his instrument ...

UTILIZATION

The synth is very light, which is very important for me having my back. It is relatively small (61 keys) and end, which really helps to carry around everywhere.
The configuration is simple and very intuitive, I never opened the manual!
It is wrong also because the opportunities are enormous beast. Any takers of hacking, there's plenty to do!
The sounds are not editable, it seems to me, but for fans, there is a model Juno Di which is a bit more expensive but allows the manipulation '.


SOUNDS

As I said in intro, I am basically a jazz pianist, acoustic, playing funky from time to time.
I am very attached to my acoustic piano sound, vibration of the instrument.
Therefore, obviously, it's not on my Juno that I sound Steinway!
And yet, despite the fact that I am demanding nature "sound", I must say I am very pleased with this keyboard.
The sounds of Rhodes and organ are really great, realistic, and we feel that the attack button will vary the sound.
The piano sounds are more than correct, I've played in groups with and it works very well.
The keyboard is quite comfortable, I never thought that a pianist does swearing by the heavy hit as I can be comfortable on it. While the keyboard is soft, but I've played much worse, and you get used quickly, in fact.

Of course the sounds are not as good as the Korg SV1 I tried not too long ago. But the difference in price (1500 euros!) And the weight would be justified only if you have a strong back, budget, total allergy keyboard light, and you really do not want to, but then really do not want play on imitation certainly imperfect but very correct sounds of piano and organ.


OVERALL OPINION

This keyboard is really exactly what was needed for me.
As I said before, the opinion on the instrument varies according to the profile of the musician and your desires, so go try it before buying.

But honestly, for a really low price (around 400 euros), a ridiculous weight, sounds really good, as flawless reliability, I do not see what else is there to indulge in beef and be repeated without shit to lug around 20 kilograms of heavy electric piano to the touch.
When I want to go beef, tiny feet the Juno and lightweight are a blessing.

Maybe in the future, I sells it to buy the Di Juno, because apparently I could import sounds of piano and rhodes even more realistic.
But for now, given my budget, time available and the quality of the beast, the Juno D is sufficient to my happiness.

The Roland Juno-D is a 61 key synthesizer that can be used in a variety of situations and applications.  It can be used as a typical synth or as an emulation system for acoustic instruments.  The synth has a huge amount of patches and effects and has 1/4 connections for inputs and output as well as MIDI connections and 1/4 inch connections for pedals.  The synth also comes with software for use within your computer and while I haven't really used this portion of the synth, it's definitely cool to have this option.

UTILIZATION

Using the Roland Juno-D isn't hard as the interface of the keyboard is pretty straight forward and easy to follow.  It is easy to scroll through the patches and to create and save your own, as well as to mess with the effects and all that.  After playing around with the synth for a short while I was able to pretty much understanding going on, and those with any experience with similar synths shouldn't have too many problems figuring out this keyboard.  I've never seen the manual for the Roland Juno-D so I can't say if it would be helpful to learn this keyboard or not.


SOUNDS

The sounds that are possible with the Roland Juno-D are quite varied as all sorts of sounds are possible.  My favorite sounds that this synth has to offer is probably the more traditional synth sounds rather than emulations.  All of the sounds that are possible are quite good, but since this is catered to being more of a real synthesizer, it give you more parameters and options to control these sounds over any other ones.  For this reason, I would probably only pick one of these up if you are looking for more of a tradtional synth rather than an emulator of acoustic instruments like piano and orchestra.


OVERALL OPINION

I've only used the Roland Juno-D a handful of times for recording sessions, but during these sessions I've definitely liked what I've heard from this synth.  It was easy to use from the start and all of the sounds are quite realistic with a number of parameters to help you get the sounds that you are after.  All in all, I would definitely recommend checking out this synth as Roland has done a great job with this synth.
