Roland Juno DS – soon to be available in a 76-key version
Roland recently released the first ever 88-key Roland Juno DS, now they’ve announced a 76-key variation – lightweight and gig-ready.
The Roland Juno DS builds on the iconic Juno platform that has become somewhat of an industry standard amongst singers and songwriters. It offers a huge library of over 1200 built-in sounds, from the classic Roland sounds we know to a wide range of new sounds designed specifically for the new Roland Juno DS range.
The new Roland Juno DS-76 takes advantage of Roland’s intuitive multi-layer and split keyboard functionality by extending the range of playable keys. This makes it the ideal choice for live performers who need the full-range of keys at their disposal, without having to trigger octaves switches. They’ve also redesigned the keys on the Roland Juno DS-76 for a slightly more comfortable and consistent feel.
The new Roland Juno DS engine adds the ability to import your own multi-sample libraries to create much more realistic patches than ever before, you can also import your own single sample files to trigger as drums or hits or download a variety of new patches and samples from Roland’s Axial website.
A great option for both live and studio use…
The redesigned Juno DS synth engine features an intuitive vocoder and auto-pitch module, built into the microphone preamp section, alongside the classic reverb from the previous Juno series. Another great feature making the Roland Juno DS a great choice for singers and songwriters.
Roland have also integrated a DAW transport control section into the keyboard, making life a little easier when stepping into the studio. Along with the integrated audio and MIDI over USB, and the built-in microphone preamp, it’s a great starting point for a home studio setup.
Roland are yet to announce an official release date and retail price, we’ll let you know when they do.
