My favorite until now, is the GW8. It has all for gigs and live shows. But is old. Now, it seems this beautiful baby JUNO D came as a successful successor. Super nice! and the design looks like GW8. Clean and easy. Thank you for the video!
Hey seeing as you use for Midi I'm curious if the sliders also send Midi CC ? I haven't heard from anyone who has one. Want to use as controller too. Thanks !
@@Eighty8Music I scanned through the user manual and unless I'm reading it wrong it looks like it does send CC, but I've not tested it myself. It has far too few knobs/sliders for me to use as a controller. One of the only negative things I'd say about the Juno D, not enough knobs per function.
@@RottenRotny hey thanks! If you had a computer, DAW setup and you jiggled the slider it would show midi CC or not. I tried to see in the manual but didnt' seem so. If you think about It. thanks !
@@Eighty8Music Is it uncommon for synths to send midi CC? I don't usually use synths as controller so I'm not certain if most of them do that or it's a more rare feature. I have an Arturia keylab I use as a controller. Lots o sliders and knobs to controle VST synths etc.
I watched lots of other reviews on this, way longer vids. and this one here hits all the main points... sounds, abilities, helpful features. Great job...my wallet hates you, but You got a new fan sir
I loved the demo, although I would have liked to hear the organ sounds and the pipe organ sounds. I'm also a lover of the brass and the wind sounds. This keyboard goes well with a Zoom R8 Digital Recorder. Although it's January, it's already on my Christmas list.
Wait, after very recently releasing a super new super digital Juno with the panel based on the original 80s one… Now they’re releasing a new new Juno with the panel based on the 00s ones? That’s like, a double ouroboros, but I’m kinda here for it…
@@patrickfitzgerald2861 haha yeah, I recently went to a Roland and Yamaha dealer to finally compare the new Juno and Jupiter knobs and sliders to my Super 6. I was shocked at how many nearly-identical units with slightly different panels Roland had churned out, all lined-up on the wall together. I knew about, only half of them! Identical keybeds, identical benders, identical backlit buttons in two sizes. They’re definitely doing the “platform” thing like automakers do - putting a different front panel on the same chassis. I suppose Korg has been doing that as well, now they have 5 units with the exact same case. Yamaha’s pure synths were a little more differentiated, but their stage pianos, stage organs, arranger keyboards etc were clearly built on the same structure as well. Which makes economic sense, but it’s kinda funny to see them all next to each other with sometimes VERY different price tags when they all have the same screen, drawbars, etc. Not to mention the Yamaha, Roland, and Arturia 2i2o interfaces all looked identical, just with different colour plastics. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re all sourced from the same factory as Focusrite and everyone, they just shoving the same guts into slightly different cases. I _knew_ a lot of this utility stuff was fairly fungible, just like generic guitar tuners, but seeing it in person _really drove that into me_ in a way that online photos hadn’t.
It's very solid. Up to the quality of the classic late 90s early 2000s Roland stuff. I had an XP-30 before the Juno D and I found the keys on that to be some of the best synth style keys I'd ever played. The Juno D6 felt very very similar (though I did want the weighted piano keys so I got the D8, and those keys are wonderful).
Knowing Roland, I would say yes. They have a website, where you can always download free extra style and sounds. When I bought the GW7 many years ago, I went to their site and downloaded the oriental and extra Latin styles. I was pleased I could play Arabian music, Indian styles like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and the Bangra styles, but I could also play Brazilian Lambada and Brega, together with Reggaeton etc.
just bought one from u guys! can I hook up an MPE expressive midi controller keyboard to it, so I can use slidey keys to change fx as I play, do u think?
@@fahimdawer This is an entry-level 'board, you're not getting those features here anytime this decade or the next, just like in all the past ones, unfortunately. Juno-DS series does multi-sampling. For the arps you want, Fantom-0 or FA series. Or just use a computer.
I wonder how many of you people actually need a multisample waveform editor? Or is this just another stupid complaint? Because I'm 100% sure you can't make better multisamples than what Roland already does. Why bother with that tedious task when you already have thousands of multisample sounds?!
Juno-D is the direct replacement for the ageing Juno-DS, same basic concept, but new sound engine (same as the flagship Fantom), big colour screen, USB audio, step sequencing, roland cloud compatibility - it's a big update!
@@Acrimonious_Snake also adjustable quantization of the phrase sequencer and 16-part "Scenes" as opposed to the 8-part "Scenes" of the Juno-D, and I read some complaints about layering limitations, plus polyphony runs out faster on the Juno-D than Roland and retailers suggest.
@@MannysMusic_Online New sound engine, but with the same 30-year-old sounds. Very few users delve into sound design, so only they will benefit from Zen-Core, essentially.
@@Jason75913 I never experienced any poliphony issues with Roland. Furthermore, Roland Cloud offers more than 8000 ZenCore sounds, so you are completely wrong about the 'same old sounds'. This is simply not true. Do I still want classic Roland sounds? Hell yeah!!! Because they are incredibly good!!! Also you are no longer limited to factory and expansion boards waveforms, because ZenCore expansions can add more waveforms with each sound bank. ZenCore power is in the integration with the Roland Cloud. A limitless universe of new sounds, and frequently growing.
@@Jason75913 Bullshit! According to the MIDI implementation guide, which you (of course!) did not read, this Juno D6/7/8 actually receives all the 16 MIDI channels and all the necessary Program Change, CC, Bank Select MSB/LSB and SysEx messages.
@@Acrimonious_Snake you don't get the missing 9-16 channels, receiving MIDI data on those channels does nothing, the Reference manual and website make clear that there are only 8 parts per Scene
Can you say why? Does this one have Arabian Strings and Baroque Strings? I understand you, because the first things I look for in a keyboard are the strings, the brass and winds and the organ sounds. They make your music sound a little "Bach-like".
You can if you wish, you can toggle keyboard control of each part on or off, you could play 1 channel by itself, or layer up to 8 channels - whatever you like.

Me too. I have a GW7 and it's time for a change.
I couldn’t set my mind on Juno D or ModX6+… this video just did it. The key word is - BATTERY 🔋
This review was great! Informative and to the point. Definitely getting this board soon.
Thanks! Hope you enjoy it, it's a fantastic unit
Just picked up the D6 and I'm really enjoying it. I especially like the massive list of arps. I midi it out to run arps to my Prophet etc. Very cool.

I am looking for a demo of the JUNO-D7. I think the 76-key keybed gives the instrument an edge.
It's exactly the same, just more keys 🙂
@MannysMusic_Online Oh, big difference. Especially on the left had bass side.

I was just thinking about Axel Foley
~laughs in Axel Foley~ 😁
Can you change the key range by using the shift function and pressing the keys as to where you want it to start and finish. Eg from B3 to C5.
how does the key bed feel ?

I’m trying to sell some gear to buy on of these..
Wow that intro sounds like Karaoke. Why not one con in your video?
Am I able to connect this to a frfr speaker like the headrush 108 and also have my guitar amp modeler?
can i play oriental songs on Roland Juno D?

How much is the memory for user sampling and does it support multisampling? Are different arps styles can be assigned to different parts of scene?
No multisampling, Only on arp per scene....Fantom 06 has those features
@@wireguy123to much limitations this problem exists even in Roland fantom line ....
@@fahimdawer This is an entry-level 'board, you're not getting those features here anytime this decade or the next, just like in all the past ones, unfortunately.

You can change the speed (tempo) with the Tempo button in the bottom right corner, or change the time division in the arpeggiator menu settings 🙂

Great video bad keyboard player.
nasty backhand you've got there 😂
Would have love to know if you can access the other MIDI parts (9-16) through a DAW and the USB audio feature.
they don't exist, you would need to get a Juno-DS, FA, Juno-Di (not a typo), or Fantom-0 if you want more parts per multi.

Thats a Roland FA in a new Case...basically ;-)
You're confusing it with the Fantom-0. Fantom-0 is FA with Zen-Core and a new case. Juno-D is a cut-down alternative to those two.
strings are bad

Old wine in new bottle🍼.. Old sound stack. You could have atleast changed the name. Always juno, juno. Why roland? 😮
If Juno, you Juno.
Why is Roland development so dead?
Are you kidding?
There is a site where you can submit suggestions, but they never listen.
hi,if I turn off the single button and hit the keyboard, will juno-d send all 8 channels' sounds to the speakers?
That depends on how any multi patch is configured.
You can if you wish, you can toggle keyboard control of each part on or off, you could play 1 channel by itself, or layer up to 8 channels - whatever you like.
