The Mobile Synth For Ambitious New Musicians

The Roland JUNO-DS61 is a 61-note mobile synth with great sounds and hands-on operation for ambitious bands.

Life moves fast as an upcoming musician or ambitious new band. When you’re racing between rehearsals, sessions and shows, you don’t have time to spend with a bulky, complex synth that’s difficult to use. The Roland JUNO-DS61 is the ultra-portable modern synth that can keep up with your band life. Lightweight, compact and powerful, this 61-note instrument is always ready to go, with easy operation and instant access to pro onboard sounds that let you create or perform music anywhere from street to studio. The JUNO-DS61 is the easiest way to start playing a keyboard with the band, with the flexibility to continue supporting you as your music progresses.

Travel like a guitarist

If you want your band to get noticed, you need to get out there. Whatever you’ve got in the diary, the JUNO-DS61’s compact size and 11.7lb weight means it’s easy to transport, load in and set up, so you’ll never have to turn down a career-making gig across town, miss a vital band rehearsal or arrive late to a recording session. As a modern musician, you’ll do most of your recording on a home computer using a DAW – and the JUNO-DS61 has everything you need, no extra gear required. With optional battery operation for street performance, and a mic input that lets you create pro vocals without external gear, the JUNO-DS61 is ready for every scenario the music industry can throw at you.

Create your signature sound with ease instantly

Some synths make you stick with the factory settings, which can leave your music sounding generic – but the JUNO-DS61 is wide open. The instant-access design lets you call up pro sounds in seconds. Even if this is your first synth, it’s simple to dig into an array of adjustable parameters and create your own voice. Select the performance mode and you can set up advanced sounds like layering strings onto the acoustic piano, or assigning organ and bass to your right and left hands respectively. Create and tweak patches, shape sounds during a song with hands-on controls, and connect expression pedals via the rear panel to take your performance to the next level.

Stand out from the crowd with unique vocal effects

If you’re a solo performer or singer/songwriter, you’ll love the JUNO-DS61’s mic input, which lets you get great vocal sounds without having to carry around extra gear. There’s a dedicated vocal reverb, plus Auto Pitch for singing with the “stepped” electronic vocal effect popular in today’s music. The built-in vocoder is inspirational too, allowing you to sing into a mic and control the tone and pitch via sounds played on the keyboard. If you want to jam but don’t have bandmates available, you can add instant beats under your keyboard parts using the JUNO-DS61’s eight Phrase Pads, or copy audio data (MP3/WAV) to the USB memory and play along with full-band backing.

Keep your music up-to-date with free downloadable sounds

The JUNO-DS61’s onboard sounds and editing capabilities are just the beginning. This modern instrument also supports internal waveform expansion via USB, bringing the best synth sounds from the web into your performance. Use the versatile EXP-06 Studio Collection preloaded in the wave expansion slot, then choose your favorites from over 1000 EXP patches available for free download at Roland’s Axial website. You’ll find top-quality acoustic piano collections, world instruments, go-to studio standards, percussion, loops – it’s even possible to load in WAV files from your own sound library. And the free JUNO-DS librarian software lets you manage all these sound patches using your computer.

Quality Keyboard...Needs minor tweeks
Roland has always made quality instruments and the Roland Juno DS is another fine example of a Top notch keyboard at a decent price. When I first got the keyboard, all i had was studio quality pair of headphones and it sounded terrific.When I finally attached it to a sound system, I was some what disappointed. Then I went into the Master EQ settings under the System Settings Edit and played with the settings until I got a very warm, rich sound for my external sound system.I do like the fact that you can combine patches to create multi layered patches that sound absolutely amazing! The keys feel perfect, and the whole board feels like a well made instrument that will last for many years to come. For $850 on Amazon, it's a fantastic buy for the money!My only minor complaints would be the lack of a "local" switch on the board itself, and the drum patches are subpar as far as quality. If you are looking for the highest quality drum patches available I would highly recommend Superior Drummer 3 by Toontrack...Best VST I have ever used. Expensive but well worth it!If anyone would like to know what settings I used on the Master EQ switch feel free to contact me.

Reviewed in Italy on April 19, 2023
Enorme salto di qualità dalla precedente tastiera anni 80 ormai vintage in mio possesso, dopo lunga ricerca sono approdato a questa Juno ed infine ho preferito la 76 tasti rispetto alla 61. Suoni puliti, tasti dal tocco piacevole (credo semi pesati), cori ed ottoni fantastici, anche i piani non scherzano. Acquistata da warehouse con un po’ di sconto con la dicitura “come nuova” “imballo danneggiato”, arrivata con scatola effettivamente con qualche toppa ma prodotto mai aperto ed integro. Affare. Amazon top.
