You sold me,squeak!! I just ordered one! Man,this machine has everything! I have had alot of synths over the years and I think this packs alot of bang for the buck! Nice teaching and demos!
Thanks :) It's an amazing sounding keyboard. For the price it's a big winner IMO. Plus the software editor really brings it all together for recording and detailed editing of patches/performances.
You can have up to 4 ocs's per patch and you can map each of those to their own zone on the keybed. You have a dedicated SPLIT patch mode.., but using the software you can create your own patches using all 4 ocs's and mapping those individually.
@@Toshio13337 I still have it 5 years later! have not been using it but my new place should have a place to set up a studio so soon :) Honestly its a pretty decent keyboard. I like the vocoder patches. Have not tried making my own patches yet.
For those, who are wondering how to get full access to the 4 oscillators: You can download Juno-Di Editor from official Roland website for free and after installing it on your computer you can connect the synthesiser to the editor and manipulate the oscillators. You can just fully edit the preset sounds or make your own patches for your synth. The editor also allows you to categorise your sounds or even add and modify the effects in depth. The synth can be connected to the computer in two ways: you can use standard USB cable plugged into rear port or you can use USB to MIDI cable with the two MIDI connectors also located on the back of the instrument. I have this synth and for creating custom sounds it's a win. It's definitely worth buying it.
@@jamesbondaygee It means the synthesizer has four waveform generators, that have access to something over 1000 built-in samples and those can be used for creating your own sound patches. And because each generator can have different sound assigned to it, it gives you the ability to create complex sounds in the synth itself.
Thanks for the upload. I've had this synth for a week now and kept thinking there had to be reason why this 128 voice polyphony synth was so limited. Why would Roland put 128 voice polyphony on this keyboard if it didn't have a decent patching and other editing features that other 128 polyphony keyboards have? I finally installed the computer drivers and loaded the software and all came to light. I was looking at the editing software has a bunch of features that makes it powerhouse of a machine
Sounds like a pretty powerful synth engine hidden in there, bizarre that they haven't made this clear. Reminds me of some of the things I can do with my beaten up old SY-35, lots of vectoring, velocity and split switching, but only with 2xFM and 2xSamples. Pretty cool though!
@troydaby Once you get that editor up and running you'll see a whole new side to your Juno-Di. It'll seem like you got a new keyboard when you see how many parameters are available via the software.
@troydaby That's normal operation for this synth. It wasn't until recently that Roland introduced (seamless patch switching). What you'll need to do is go into the software editor and activate the "Patch Remain" feature. The only problem with this is you're locking yourself to ONE MFX. What causes the skip in normal patch mode is that the the MFX's also change when changing patches. This causes the brief pause in sound. Using patch remain locks into one MFX so you can avoid this.
Hi.. (excuse me for my english) . I want to buy this synth.. and i have 2 question?.. is better than Korg x50?... this synth has different part to connect to a midi controller and play differents sounds with each one?.. thanks
One problem I still have is that patch remain doesn't work when I switch favourites with my pedal. It kinda ruined one of my videos playing a song since the Di was too slow at loading the patches.
Sounds is a very subjective issue. The X50 (IMO) has some great synth patches.., and Korg has always done a great job with orchestral patches too. The Di has both USB midi and standard midi I/O jacks.
@Mazemania Hi.., I'm from the USA. The strings aren't nearly as nice as Korgs, BUT they are a HUGE improvement over the previous Juno-D/Le models. MAJOR IMPROVEMENT ;-)
@MajorCovert That's what I keep telling people. It's alarming to know the number of Di owners who haven't even bothered to download the Editor program yet. It opens up an entirely new side of the Di.
I'm a little shocked too. I can't understand why Roland wouldn't put that info at the front! What I showed in thid vid is HUGE for the Di. If consumers knew up front that the Di's synth engines structure is the same as the Juno-G/Stage.., it would without a doubt increase sales.
Hi SquekD how do you access these 4 different oscilators? I just got it in today (bought it today) and I didn't realize this! That's amazing and would love to learn this.
hello, i got a question,..this keyboard has drums kit?..if not, can i upload sounds to the keyboard using some software, so i can upload drums, or another one?.thanks, ;D
@squeakD tnx for those info dude... im getting into my new keybord... heheh but i do have another problem... my juno di is sometimes out of new, every time it was newly tunred on... y is this so? sometimes it transpose 1 whole step down... huhuhu help me
i have my juno di... newly bought by my dad... my problem is... wen im in my gig.. playing string for my intro den imediately change my patch into piano... the string cuts his sound imediately when i press the piano category... even i step on my hold pedal... huhuhu how is this??? plz help me...
@squeakD can you help me im having trouble with my juno Di i just bought well i wanna ask if how to edit patch and spliting notes not two but more than 2? please help me :) thx
I think the biggest thing is that people are majorly confusing the Di's patch editing abilities with the old Juno-D. The Di by itself has less onboard patch editing than the previous model. However, the software editor is literally a virtual key that unlocks full patch editing. IMO too many people base their opinions on the synth alone who have no idea what all it offers when combined with the editor program.
Velocity Fading wasn't the best choice of words to use when showing this though. I do know what key follow is too :) Prior to posting this vid I was playing with the editor and on some patches was adjusting the upper and lower fade levels for individual osc's within the velocity settings. I mispoke on the term.., but I still stand by what I said that even though the Di had certain parameters present within the patch.., it didn't mean you could edit them.
I dont understand what this video explains could you explain for a noob please. Also is there quick enough access to mp3 files that i could use that as a sampler for some cellos and speech live? with the favourites does that combine your favourite sounds as well as other presets like arpeggiator styles or chord styles? Finally is their distortion available on the mic as well as the drum kits (i want to do some trip hop style stuff)
Yes. Press Shift and Rhythm buttons at the same time, getting you into Patch Edit Mode. Then press the Right Arrow key 5 times, and you will see a screen where you set the 2 volumes. :)
My only complaint with the di is that when it is used as a slave, it will totally ignore the transpose. You have to transpose the master keyboard. The fantom x series didn't have this problem.
I just read that there are two ways: one poster said that if you are using the Favorites feature, they will not cut off. Also there is a System parameter for not cutting the sound off when you change Patches. But the effect will change, so that might be apparent.
Yes, there is no "velocity fading" thing because that would mean that the velocity has INFLUENCE on how the sound fades. It does NOT, as you can see while he plays the keys. So it's indeed simple key follow (which you couldn't edit on the old Juno-D). I wonder why your statement gets so much thumbs down here.
I'm not confused in the slightest! Have you ever owned the Juno-D or any synth related to the Juno-D's set up..? The Juno-D was less than HALF the synth editing of the Juno-Di. The Juno-D did not allow you to map osc's to zones.., program velocity fading and switch points. There were parameters the Juno-D had PRESET within a patch.., but you COULD NOT edit some of those parameters. The Juno-Di's an excellent example. There's much the synth CAN'T do without the editor program.

i was thinking of possibly buying this but after watching this video i am totally sold on it! tysm for posting!
Thanks much for taking the time to share
yet another informative video from Mr Squeak, cheers my good fellow :)

just picked one up for 100$ and all it was missing was a key and 2 knobs. Didn't realize how good of a deal it was until now.
nice deal man! i got one mint for 250$

How are you wanting to set up the split? To do any indepth editing on splits with multiple osc's you'll need to use the software editor.

Haven't seen them anyhwere for less than $699.
Hello.
How to undo the touch mode?
I have to press the keys really hard to hear the sound loud.
Jeff Fleuridor You can enter the Menu and set the Velocity level to 127, which will actually disable the touch response of the keyboard.
@squeakD
tnx for those info dude... im getting into my new keybord... heheh but i do have another problem... my juno di is sometimes out of new, every time it was newly tunred on... y is this so? sometimes it transpose 1 whole step down... huhuhu help me
How do you play midi files from USB drive. I tried and it sounded like crap. I wish it played midi like its supports to

Hi sir how to solve tone cut off problem patch changing time

Does it have "Patch Remain"? Like the XP series models.

Could you make a tutorial for the editor because i find it quite complicated
would be awesome
i am wondering if how to change the different volumes lf different tones in dual? thanks for the answer
Yes. Press Shift and Rhythm buttons at the same time, getting you into Patch Edit Mode.
Then press the Right Arrow key 5 times, and you will see a screen where you set the 2 volumes. :)
what is virtual link function on juno di?
Do you know if I can switch the patch with a pedal with the Juno Di?
ya its just a midi CC number find the midi cc number in manual or plug it into any computer and get a reading on it
You'll like it :)
oops meant to refer to Juno-D and not Di on that last comment. I'm so used to typing Di now :)
@squeakD yamaha is still best in patch switching haha, but, juno di is a great synth , very lovely.
hi (excuse me for my enlish) i have a problem aaahh i dont know how to split to 4 layer...can you teach me how..
@Larryrice321 Thanks ;-)
you must update ur software, go to roland.com search fo juno Di then download the update patch..
nice one!
hi from germany...
strings sound still cheap.. :/
got this one as well........good for live!
where r u from, sir?!
My only complaint with the di is that when it is used as a slave, it will totally ignore the transpose. You have to transpose the master keyboard. The fantom x series didn't have this problem.
i have updated the software, so... what else should i do for going smooth when changing patch? thx b4...

not 4 oscillators 4 voice layer s
Howw????????

Are you dana4261 ?
sorry but you're a bit confused... every synthesizer have this funtion... it's called key follow...
