DanS Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I'm scaling down the live rig a little, and I'm looking at the G to take care of sequencing, a bit of sample playback, and of course some keys sounds. I hear the keybed is not exactly stellar, but it's not so much a concern, as I'll be using an S80 & PEK as well. The ram would need to be expanded as well, do Rolands use standard sticks? Thoughts, experiences / horror stories? Thanks. D What we record in life, echoes in eternity.

delirium Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Obviously you didnt see my I slept with juno-g thread Juno-g has great sequencer so easy to use that you dont need read manual at all. Sounds except the piano are fantastic. Piano is only good. It accepts 168 pin PC 133 up to 512mb memory from older computers. Plus CF cards up to 1GB. Fully loaded it can record up to 55 minutes or so of audio. Juno-g makes perfect sound module and sequencer to my new S90ES. Cute little instrument. Keys are not good, but in my setup does't matter. ♫♫♫ motif XS6, RD700GX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanS Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 Thanks guys, Delirium, have you noticed any problems with the sustain pedal killing notes, particularly on string style patches? It's apparently some sort of software bug. What we record in life, echoes in eternity.

delirium Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 DanS, I haven't, but I use juno mainly as sequencer and control it from S90ES, so didn't even plug in any pedal into it. ♫♫♫ motif XS6, RD700GX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niacin Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I'd hoped I could use the G as a songwriting machine and have it double as an unweighted keyboard playing some external sounds as well as the clav patches in the SRX-12 board that I was going to install in it. Was. All I can do is warn you to play the keyboard before you buy. It's a great songwriting tool, the sounds are quite good in that Roland sort of way, but the keys are amongst the worst I've played.

stepay Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I've played the Juno-G a bit at the music store after seeing Delirium's initial review of it, and I definitely think it's a sweet little board for the price; agree also that all the sounds are great except the piano sounds. I also agree that you need to play it as whether or not the keys are good is subjective. I prefer "easy to play" keys like the Juno-D and Juno-G have, so I atually liked it a lot. If you're used to weighted keys or a piano though, it will take some getting used to. Not everyone's cup of tea. Steve (Stevie Ray) "Do the chickens have large talons?"

DanS Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 Well it will replace a D-70 as far as the keybed goes, so.... I'm more concerned with the sustain pedal issue that a lot of people are complaining about. What we record in life, echoes in eternity.
