Jack you and Andy are the best Roland demonstrators.. your 2 videos made me buy one! And its already my favourite thing ive ever owned just a few weeks into owning one.. u guys rock and so talented ! 👱♀🎹
Point is to write good songs, people dont care, they want a good song, this keyboard is fun to write good songs, simple and a staggering amount of sounds, what more do you want the keyboards back in the day had very few presets. How weird a sound do you want.
Half the complainers are just shitposting out of boredom, and some may not be aware that this keyboard obliterates its competitors in the sound department (Korg Kross and Yamaha MX), and then compare it to the pricier workstations like MOXF or MODX, or digital pianos like P-45 or DGX models, and think this is crap. Not a fair comparison, honestly. It is definitely a great deal at its price point. But so,e folks picking this up are probably better off with a Roland FP30X, Yamaha P-225, Kawaii ES120, or Yamaha CK61. It is only in recent years that digital pianos with higher-res samples are obliterating the workstation keyboards at piano like they have no business existing. But those keyboards lack the sound design and composition scope and flexibility of these workstation type keyboards. Such features are not for everyone picking them up, lol
I'm new at synth (Juno-D6 is my first) and wish I had a way of finding a simple tutorial of how to do the basic stuff. But your video is helping me. Thank you!
Very nice. That’s my dream keyboard. Roland just does the stuff so well, I don’t wanna switch to Yamaha now in my old age. And, oh God, that damned DX-7 electric piano from the 80s.
Hey Jack, Fab’ 🎹🎶 playing as usual, but it’s unfortunate you hadn’t realized & omitted in this demo that it does actually have auto-percussion/drum accompaniments! But this does not happen when selecting a Rhythm groove pattern by then just playing the keys, or touching the screen. These auto-drum accompaniments play when once the rhythm button is selected, and it does auto plays the variations of each drum accompaniment “by pressing any of 8 lit PAD buttons.” 👍. 😁🎹🎶
Mi estimado Andertons, me encantan tus reseñas sobre los teclados, me quedo siempre fascinado con todo lo que haces y la forma como sacas lo mejor con cada interpretación que realizas. Un consejo de tu parte me ayudaría mucho, tengo un korg kross 2, pero ando pensando cambiarlo por un Korg Krome EX o este nuevo Roland Juno D6, utilizo siempre sonidos de pianos, e. pianos, organos y strings y suelo utilizar las bases ritmicas de estos teclados para acompañarme en mis interpretaciones. Me aconsejas que me quede con el Korg Kross 2 o que haga el cambio a los teclados que te mencione, estare muy agradecido por tu pronta respuesta y que Dios siga bendiciendo el gran trabajo que haces, como te dije líneas arriba me agrada mucho lo que haces... Saludos desde Huancabamba - Perú.
Seems like a really nice synth for the money! I get the impression the velocity sensitivity is a little unpredictable. I have too many keyboards already, but I'm tempted to order one 😅
It's great that the key action is better. I have the Juno DS-61 and the action is terrible. Has the user interface changed? I'm not keen on the DS-61 user interface...but I am a Nord man so I guess I am used to that.
I have a Juno DS88 and want to replace it. Was looking at the MODX+ but then this new model came out. My complaints with the Juno DS is the piano doesn’t sustain and sounds fake. But I love the piano on the GO:KEYS. I noticed the Juno D patch names are the same as the old DS. Could you do a side-by-side comparison between patches on the DS vs the D for us DS owners?
@@waynesolum4877 TYPO ..SORRY..THE BUILD(CASE/HARDWARE) IS BETTER ON THE JUNO D THAN THE GO KEYS.. NO RIGHT OR WRONG ,,JUST AN OPINION BASED ON EXPERIENCE. :)
MODX has way better sounds. Yamaha GDX-670 is a cheaper alternative, but is very heavy. It is not for gigging. Yamaha CK is similar to Juno. I have both MODX 7+ and GDX-670. I like sounds on both. Drumkits are also much better on MODX and DGX. There is a Turkish kit, for example, with darbuka, bendir, davul, etc.
I agree.. was considering it in the past.. but I'm not gigging..I got the gospel musicians ex5 clone and using it.. but still looking at the cheaper older mx range of keyboards that are still available in several high street stores here.🙏
I think it’s pretty hard to tell from TH-cam, but it’s a good demo! I have the DS 61 and the FA 07 I’m hoping that the D 61 is as good as the FA sounds
I also have an FA06 and just tried the JUNO D and it didnt impress me. Demos online are great but get in front of it and its very toy like...A few good EP sounds but thats about it
@@Jason75913 I really love the sound of the FAO seven the DS 61 does not inspire me. I’m really just a bass player and sometimes I play keys in the band you know for intros or whatever and I thought if I could win it down to just one Keyboard I mean, I would think that the June 6 has enough for what little Keyboard plan I do right, but you’re right that F07 is great
Fantastic instrument. I could definitely use JUPITER-D series in all metal enclosure and premium keybeds. My choice would be the JUPITER-D 76-key, sort of like the excellent JUPITER-80.
Jupiter-80 was succeeded by the JD-XA, and JD-XA by the Jupiter-X and Juno-X. FA-08 also gets you the SuperNatural engine and sounds of the Jupiter-80.
@Jason75913 As far as I am aware, the JD-XA is still available. To me, personally, the JD-XA belongs more in line with the JP-8000 and System-8. The mini-key 4-octave form factor is not in line with full size keyboards. The JD-XA was a major downgrade from the JUPITER-80, just like the JP-8000 was a major downgrade from the JD-800. Sound-wise, all Roland synthesizers sound great, so that's mostly an irrelevant factor here, as opposed to the overall physical form factor, which is a major factor playing here when it comes to purchase decisions. I already have an 88-note weighted keys keyboard for most of my playing/practice thing. As a second keyboard, a 76-key Roland JUNO-D seems like a natural choice to me. Although I'd probably be better off with something like Hammonds SK Pro. I think stage keyboards very often make more sense than synthesizers. I mean twiddling the filter cutoff/resonance knob is far less inspiring than actually digging into keyboard playing itself. Nord Electro and Yamaha YC-series are also nice contenders, with rather great keyboard feel and nice built quality. Anyway, it's great to have so many choices. Electronic keyboard selections are really good these days. And aside from the front panel overlay, the JUNO-D is rather nice. Sounds fantastic, like all ZEN-Core keyboards.
@@dvamateur JD-Xi was the one with the mini keys, not JD-XA. Both inherited Jupiter-80's Supernatural engine, but far less of the acoustic sounds. I thought JD-XA was discontinued, but apparently not (it shouldn't be much longer before it is, I bet). Its keybed also sucks: the aftertouch is way too stiff. Jupiter-80 was still in production for a few years before JD-XA was introduced, so it's not like we're talking one thing being discontinued before the next. JD-Xi is far worse in keys, unfortunately, pretty much one of the worst from Roland to date. JD-800 is a regular ROMpler, JP-8000 is pure VA. However, JD-800's successor, as far as I know, was JD-990. Later the JV and XV series. JP-8000 was one of the earliest pure VAs. The last one has been System-8 and the ACB-based Boutiques and now the little Volca-like J-6. But Roland wants to always have some kind of flagship ROMpler with a different focus from their flagship workstations, hence Jupiter-80, JD-XA, and now Jupiter-X.
@@Jason75913 Well, I tried out both the JD-XA and System-8, they are not far from the mini keys on Yamaha KX5 remote MIDI controller. That's not to say that these type of keys are any bad, they are pretty good actually. In fact, I think if the JUPITER-Xm had the keybed of the JD-XA with aftertouch and all, JUPITER-Xm would be a fantastic mini synthesizer. However, going down to the size of something like the JD-Xi is a bit too little, but hey, Yamaha did the same thing with DX-100 back in 1984 or so, and nobody complained. As far as term "r*mpler" goes, it is mostly used as a derogatory term. To me, personally, I don't think sample playback is anything bad. I don't even see any difference between a sawthooth wave being read out from memory address and a sawthooth wave, as they say, "generated with software". They are both going to sound exactly the same. Sure, some people consider the ability of an oscillator to have variable pulse useful, although to me, the slight detuning of two sample playback oscillators provides much better sound. That's why I consider both the JD-800 as much of a valid synthesizer, as the M1. They both have enough of editing parameters, to provide a wealth of sonic possibilities. I was honestly baffled by the Clavia Nord Lead back in 1995. The original one was selling for $2,200 with a 4-octave keyboard, no aftertouch, and only 4-voices of polyphony, when you could have a JV-series Roland with 32 or 64 voices of polyphony for less than that. But I guess it was a trend, with the ability of doing harmonic sweeps with the cutoff and resonance knobs that people wanted, so this is where the market went. To me the move in the right direction was the D-70, JV-90, and the JUPITER-80. Extending the keybed range to 76 keys is a very desirable feature to me. I think Korg initiated that trend with the T2 and Yamaha with their rather amazing SY99. So, I applaud Roland for having this option in the JUNO-D line. I tried out the JUNO-D 61-keys in the store, and aside from the vinyl sticker overlay on front panel, I think that the JUNO-D is absolutely excellent as a synthesizer. They keybed feel is very good. I think that if I see the JUNO-D 76-key version, I'll probably buy it.
@Jason75913 Yeah, this whole "virtual analog" thing was a brilliant marketing move used in the Clavia Nord Lead back in 1995. We're stuck with it to this day. To me, personally, there is no difference if a synthesizer waveform is generated algorithically in software or read from memory address. It's all software eventually running through an analog component called D/A converter which makes a discrete set of numbers into an analog waveform we can hear.
Bought it - Returned it. Sequencer will only record steps without the ability to append them; Not to mention I had to study at MIT for 12 years in order to find my way out of the menu- Spent every minute tweaking piano sounds and when I pulled out every hair on my head I went and played my old crappy piano.
The Roland cloud thing is kind of useless though... because of the way licensing works. It kind of inhibits this idea you can share sounds between your instruments. Also with no actual instrument integration with the web service. It is confusing and a pain to use. The subscription also does not include hardware licenses for the Juno d.
Zenology Pro is $230 without subscription and I think it has the same sounds as Juno D. I tried Zenology recently, but didn't like its sounds. Zenology is a regular VST. You can use it with any MIDI controller.
@@FirstLast-nr6gf Meanwhile Juno-D is a standalone MIDI controller with built-in computer running Zenology Pro and its own soundcard to boot. Guess which setup is preferred by stage performers and DAWless jammers?
I see the new Juno - D6 as an aux board. The Juno D 76/88 are bit too pricey with the Fantom 0 series still available. BUT -- I would use this was an aux or key bass synth for sure.
I’m a little confused about how you could add additional tones to this Juno-D. Could you explain how that works? Also, can you store tweaked tones in memory via user sound banks? Thanks!
yes, there are 128 slots for tweaked sounds, a tiny bit of memory for user samples, and you get full access to every parameter of any tone down to the oscillator level, making the Juno-D killer for sound design
Look up Analog Lab and see if you want to be more hands on with you sounds/playlists or if you want more of that done for you out of the box. Astrolab has quite a bit more but is more than twice the price
@@everybodyhasoul5438 Great advice. There is even a free version to check-out. I have both Omnisphere and Arturia and I use Omnisphere more, but its also a matter of taste. When using software you also need a powerfull device. But when you have you can do a lot more. I use a GPD gaming and its great for live usage.
Подумал было сперва, что хорошо бы купить такой, но я только что продал Juno DS, и по большому счёту не виду разницу в звучании, но я всё же надеюсь, что Roland совершит чудо, и сделает наконец современную аранжировочную станцию. Последнее,что они сделали - Е-А7 у меня есть. Самый простой вопрос - почему бы не сделать из двух этих инструментов один??? И не забыть при этом хорошую оперативную память, например на 4 или 8 Гб?
@Jason75913 Juno DS 88 я пользовался для соло. А для аранжировки у меня есть другие инструменты. Просто у Juno великолепное звучание, очень отличающее его от Korg и Yamaha, и для составления аранжировки он был бы с этими тембрами вне всякой конкуренции. Осталось бы такому инструменту добавить возможность расширения оперативной памяти внешним носителем, составление тембров со слоями, как на Fantom, и самое главное - добавить педаль на функцию Cutoff - и это всё, чтобы навсегда войти в историю аранжировок одним инструментом.
@@lezginUral Controlling the cutoff with a pedal is configured in the mod matrix of each patch you want to do that with. The same goes for every Roland keyboard that isn't JD-Xi, JD-XA, Jupiter-80, and Jupiter-50. Juno-DS' sound design is almost there with the Fantom. The Juno is just missing the virtual analogue oscillators of the Fantom and other Zen-Core products, so it cannot do pulse-width modulation, for example. Zen-Core envelopes are more modern. The mod matrices are the same, even the sample ROMs are the same. The Juno has the necessary single-cycle waveforms needed to make up for the lack of VA oscillators, same as Korg Krome or Yamaha MODX. Every Juno workstation is 4 layers per patch. Juno-DS and the old 2004 Juno-D can stack more layers of patches than the new 2024 Juno-D.
@@Jason75913 К сожалению мне пришлось продать свой Juno DS88, потому что был куплен Roland Fantom G8 со всеми картами, а стойка для клавиш у меня в два яруса. Очень сожалею, что не семплировал с Juno напрямую все го тембры на Fantom G8. По качеству звучания Fantom G8 отстаёт от Juno DS - это я знаю совершенно точно. И сейчас подумываю о возможности компенсации такой потери. Возможно придётся либо как-то искать более яркие тембры для G8, либо решать вопрос через соединение с Roland Integra 7. Последнее возможно окажется не очень удобным. А Roland Fantom G8 - инструмент с фантастическими возможностями и очень скромными и неактуальными тембрами, хотя и снабжён самой лучшей клавиатурой, какая только возможна. Прошу высказать своё мнение.
I have to say this is a really good demo... Jack Slaying as ever... Sorry Mr Roland demo Guy in the previous video, but this run through is better than yours....I can see & hear that many of the age old Supernatural & other sounds have remained, but on the whole this is a good bit of kit IMO...
The Fantom is the better deal, and it gets the EXZ expansions for free that the Juno and other products require payments to own and use. Or both: Fantom for the arrangement and the Juno for soloing over it. Fantom can alos record audio, integrate with Ableton, and process and/or record external audio.
Why they gave this instrument the exact same name as the older model from back in the days (2005?) without even adding at least a "MK II" or something is totally beyond me. That will cause a lot of confusion on the second-hand market in a couple of years for sure. On their homepage Roland calls them Juno-D6, -D7, -D8 (with the number refering to the amount of octaves of the keybed).
@@sauermusicDE When I first saw videos of this new model, I thought it was a retro review. 😛 There's a whole alphabet Roland is not making good use of -- and they are no strangers to the Greek alphabet either, so even more letters they could use.
In terms of active studio monitor speakers there are quite a few affordable solutions out there from Alesis (Elevate-series), Mackie (CR-series), Presonus (Eris-series), M-Audio (BX-series) etc. and in the lower budget category they are pretty much all the same. You cannot go wrong with ANY of these. Some of them are even available with additional Bluetooth (if you want to use them with your smartphone or tablet computer as well). You could even use active speakers for personal computers (from Edifier etc.), but they often do NOT have 6,3 mm input jacks. So you need an adapter cable like - for example - a Cordial CFY 3 WPP.
Presonus Eris are trash. But they are popular. People don't care that much, so whatever is fine indeed. Beats headphones are also trash, but popular regardless. Best bang for the buck are Edifier speakers like the MR4 and I forgot what other model. Yamaha HS5 is the best way to go if budget and oppotunity permit.
Roland doesn't make keybeds comparable to fatar TP9. It would be nice if they did. I have a Novation Ultranova with TP9 keybed, it would be my favorite if it was at least 61 keys.
This is a stage keyboard. No studio support where it gets used. Musicians are the cruelest critics, though, as audience members would likely not notice much of a difference between some fancy Nord versus this Juno-D, unless the speaker system isn't trash.
Its not clearified how much preset we can make user or how much tones on scene we can modify n save + how to get new tone from roland cloud library if need...main imortant thing you people never shows the most demanded tones of world categary like sitar/santur/sahenai/flute etc tones..bcoz of that only we indians always trust on roland..
And preferably, should be a regular full-range speaker of any kind, not any amp, unless you have no other choice. Even if you just play bass on the keyboard, these workstations have a guitar amp simulator effect you can use on any preset for that kind of sound (I do tend to for the bass I play on left hand).
@@mudi2000a Less so than my MC-101 by the looks of things! But this is surely marketed towards gigging musicians, it's not like you're building up arrangements or creating new sounds on this thing. I imagine this will get a lot of the same undue criticism as the Astrolab (don't get me wrong, I think there's plenty of valid criticism to be thrown at that), where it's being criticised for its use as part of a music producer's tool, when it's prime use case is very much as a preset player.

I think Korg initiated that trend with the T2 and Yamaha with their rather amazing SY99. So, I applaud Roland for having this option in the JUNO-D line. I tried out the JUNO-D 61-keys in the store, and aside from the vinyl sticker overlay on front panel, I think that the JUNO-D is absolutely excellent as a synthesizer. They keybed feel is very good. I think that if I see the JUNO-D 76-key version, I'll probably buy it.
@Jason75913 Yeah, this whole "virtual analog" thing was a brilliant marketing move used in the Clavia Nord Lead back in 1995. We're stuck with it to this day. To me, personally, there is no difference if a synthesizer waveform is generated algorithically in software or read from memory address. It's all software eventually running through an analog component called D/A converter which makes a discrete set of numbers into an analog waveform we can hear.
Cloud guitar ❤
Very entertaining
Coming to India very soon
sounds awesome. how much does this way? and how much is it canadian?
Long and McQuade is $1,199.99. The unit weighs 12 lb 13 oz. Very light.
Bought it -
Returned it.
Sequencer will only record steps without the ability to append them;
Not to mention I had to study at MIT for 12 years in order to find my way out of the menu-
Spent every minute tweaking piano sounds and when I pulled out every hair on my head I went and played my old crappy piano.
The Roland cloud thing is kind of useless though... because of the way licensing works. It kind of inhibits this idea you can share sounds between your instruments. Also with no actual instrument integration with the web service. It is confusing and a pain to use. The subscription also does not include hardware licenses for the Juno d.
It’s really not…. Just you
Zenology Pro is $230 without subscription and I think it has the same sounds as Juno D. I tried Zenology recently, but didn't like its sounds. Zenology is a regular VST. You can use it with any MIDI controller.
@@FirstLast-nr6gf Meanwhile Juno-D is a standalone MIDI controller with built-in computer running Zenology Pro and its own soundcard to boot. Guess which setup is preferred by stage performers and DAWless jammers?
I see the new Juno - D6 as an aux board. The Juno D 76/88 are bit too pricey with the Fantom 0 series still available. BUT -- I would use this was an aux or key bass synth for sure.
No weighted keys though. Urgh :)
How many buttons for memory registration
compare Juno DS please 🙌🏼
Read through comments sections of Juno-D videos posted by major retailers.
Still the same guitars from the 90’s. I don’t understand why Roland doesn’t put the supernatural stuff on the keyboards.
I OWNED THE OLDER JUNO-DI VERSION FROM CIRC.2010... MUCH BETTER SOUND ENGING.. (FANTOM) :)
Sounds so thin the new one.
Quando chegara no Brasil?
Is there any tone cutting problem on memory registration please in detail sir
That boreal pad instantly went to van hagar
Melt Piano...Piano thru a milky chocolate drink and blanket
Jack you're an amazing player, but please don't play guitar patches like playing piano. Just IMHO. Keep up the great work!
Wait …. Better key action than the 0 series? As in the Fantom 06?
Same keybed as on the FANTOM-0. Improved over JUNO-DS series.
6:54 smooth lips. On Behringers that patch was called crusty lips
I think a more satisfying sound… a more organic sound would be achieved if you MIDI it up and layered it with an analog synth of your choice.
I’m a little confused about how you could add additional tones to this Juno-D. Could you explain how that works? Also, can you store tweaked tones in memory via user sound banks? Thanks!
yes, there are 128 slots for tweaked sounds, a tiny bit of memory for user samples, and you get full access to every parameter of any tone down to the oscillator level, making the Juno-D killer for sound design
How much memory for use sample in juno d6?@@Jason75913
I got my rev 2 desktop from you guys cs told me my juno ds keybed be better than rev 2 keys, wish i hadn’t listened and had got the kbd version rev 2
This or Arturia Astrolab for my first good stage keyboard?
Depends on your need, what kind of sounds do you use mostly? And the genre generally?
Look up Analog Lab and see if you want to be more hands on with you sounds/playlists or if you want more of that done for you out of the box. Astrolab has quite a bit more but is more than twice the price
@@everybodyhasoul5438 Great advice. There is even a free version to check-out. I have both Omnisphere and Arturia and I use Omnisphere more, but its also a matter of taste. When using software you also need a powerfull device. But when you have you can do a lot more. I use a GPD gaming and its great for live usage.
Arturia
is there any useful Mellotron Sound on there?
Подумал было сперва, что хорошо бы купить такой, но я только что продал Juno DS, и по большому счёту не виду разницу в звучании, но я всё же надеюсь, что Roland совершит чудо, и сделает наконец современную аранжировочную станцию. Последнее,что они сделали - Е-А7 у меня есть. Самый простой вопрос - почему бы не сделать из двух этих инструментов один??? И не забыть при этом хорошую оперативную память, например на 4 или 8 Гб?
Depending on how you use your Juno-DS, selling it off was a mistake.
@Jason75913 Juno DS 88 я пользовался для соло. А для аранжировки у меня есть другие инструменты. Просто у Juno великолепное звучание, очень отличающее его от Korg и Yamaha, и для составления аранжировки он был бы с этими тембрами вне всякой конкуренции. Осталось бы такому инструменту добавить возможность расширения оперативной памяти внешним носителем, составление тембров со слоями, как на Fantom, и самое главное - добавить педаль на функцию Cutoff - и это всё, чтобы навсегда войти в историю аранжировок одним инструментом.
@@lezginUral Controlling the cutoff with a pedal is configured in the mod matrix of each patch you want to do that with. The same goes for every Roland keyboard that isn't JD-Xi, JD-XA, Jupiter-80, and Jupiter-50.
Juno-DS' sound design is almost there with the Fantom. The Juno is just missing the virtual analogue oscillators of the Fantom and other Zen-Core products, so it cannot do pulse-width modulation, for example. Zen-Core envelopes are more modern. The mod matrices are the same, even the sample ROMs are the same. The Juno has the necessary single-cycle waveforms needed to make up for the lack of VA oscillators, same as Korg Krome or Yamaha MODX.
Every Juno workstation is 4 layers per patch. Juno-DS and the old 2004 Juno-D can stack more layers of patches than the new 2024 Juno-D.
@@Jason75913
К сожалению мне пришлось продать свой Juno DS88, потому что был куплен Roland Fantom G8 со всеми картами, а стойка для клавиш у меня в два яруса. Очень сожалею, что не семплировал с Juno напрямую все го тембры на Fantom G8. По качеству звучания Fantom G8 отстаёт от Juno DS - это я знаю совершенно точно. И сейчас подумываю о возможности компенсации такой потери. Возможно придётся либо как-то искать более яркие тембры для G8, либо решать вопрос через соединение с Roland Integra 7. Последнее возможно окажется не очень удобным. А Roland Fantom G8 - инструмент с фантастическими возможностями и очень скромными и неактуальными тембрами, хотя и снабжён самой лучшей клавиатурой, какая только возможна. Прошу высказать своё мнение.
Ducks going quackers at Andertons and tons of fun
I have to say this is a really good demo... Jack Slaying as ever... Sorry Mr Roland demo Guy in the previous video, but this run through is better than yours....I can see & hear that many of the age old Supernatural & other sounds have remained, but on the whole this is a good bit of kit IMO...
Im still debating what to get. New Juno D6 or Fantom 06 :(
The Fantom is the better deal, and it gets the EXZ expansions for free that the Juno and other products require payments to own and use. Or both: Fantom for the arrangement and the Juno for soloing over it. Fantom can alos record audio, integrate with Ableton, and process and/or record external audio.
I'm in same situation
1:51 Ibiza 😅😅
That ain't Juno-D! I see no d-beam! 😀
Why they gave this instrument the exact same name as the older model from back in the days (2005?) without even adding at least a "MK II" or something is totally beyond me. That will cause a lot of confusion on the second-hand market in a couple of years for sure. On their homepage Roland calls them Juno-D6, -D7, -D8 (with the number refering to the amount of octaves of the keybed).
@@sauermusicDE When I first saw videos of this new model, I thought it was a retro review. 😛 There's a whole alphabet Roland is not making good use of -- and they are no strangers to the Greek alphabet either, so even more letters they could use.
@@sauermusicDENot the first time they do it, their current flagship is Fantom, which was the same name as their flagship 20 hears ago.
Does it respond to channel or polyphonic aftertouch over midi?
Channel aftertouch only
What cables are you using? Thanks
Ernie Ball Flex Cables
@@OzPwl thank you
can i play oriental songs on Roland Juno D?
Thank you
What speakers should I pick for it to just play at home?
In terms of active studio monitor speakers there are quite a few affordable solutions out there from Alesis (Elevate-series), Mackie (CR-series), Presonus (Eris-series), M-Audio (BX-series) etc. and in the lower budget category they are pretty much all the same. You cannot go wrong with ANY of these. Some of them are even available with additional Bluetooth (if you want to use them with your smartphone or tablet computer as well).
You could even use active speakers for personal computers (from Edifier etc.), but they often do NOT have 6,3 mm input jacks. So you need an adapter cable like - for example - a Cordial CFY 3 WPP.
Presonus Eris are trash. But they are popular.
People don't care that much, so whatever is fine indeed.
Beats headphones are also trash, but popular regardless.
Best bang for the buck are Edifier speakers like the MR4 and I forgot what other model.
Yamaha HS5 is the best way to go if budget and oppotunity permit.
Can’t go wrong with Yamaha HS.
18:25 Should've been the thumbnail of the video.
Dear tell us the sample memory it has and will it support multisampling in future?? That's what I am looking for
Does it sample or just load samples?
@@ReggieBishop this has sampling capability but one sample can spread across the keys I'm wondering about its sampling memory
How much user sample memory?
Tone cutting problem
Only through registration sets, not presets. Majority of Rolands have the same problem, thanks to a little bit underpower processor...
Oz 😂❤
how does the D6-D7 keybed compair with the fatar tp9/10 like the numacompact2x/se and what does the D8 keybed compair to???
Roland doesn't make keybeds comparable to fatar TP9. It would be nice if they did. I have a Novation Ultranova with TP9 keybed, it would be my favorite if it was at least 61 keys.
Hi! how many performances can I save in the keyboard memory?!??
128
@@Jason75913 thank you
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I had a Roland Juno-D from 2006, is this a new version? Kinda confused that they used the same name
yes this is the 4th generation of the Juno D. this one has the Zencore sound engine so it's compatible with Roland cloud.
Good luck with the Polyphony dropping notes every time you. Still a toy
This keyboard looks amazing Play Phil Collins Everyday
Jack on fire as usual, but this keyboard is just a bit middle-of-the-road.
You want the mountain top for $900 ? Cut it out.
In a pro studio you can make anything sound good. Even a good home studio. Whats the problem.
Shouldn’t have to have a studio to make a keyboard sound good😂
This is a stage keyboard. No studio support where it gets used. Musicians are the cruelest critics, though, as audience members would likely not notice much of a difference between some fancy Nord versus this Juno-D, unless the speaker system isn't trash.
Get to the dang Vocoder Jack!
How much polyphonic voices? 128?
Up to 256
The way that companies such as Roland tend to make their products sell is, by uptdates. Something I’m not comfortable at all.
Awesome keyboard at that price but that grand piano is not it.
My Yamaha home keyboard has a better piano than that
People commenting on the sounds listening from an app is just laughable. Yeah I’ve been to the Grand Canyon. I saw it on a TH-cam video 😂
Weird how nobody comments about it on any other keyboard though. Really gets the noggin joggin.
Oh yes it will 🎶 lololo
lofi Grave Organ? grooooooov....😂
i see 16 page of 30 sound aprox. 500 sons where is the 3000 sounds?
💙💛
Hugh Heftner 😂
Rolland is great for there jazz scat, I have it on my roland ax synth keytar
Is it true the new Juno is only 8 part multitimbral even when used with a DAW for midi recording?
Probably because these previous keyboards never had enough polyphony for those extra 8 tracks to be of much use.
@@fleetadmiralsidiqi1941 My old Roland Juno-Di was 16 part multitimbral with 128 note polyphony. It even had a software editor.
And - by the way - you play your ass off!!!
That grand piano did not sound good… is that just me?
It was a little bright for me
It sounded mid, not bad, not particularly good, but very usable, good piano for live music
Just you…
Sounds very good in person. I have the D6. Maybe your speakers are bad.
Yep awful
Not crazy about the brass sounds.
Best use a Spitfire or Heavyocity sample library for that instead.
Its not clearified how much preset we can make user or how much tones on scene we can modify n save + how to get new tone from roland cloud library if need...main imortant thing you people never shows the most demanded tones of world categary like sitar/santur/sahenai/flute etc tones..bcoz of that only we indians always trust on roland..
128 multis, 128 user tones, World category should be the same or more than XPS-30, friend, most sounds are brought over from FA and XPS-30.
Why the acoustic pianos sounds so thin & plastic?
I had a juno d.....back in 2008
Les sons roland. Ça a mal vieilli. Le son n'a aucune chaleur. Peut être les convertisseurs ?
I bought an xp 80 when it first came out......sold it after a month
It’s a literal pos rubbish Roland if it’s Roland better be pre95 if u want anything quality
Same tones from 20 years ago.
same samples from XP50 and what not in the '90s
does it have thw what the.... hoover patch off the original junos
It's only as good as the amp you're putting it through
And preferably, should be a regular full-range speaker of any kind, not any amp, unless you have no other choice. Even if you just play bass on the keyboard, these workstations have a guitar amp simulator effect you can use on any preset for that kind of sound (I do tend to for the bass I play on left hand).
Is this considered a synth?
I'd say so, you do get access to the ZenCore engine for editing sounds. Not sure if you can create your own from scratch on it
@@_mickmccarthyyou can but it’s all menu diving.
@@mudi2000ahard pass
By all means. It's a very capable synthesizer with variable waveform angles, etc. Same as Zenology Pro.
@@mudi2000a Less so than my MC-101 by the looks of things!
But this is surely marketed towards gigging musicians, it's not like you're building up arrangements or creating new sounds on this thing.
I imagine this will get a lot of the same undue criticism as the Astrolab (don't get me wrong, I think there's plenty of valid criticism to be thrown at that), where it's being criticised for its use as part of a music producer's tool, when it's prime use case is very much as a preset player.
