The JUNO-DS61 is an ideal keyboard for all types of players, from
performing pros and weekend warriors to music producers and home
hobbyists. It also excels in teaching labs and other music education
environments. Easy to carry and easy to use, the JUNO-DS61 is filled
with great Roland sounds for any style or genre, and versatile battery
or AC operation gives you the flexibility to play anytime and anywhere.
One thing that’s made the JUNO series a players’ favorite is its
instant-access design, which makes it easy to call up fantastic sounds
right away. But if you like to dig in and customize, the JUNO-DS61 now
offers even more adjustable parameters than before, allowing you to
tweak patches and performances with detailed precision. The front panel
provides an expanded array of hands-on knobs and sliders for creating
patches and adjusting sounds as you perform, while the rear panel
features jacks for connecting hold and expression pedals at the same
time.
With the JUNO-DS61’s eight Phrase Pads, you can supplement your keyboard
performances with samples or music files stored on USB memory. Just
load up the pads with whatever you like—one-shot samples, vocals, sound
effects, loops, or complete music tracks—and trigger them with a quick
touch when needed.
When you have an idea for a song or beat, you can easily capture and
develop it with the onboard pattern sequencer. The intuitive, non-stop
operation won’t interrupt your creative flow, letting you build up full
arrangements with multiple sounds in no time. The sequencer is also
perfect for enhancing live performances with pre-made backing music and
on-the-fly looping.
Acoustic pianos, electric pianos, and organs are bread and butter for
most performing keyboardists. In the JUNO-DS61, the pianos have been
newly enhanced with improved sound and response, and there are even more
organs to choose from. In addition to this new DS Tone Bank, the
instrument includes the entire 1000-plus sound set from the
previous-generation JUNO-Di, and patches from that keyboard are fully
compatible with the JUNO-DS61.
