Roland JUNO-Di replaces the highly popular Juno D and offers a raft of features developed for the upmarket Juno Stage. One of the features that the Roland Juno-Di inherits from Juno Stage is the ability to playback tracks from a USB stick - but check this out. Juno Di also features a centre cancel function, so you can drop out lead vocals and take centre stage! With the ability to run on batteries, Roland Juno Di is simply a travelling musician’s dream, whether performing on stage or in the streets.
Although Juno-Di features a lightweight construction, it still performs and sounds like a heavyweight Roland synth and comes packed with over 1,000 top-quality sounds. Juno-Di also has a friendly "direct access" control panel for easy editing and a Song Player for larger-than-life performances. First-timers and pros alike will love this friendly, portable, great-sounding synth.
With so many sounds onboard, it could be a daunting task to find what you need. But fear not - the JUNO-Di simplifies the process of finding sounds with its dedicated category buttons. If you want a piano, for example, just press the Piano button. You can even assign your most-used sounds to the Favourite buttons for instant access. Editing is easy too. If you want to create layers or splits, dedicated buttons and the large LCD make the process fast and friendly. And don’t forget the onboard rhythm patterns, which can be easily adjusted on the fly with a dedicated tempo control. It’s a great tool for practice and performance.
More than meets the eye, the Roland JUNO-Di lets you plug a microphone into its external input and process your voice through the built-in vocoder. A dedicated reverb is assigned to the input, so you can add lush ambience to your voice without taking away from the main onboard effects. Sing along with your performances and transform your voice in colourful and creative ways, from silky smooth to sci-fi robotic.
With its USB MEMORY port and Song Player function, the JUNO-Di enables direct playback and control of backing tracks from a USB key. You can play MP3, WAV, AIFF, and SMF files, and control them from the dedicated buttons on the front panel. Impress your audiences with full-band performances from a single keyboard! Additionally, the Centre Cancel feature lets you sing along karaoke-style with audio files in the Song Player for a complete entertainment experience. You can also connect MP3 players directly to the JUNO-Di through its external input. The Roland Juno-Di features:
