Ever since the Juno-60 and Juno-106 defined lush, swirling synth sounds in the 80s, players have chased that magic in modern gear—and this one nails it by packing three distinct Juno flavors into a single powerhouse.
Powered by Roland's ZEN-Core engine, it recreates the authentic Juno-60 and Juno-106 oscillators alongside a beefed-up Juno-X model with enhanced Super Saw waves for massive pads, plus velocity sensitivity and pitch envelopes for deeper expression. You get five parts total—four for layering tones across keyboard splits or velocity zones, and one dedicated rhythm track from over 90 drum kits—backing it all with 93 multi-effects, eight reverbs, five choruses (including a fat new Chorus III you can mix for seven flavors), delays, EQ, overdrive, compression, and even a vocoder for mic input. The 61-key synth action bed responds to velocity and channel aftertouch, paired with a pitch/mod lever, two assignable sliders, three switches, and high-res knobs in a classic Juno-style layout that's instantly intuitive; dual onboard speakers, stereo/XLR outs, dual headphones, and Bluetooth/WiFi for Roland Cloud expansions round out the portable 42-inch-wide, 25.6-pound frame.
Players love how it captures that vintage Juno vibe without compromises, delivering gig-ready tones and smart I-Arpeggio patterns that evolve on the fly—though some note the keybed trades ivory feel for speedy playability. It's a go-to for anyone blending retro warmth with today's workflow.
