I have used keyboards and Midi since the 80s. The Juno Di is one of my favorite keyboards because of its many sounds, portability, and keybed feel, standard midi file and mp3 playback. Where the Di lacked was quality of sound but the operating system and features were rock solid for external midi control- as a controller and as a drum rhythm player synced to incoming midi. Di is great at multitasking! I can keep one player rolling while I switch back to play favorites for example. The DS is currently falling short of this multitasking ease, however this should not stop anyone as this could be fixed in updates. But there are other missing features the Di has like Standard Midi File playback and a Playlist editor (can workaround the playlist editor but not midi file ... MoreI have used keyboards and Midi since the 80s.

The DS is currently falling short of this multitasking ease, however this should not stop anyone as this could be fixed in updates. But there are other missing features the Di has like Standard Midi File playback and a Playlist editor (can workaround the playlist editor but not midi file playback) However the DS sounds are incredible and very full sounding next to the Di.I sold my Di to get the DS. Loading old patches and favorites was a snap! The sounds in the DS are much better, even the same patches from the Di are much better fidelity making it a great pro board to a point. Yes the sounds are pro, but the hardware 1.04 system needs to be updated to support more pro editing features in the sequencer and in the sampler. The samplers are limited, dont plan on Ableton Live like playback of phrases because you can play only 1 sample at time from the phrase sampler, this is ok for song part playback however. You would be limited to load drum samples becase of 1 sample at a time playback. You can load a sample into a patch to playback on keybed, however I have not found a way to load several samples into 1 patch and I'm not sure you can do that (Roland rep said you can in a video but Im not sure yet) but split keyboard means you can at least get 2 samples across the Keybed.The drums sound very good in the DS. I was able to create a nice sequence. But i was not able to use an onboard rhythm in my phrase sequence. Thats too bad. If you want to use the onboard rhythm machine with the phrase sampler, hope for an update for this feature. Using external clock source I was not able to get the onboard rhythm machine and phrase sampler to work 100%. The rhytms would mysteriously stop after a bar or two. With external clock there was triggering of drums from the phrase sequencer even when turned off, or when I was in patch mode, these bugs need to be addressed by Roland. I never had any issues with my Di hardware revisions! It would be nice to fluidly choose the prase sequence and the rhythm player even simultaniously from external clock. Updates needed here.The keybed downward key travel is shorter than the Di and most other synths I have played, I have played many, the feel is adjustable, i got used to it and can play faster and slide better than the Di keybed which I have loved for years. But this may be preference, try the keybed settings if it feels uncomfortable. The keys have a slight grade to them, top is a little lighter than bottom, most people will not notice, good innovation Roland, like a piano.I like the vocoder, sounds great, however I would like to switch out of vocoder back into my previous patch or favorite. Nope, when leaving vocoder with the button the DS leaves you in a vocoder patch with regular mic patching. Please update so I can go from singing and playing piano into vocoder and back while performing.In sequencer I can erase on the fly, however I have to do it while holding the erase button down like a drum machine. There isn't an Erase full track on the fly. You have to turn the sequence off, thats a bummer. Also, you can quantise the input of the sequencer but not the output. This is not nice and is just one example of the extreme limitations of sequencer editing options, there are none at this point! But the DS does interface with your PC so you can get this done out of the box. You can also interface audio in and out of your pc or mac. This is a great addition over the Di, the sound is pristine! Also, the aux input sounds terrific, thanks for that Roland!No, you cant use Keyboard splits, favorites or layers in the Sequencer because each sequencer pad (or part) uses a different sound. There are no favorite patches that can be used for quick pull up into sequencer. You can use external midi program change into the DS however... A workaround.Why are the phrase pads shut down when I use this as a midi controller? I can maybe understand if If I am syncing to my pc or mac. Update!Overall I wished for a bit more out of this keyboard because it was toted as a professional rig, its processor seems sluggish, loads samples slowly and not quick on the fly, sequencer and sampler editing is poorly implimented but I guess they expect that will be done in your pc. With good software updates this can be a winner, but with the obvious sampler limitations. The pro sounds are the best implimented feature, the ability to add preferred sound banks for free is outrageous. I just wish the hardware soft rev was as flawless as the Di was. Multi-tasking is limited, this is needed by a 1 man band! I would still Recommend this keyboard highly, if you need a more powerful sampler add one on the side of this keyboard. If Roland fixes the bugs and limitations I will revise my review.

Super-fun synth. Loaded with great and versatile sounds. Does everything I would hope for it to do in this price range and a whole lot more!! Excellent beginner high-end synth. The next step from this is the Fantom 0 series but at more than twice the price. Grow into that from this. Remember- you need to plug it into external speakers/monitors.

I have had my eye on the Roland Juno keyboards for many years. I finally bought one and am very happy with it. Here are my observations. I have owned 3-4 cheap, Yamaha keyboards, the best being an MM6. I kept returning to the yamaha for 2 reasons - ease of operation and onboard rhythm machine that was user friendly. Each time I would test-drive the Roland Junos, I would love the sounds, but the navigation was cumbersome and the onboard rhythm machine was useless.What I love about the Juno-DS61:I love the tones. The organs sound rich and awesome. There are so many synths so are powerful and useful. The pads are great too. The pianos and keys sound fantastic.Fun - there are lots of terrific idea-stirring tools in this keyboard.

There are many great sound options to choose from and for the most part, they are easy to navigate and find. I am learning how to save my favorites - that menu is a little cumbersome at first, but I am getting the hang of it. I love the sliders and knobs on the left side and finding the dedicated volume sliders useful for the mic with onboard effects (very helpful!)Onboard Drum Machine: I have been playing with the onboard rhythm tool a lot. Although there are only about 32 pattern sets, they are very useful and having 8 different variations of each one is wonderful. Compared to the MM6, which had 4 rhythm variations, these are so helpful and also that most of the patterns have a high hat only and a kick drum only variation is welcome. I know a lot of users don't care much about that, but I often play solo gigs where a simple, easy to use accompaniment is necessary and now I have a great tool for that, and it's in easy reach of my right hand so I can change beats on the fly.What still needs work: The user friendliness has come a long way, but I think that Yamahas are easier to use out of the box. Some of the navigation, like selecting dual tones is difficult.

I am really not happy with this keyboard. The keys are very very stiff and require a fair amount of force to push down. I really prefer softer keys, and the distance you have to push is also very very uncomfortable and doesn't feel natural. I've only just opened it up out of the box so im not sure if im doing something wrong or there is a way to adjust this (probabl not). I will continue to mess around with it for a day or so but right now im set on returning it.
I am a guitarist who also plays synthesizers. I went into Sam Ash describing to the salesman what I was looking for and he suggested I try the Roland Juno DS61.Roland has always been a pioneer in this field and after playing around with it for about 15 minutes I was sold. The Juno DS61 has all the classic synth sounds of the 80's, 90's, pipe and cathedral organs and so much more.I programmed my favorites along with the effects of my choice and couldn't be happier. I was expecting to pay a lot more than I did and I am truly excited to add it to my home recording studio.I highly recommend it, it's light, versatile, easy to use and runs on batteries as well.

All comments from the viewpoint of practicallySo far so good, light and transportable, with the option of an excellent gig bag (with shoulder straps). As a 61 key instrument a great all round gigging second keyboard, (alongside a decent 88 key stage piano with good quality key action).I probably would not have gone for a Juno DS 88 for a main keyboard as the key action is ok but not up to the response of a Roland fp series action.Taking a while to figure out using customised user presets, but getting thereLoading user samples is of course a plus.Up to 10 user patches for each bank is ok, but for a busy live gig player, 20 would be more practical, especially if one is playing different set lists with different bands in quick successionLooks or appearance ... MoreAll comments from the viewpoint of practicallySo far so good, light and transportable, with the option of an excellent gig bag (with shoulder straps).

More or less what I was looking for in the price range. Needed keys for live band stage use. Programmable user presets/perfomance patches without arps, patterns or sequencing. I does have all that. The favs are useful for live patch access and it has performace mode patches. Downside is user performance mode more tricky to get to on initial setup and you dial the perfomance patches or pop them into a fave for instant one button selection. Im using midi hook up to setlist maker for instant patch call per song. Unlike my korg, I have not yet found the correct raw midi sysex messages to preset correct perfomance modes but I have only had it a week.
First, my experience with Sam Ash has been great over the last couple of years! They've won me back as a loyal customer after a long hiatus. The Juno DS61 has been a great intro into modern synths. The keyboard is "synth-weighted" which is fancy way of saying it feels like a plastic organ. The keys are more solid than other keyboards I've tried, but they still make we think I want hammer-action weighted keys -- I like to play more than I like to program, but I'm not an actual pianist.The sound quality is excellent. The strings, brass, synths, and pianos are all really good sounding. There are well over a thousand sounds available, but I think that's a slight exaggeration in terms of usefulness. There are like 60 acoustic pianos, I think I like 2 or 3 of them, and ... MoreFirst, my experience with Sam Ash has been great over the last couple of years!

There are like 60 acoustic pianos, I think I like 2 or 3 of them, and that's it. Plus, you can download sounds from Roland, which I'm looking forward to now that they've released the updated driver for MacOS Catalina. The amount of editing that you can do for each sound is extensive; probably too much. There are so many things to explore on this keyboard, but the truth is you can make useful noise almost instantly. It's very well laid out in terms of categorizing and accessing sound banks... the 4 real-time controller knobs are great -- especially the filter and resonance controls. The mixer is handy too. The super layer function is an awesome way to really thicken up any sound. I haven't even begun to explore the vocoder and autotune... and the onboard recording functions that go into the phrase pads.The biggest challenge with an instrument like this is really using it to its full potential.
And..... of course, that is correct. Even though I have not learned all the tricks the Juno DS has to offer, it sounds great, is easy to operate right out of the box. Build quality is good to very good. Even though it is light in wieght, it is solid and well constructed. It is the same quality as other Roland keyboards I have.The keyboard itself, 61 notes, has a nice feel. Plastic organ style keys play well.View screen is nice and easy to get used to.Roland tonal quality is top of the chart. Many great patches to work with. The performance features are fun. Not hard to get in to. I have just statred, but I see a great amount of potential.Used on my latest studio recording at MRMADD STUDIOS.Real beautiful sound on the tracks we made!
the sounds this keyboard makes are unbelievable .the ease of changing or arranging on the fly and the volume controls for every input are a looping solo artist dream. i gave it 4 stars because there are some sound effects like birds chirping,dogs barking,wind, rain car starting ,wheels squealing,thunder and others that my 403 had. (it may have them i haven't found them yet).the 8 pads can be programmed (pre-act) with all the tracks of the song separate so you can faze them in and out effortlessly and you can save 100 songs. it's slightly complicated but once you get it it's great! READ the manual FIRST. knowing the sequence of the procedures and functions is better then pushing and guessing . my only suggestion to Roland (and all others) is to make the control ... Morethe sounds this keyboard makes are unbelievable .the ease of changing or arranging on the fly and the volume controls for every input are a looping solo artist dream. i gave it 4 stars because there are some sound effects like birds chirping,dogs barking,wind, rain car starting ,wheels squealing,thunder and others that my 403 had.
