The Sounds

Let's face it, when it really comes down to it, the most important feature of any synthesizer is how good it sounds. So we'll start here: the JUNO-Di's top-of-the-line voice engine sounds good. Really good. It's extremely diverse sound bank gives you access to grand and electric pianos, lush strings, beautiful guitars, powerful brass, percussion, and tons of exotic instruments, modern synth sounds, and much more. There's so much there, you'll never find yourself in a musical situation this synth can't handle.

To take things a step further, the JUNO-Di allows you to customize the sounds with it's dedicated "Sound Modify" knobs on the front panel. Instantly cater each sound to your specifications, even while you're playing or use the PC software editor for more advanced editing.

Navigation Made Easy

We know what you're thinking, “with so many fantastic voices onboard, how could I possibly begin to navigate the sea of sound banks?” Fear not, sailor -- the JUNO-Di simplifies the process of finding sounds with dedicated category buttons.

For example, imagine you're on stage as the final notes of the upbeat power-pop number you just finished fade into rock-n'-roll history and you need to cue up a lush grand piano for the soon-to-begin ballad. The crowd stops roaring, your band-mates look at you anxiously, waiting for you to start. What do you do?

Press the "piano" button. Yup, that simple. The JUNO-Di lets you assign your most-used sounds to the Favorite buttons for instant access.

Editing is easy too. If you want to create layers or splits, dedicated buttons and the large LCD make the process fast and friendly. Onboard rhythm patterns can be quickly adjusted on the fly with a dedicated tempo control so you're prepared for every practice and performance.

Juno On The Go

The JUNO-Di is designed to go anywhere your music takes you. It's amazingly lightweight (only 5.2kg) so it's easy to lift and carry to your next gig (no matter how far from the van that stage may be). Is your next gig a street corner? No problem, the JUNO-Di has the abily to run on batteries (Ni-MH AA-size rechargeable batteries) so you can play for up to five hours without plugging in. When used in conjunction with a battery-powered amp such as Roland's famous CUBE Street or MOBILE CUBE, the JUNO-Di can be played and heard anywhere. There's even a "battery-life" indicator on the front panel ensures that you won't lose power unexpectedly.
