I'm glad to see that Roland is keeping my all time favorite series of hardware keys alive. It will be interesting to see what it is all about when it comes out.

Dave Bryce Posted July 12, 2004 Author Share Posted July 12, 2004 I'll be very interested to see what makes it it a Juno. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, so did the 106. I hope they are trying to revive the 6/60/106 mystique, not the Alpha-Juno crap. Reminds me of the new Pontiac GTO. "For instance" is not proof.

Dave Bryce Posted July 12, 2004 Author Share Posted July 12, 2004 So...six voices with a chorus circuit? For me, if it ain't got the sliders, it ain't a Juno. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marzzz Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Juno-D, as in Digital? As in VA?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeronyne Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Originally posted by Marzzz: Juno-D, as in Digital? As in VA??Well, it'd technically be a V .5V A, since the osc's have been digital since the 106. "For instance" is not proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pim Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 ... with a super lightweight design... I sure do hope it's not that super lightweight build like the XP10. My Music I always wondered what happened after the fade out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tusker Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Looks rather like an XP10 chassis to me ... Should we expect a Juno card for the V-synth/Varios along with this? I hope these new synths have an improved audio quality commensurate with their (often) reduced feature range. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Rhythm Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Have you seen anything credable about Roland jumping into the softsynth market? I would love to see them do something like korg did. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kad Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 If the Juno D is to the Juno 60 what the JP8000 was to the Jupiter 8, I wouldn't get too excited...

RABid Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 I never cared for the Juno 6/60/106 line. However, I really like the Jupiter 8 and the JP8000 found a home in many professional studios and stage rigs. I would still like to have a JP8000, some day, just for the super saw and the decent filters. It was never a Jupiter 8, but it was an excellent VA at the time of release.

It's not a model of any prior product or anything like that, but it's a first step perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tusker Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 http://www.roland.com/products/en/JUNO-D/index.html It's a rompler. The love child of the XP10 and the RS9 and heir to the Sound Canvas legacy. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Hooper Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 That definitely looks like an XP10 body; the tone generator is probably based on the V-Synth technology, but very scaled down, just like Yamaha releasing all those cheap (relatively speaking!) 4 op FM products after the DX7 series.

I wonder if it used the JV or the updated XV/Fantom engine. Either way, I cannot believe they put the Juno name on a simple ROMpler. Robert This post edited for speling.

RABid Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 I think they really missed out by not releasing a Juno 2 years ago. A basic VA for hover pads aimed at the trance market.

It's not even an analog-style synth. Wow. Yeah, I also thought it looked like an XP10. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJDM Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Aww man! They lost me at "Radio Ready"... My first keyboard was a Juno 106. My first studio recording had a Juno 60 on it. Based on this write up it looks like the Juno-D will not become part of that legacy. But I could be wrong. I'll have to try one out.

Roland did just fine with the Fantom name. Why don't they just cache the Juno/Jupiter names until something really flagship comes down the line? Ah, well. "For instance" is not proof.

I still have my Juno 6 and may be getting a Juno-106 as part of this production I am about to start .... This Juno-D leaves me severely underwhelmed.

Synthguy Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Hey now, I thot the alphaJunos were a great idea in the day when polyphonic synths of any type were quite a few dollars. I have an MKS50, it has its own decidedly non-wimpy sound signature, and it has its place in my rack. Well, stack, I still need some studio furniture. As for the Juno D... ugh, it's not for me. But you have to understand that there's a market for low end keyboards with big sounds. When a buyer is overwhelmed with a Fantom X or Motif, they need something like this, more than a Casio but not as involved as a Triton. It bringgs in the kids and keeps our numbers high. This keyboard solo has obviously been tampered with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
