Sharing the same high-powered processor as Roland’s famous Fantom-X series keyboards, the Roland JUNO-G places a world of top class sounds and performance features under any musicians’ fingertips, and allows more sounds to be added via Roland’s SRX expansion boards. Songs can be created and edited with the onboard audio/MIDI sequencer.
Roland Juno-G
For both songwriters and performers alike, the Roland JUNO-G’s 16-part MIDI sequencer is unique with the addition of 4 companion stereo audio tracks which is a delightful surprise for an instrument in it’s price range. It allows players to lay down the perfect backing tracks plus the addition of vocals, live guitar parts, and other instruments. The Roland JUNO-G’s revolutionary front panel transport controls, 5 audio sliders and dynamic sound modification knobs make for a new and exciting recording experience.
Some of it’s other features are :-
Fantom-X quality sound engine with 128-voice polyphony.
A SRX slot to further expand the internal sounds.
A PC Card slot (which will accept CompactFlash or SmartMedia cards).
An Arpeggiator, Chord Memory and multi-effects built-in.
I’ve had my Juno-G for around 18 months now and I am only just scratching the surface of it’s features.
I have several other keyboards but after playing the Juno-G they feel cheap and tinny. Although they are great musical instruments in their own rights they just can’t compare to the Juno-G. The Juno-G is a solid, professional well made keyboard and you feel it as soon as you start playing. I always have a thrill run through me when playing it which is more than I can say for my other Yamaha Keyboards. Don’t think about buying a Roland Juno-G, just buy one. You won’t regret your purchase!
