Someone may have already said this, but there's another way to select a preset sound, if you know its number. Hit the Numeric button, enter the number on the 0-9 buttons, then press Enter. Thanks for this great intro video. I'm still in grade school on the Juno DS.
I have watched your videos re the Juno DS 61. I have had mine a week now and its a big learn kerb for me. When I hear all these sounds U get excited. Thank you for taking the time out to teach us what you know. You have been very clear, confident and concise. You know what you are doing. Can you please tell us ( me ) how to use the Assign buttons on the left Keyboard section?. I think you should rewrite the crappy manual Roland supply which is quite useless. You do a far better job. Well done!
Thanks for the detailed review! May I ask you if juno is capable of changing patches without gap e.g. i play a certain sound and then i switch to the following sound smoothly without the previous sound being interrupted/cut
Thanks , I’ve been trying to decide on the DS or RD-88, I did find the DS easy to navigate almost out of the box except for having to write a patch before saving to a favorite! The bigger size of the DS compare to the RD makes gigging a little more tricky I find , takes up more real estate on small stages and slightly heavier. I’ll check out some of your other videos if I go with the DS. 😊
I have one and I'm trying to determine if it's possible to use to midi control an external synth (Hydranth in particular)? I know the midi works with DAWs but I can't find any specific info on hardware connectivity
I have been able to control other external synths with the Juno using the midi ports. But all I wanted to connect was the key bed, I didn't try any other parameters. Hope this helps!
Hey 3rd Eye ... u ROCK MAN!!‼️‼️ just ordered mine a few min ago from AMERICAN MUSIC SUPPLY with 18 monthly payments of $73 a month and I also just got the ASM HYDRASYNTH last month so we on the same level I am hoping to control the HYDRASYNTH because the keyboard is too small on it I need the length lol
I would say that the Juno DS is still relevant in 2020! I have never really played the Korg Kross or the Yamaha MX61, so I don't know how they compare.
You can change filter cutoff, resonance, ADSR, add fx, layer, that's it afaik. Don't own one yet though. I think MX61 and Kross 2 have the same limitations or if it's possible to do more it's probably a pain.
Thanks for the review. Can you tell me how the keys feels like? Does it feel like a real piano? Heavy, medium or light? It would be nice if you tell me. 😅
In my opinion, the keys feel very good. They feel very high quality, and about the closest thing you can get to feeling like a piano. The action is heavy. If you compare it to other weighted keyboards it is definitely on the heavier side of it.
My question is can I layer two sounds on top of each other so like if I wanted to use a basic string section with a aahhs choir over it I hit an A chord both sounds will trigger at the same time? Currently with my keyboard i record my choir sections in my daw then record the string sections after. I'd like to be able to do it in one go
Hi, a whole new language for me as I bought this to just play piano not realizing the technology involved. Can you suggest what type of monitor pairs I should get as well as headphones. Did not realize you needed this in order to have sound. Thanks
When I bought the Juno DS, the headphones I had, were the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro. I have had them for 3 years and they have worked flawlessly! About two years ago I got the Peavey KB 1 keyboard amplifier. I have liked it, and would recommend it. Before I got that amp I had a 30 dollar amp. I would recommend spending the money on a nicer amp because it will sound much better. As far as monitor pairs, I have not owned any (yet) so I don't have any good recommendations.
@@JoeLinux2000 RD88 internal speakers are trash, besides, RD88 has all DS sounds and much much more, though you can't edit sounds deeply or use user samples. Also, RD-88 is a stage piano, while DS is stripped down 16 part multimbral workstation.
I have wanted to change it before but was not able to find anything. When I looked it up on google I found this forum about changing the pitch bend: forums.rolandclan.com/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=51732. Hope this helps!
Can you record in your DAW a Guitar by connecting the Speakers Output of the Guitar amp to the Line-input of the Juno DS? Does that work? Or is that input not listed in your DAW software, just meant for playback? I am considering it over the FA-06 but that's important to me.
Exalter and Pheonix Chant.....you do not want to be recording guitars into a mike input for reasons which are too complicated to go into here. Please, please look up the older JUNO GI which has a proper audio interface, D beam, proper 8 track recorder and guitar FX. You can thank me later 😎. Honestly I nearly died when I found this n I cannot believe Roland have released something with a lot less features for more money 😱
@@tronlady1 In the end I got the FA-06. It has less guitar amps and sounds than the last Juno but at least a decent guitar and audio input and some nice supernatural tones. Too bad they erased those features from the former Juno Di
Thanks for the video, I just got one today, after my juno G broke down for the second and last time , they wanted $569 to replace the main board, I don't like the new display, takes forever to navigate, the old one was much easier to scroll through the lists, until it failed and had to be replaced, you are right, the drum sounds are awful, much worse than the G, also I noticed that some of the same patches still exist from the G, but are not as good, but there are some nice new ones, does anyone know if you can get the old G patches to possibly download to the DS, so, my first impression is not a real good one, sorry to say, at least they ditched the battery box.
I'm looking to get the 61 key.... Can you use expansion sounds in performance / dual / split modes? And will changing expansions erase your user patches?
You can use expansion sounds in all modes! I am pretty sure that it will not delete your patches if you change your expansions (unless the change is deleting that patch). However, I would check in the Manuel just to be sure.
@@ExalterAlso, one more thing; When recording a pattern, can you overwrite a single loop? (I.e. record a drum loop but then add other percussion on top of that loop)
@@NKWoodworksYou can not merge multiple pads together into one pad. You have to record the different percussive parts on one pad over multiple takes.
At the moment I am living abroad and I haven't had access to a USB stick to import samples so disappointingly, I can't be of any help... Glad you liked the review though!
I found it, you need the Libririan programm on the roland website....scroll down till the end.....connect it with you PC and the DS.....that´s it. But very appreciated that you answered me.
To my knowledge there is only a 61 key version and 88 key version. I have never heard of a 76 key Juno DS and can't find any references too it anywhere... Also, I can't find it for sale.
Exalter hi, I just checked with my local retailer (I'm in Australia) and he has one in stock. Apparently it's a reasonably new product but it's definitely available. My other concern is that this is getting to be a pretty old machine now, as is the Yamaha MX and the Korg Krome which are the other units I'm looking at. They go back 7 or 8 years! Do they still hold up in 2020 in your opinion? I'm keeping my eye on NAMM reports for an update as surely they will be replaced soon :/
@@officialWWM Wow!! Looks cool! So, in my opinion the Juno DS is a very nice keyboard. It is only a few years old so I say it is as good as ever! But that is my opinion. I would recommend going to your local music shop and playing the other keyboards and seeing what your opinion is! I find buying musical instruments is more about taste than whether something is outdated or brand new. Hope this helps somewhat....
Exalter well, I took a chance and bought it yesterday :) I tried a few different ones and almost bought the Korg Kross but I wasn't sure that I could live with the touch screen in a live setting. Also, I liked the transpose button being easily accessible cause we play a lot of songs in E flat and the ability to mix sounds with the faders in real time is cool too. That seemed a lot harder to do on the Korg. So far, I'm having a great time with it but I'm trying to nail the organ sound in Whiter Shade of Pale and I'm struggling. Can you offer any advice?
If you hold down shift and press button number 0. It will take you to a menu. You want to be in the first tab (called common) and scroll down until you see mono/poly. Here you can change the sound from polyphonic (multiple notes at a time) to monophonic (only one note at a time). I hope this helps!
I would say this piano is great for a newbie. It is simple to use, but as you explore it, there are many great features! Yes, you can connect it to an iPad!
@@Exalter I read the manual but it only mentions playback of wav files. It is totally strange that midi files not mentioned even once in the manual. Anyway , thanks for the help !
You missed the numerical feature where you can select sounds numerically rather than scrolling through but thanks for doing this. I am really, really torn between the 76 key version of this or the older JUNO GI which is an absolute beast😖
Can you start by saying which version this is: 66, 76 or 88? And explain that the 88 is the only weighted version. Then, do the review, which is good by the way.
Greetings everyone I am looking at purchasing the Juno DS for my band and live performances. I had a quick question. I know that you can save sounds under favorites and pull them up quickly during live gigs. Here is the question. If I save a sound, do I have the ability save it in a transposed key. So if you have a horn sound saved....can I save it so I can play in E position but it is really in Eb. I hope this makes sense.....and hope someone can respond! Thanks and take care
The keyboard does have this function and MORE! I've had mine for about 2 weeks now and I ADORE it, It has Many many sounds and options to make it feel like your own. The weighted keys feel nice and heavy (Very accurate to a real piano giving it a better playing experience) and the keys are also very responsive. I hope my comment helped and more have a great one!
@@noahtdgthediamondgollom4335 Hey there, just a question for you since you seem knowledgable on this synth. I've also owned a Juno DS for some time now (sometimes find trouble getting the time to play it). The only thing I feel maybe isnt up to par with what I imagined when owning a hardware synthesizer is the sound / patch editing functions on board the unit. So you can edit things like cutoff, resonance.. ADSR, all the normal things youd imagine in a synth, add FX to your sounds.. reverb, EQ, but it's not possible to edit the base waveforms and re-amp / repatch anything like LFOs, etc.? This I suppose you'd get out of a more traditional synth I suppose but I might just still be novice in my experience so far on the Juno.Can you comment to how deep the sound design goes in itself on this synth?
@@Exalter I'm glad that you stated to comment for any corrections. :) I've decided to buy a DS 61, what can you tell about the keybeds difference between 61 and 88? I know the 88 keybeds are made for piano more, while I intend to play other stuff. How are you satisfied with the velocity and hand feel from the DS so far? Thank you. Also are there any cons you've encountered? Regards.
@@avittas One of the cons about the weighted keys is they are very weighted. The reason why I got the weighted keys was because I needed a keyboard to practice piano on due to not having a piano at the moment. It serves that purpose and I have been happy with the feel, but I think if I was to get a keyboard to just to play live I would get synth action keybed. The 61 version is synth action which means it isn't weighted at all which I prefer when playing organs or synths. I hope this helps!
@@Exalter Definitely it helps. Thank you again, brother. Just one last question is about the sound/voice quality compared to the video presentations on TH-cam. Is it the same as in those videos or? Best regards!
@@avittas I don't completely understand your question, but I will do my best to answer. The sound quality is about the same on TH-cam as in real life, although in some demos they only pick the best sounds...
