Don’t fuss over analogue reissues. If your 85% there in a model go for it. For me having experience of the original keyboards i don’t care. This X made me feel the originals like a bolt to my chest. I know the sounds. I recognised them and was immediately emotional. These boards were sound design boards. I reckon they hit the 90% accuracy combining sound and feel with modern flexibility.

I love the juno sound and interface. I love the old XV5080 sounds too. This is a great implementation. The mention at the end that "patches downloaded from the cloud last for 30 power cycles before you need to connect to the internet and re-authorise" REALLY rubs me up the wrong way though. I understand their motives, its just at odds with how I want a synth to work.

@galahadskeys 2 года назад

I have the Jupiter X and it works the same in that this only applies to sounds that have been downloaded onto the synth via the Roland dongle connected to your phone / tablet from Roland Cloud. I don't have the dongle and just use it connected to the computer via usb to use with my DAW so I haven't noticed it. I suppose that if I go on tour with it then at some point I'd need to plug it into my MacBook but this is only for sounds used with the subscription service and not any internal sounds or sounds that you create yourself.

@Johnnyjawbone 2 года назад

@@galahadskeys Ah OK. And do you personally rate the Jupiter X? I had a play on that the other day and loved it. I'm by no means a professional musician by the way!

@galahadskeys 2 года назад

@@Johnnyjawbone You know, it's a tough one to be honest. All of the patches and models are available on Roland Cloud so in some ways the Jupiter X is a big metal box with Roland Cloud built into it. On the other hand, it's the immediacy of using it, the controls, the quality of the keyboard, in fact the build quality of the synth as a whole, the vocoder, the expandability, the balanced outputs. it all adds up to a stunning pro synth. I wonder if i would have bought it if it was a plastic synth like the FA range but as it looks like a Jupiter 8 then I couldn't resist treating myself to this little bit of luxury.

@lennardvillasenor5151 Год назад

I had the Juno 106 in 1984 and wished being classically trained, that it had velocity sensitivity and piano sampled sounds. This would fit the bill. The styling is for me emotional and there is the arpeggiator which the Juno 60 had but my 106 did not. I have VSTs galore including UHE Diva, TAL UNO, Which sound like Roland Junos as well as Halion 7 and UVI Falcon which can do similar offerings to Zenology regarding post analog, sampled, iarpeggio multi timbral parts, et al. But something compels me to want this Juno X. My inner 16 year old is cheering.

@maccagrabme 2 года назад

The design is by far the best I've seen in decades. Sounds great, the dream would have been to remake a modern analog version and stick a zencore engine or a version with ACB engines but I guess it is what it is and they want the product compatibility. Most people are going to be more than content with the sounds in this, it's certainly much better than most of the digital Roland synths of the 90s and 2ks that were trying to capture this sound. Certainly more appealing than the Jupiter XM for hands on.

@teak6306 2 года назад

the 101 uses the same filter chip as the 6/60, the IR3109 [same as in the jupiters 4/6/8, 202, jx3p and early mks-80] where as the 106 used the 80017a.

@bradleyrogers6271 2 года назад

After over 35 years since departing with my JX-3P with PG-200 programmer I have jumped back in again and purchased the JUNO-X! An incredible instrument but now being a little out of touch with technology I find my struggling with using some of the interface even after reading the reference manual. Any place to get some direct instruction on some of the buttons usage?

@christopherholloway8153 Год назад

I too downloaded and read all the manuals and I agree that the user interface is confusing. Selecting a MODEL is easy, but the thousands of presets under the PRESET button is hard to figure out. Several banks are labeled as SYNTH, but they also have drums, and then they also contain tones for the XV-5080 model, and all the lines are blurry. I'm not stupid; I have a degree in computer science, and I can discern complex structures, but I can't figure out how Roland organized this preset structure: PR-A 001 = COMMON = SYNTH, but PR-A 001 COMMOND = RHYTHM? What is that? Logic Theory is predicated upon grouping under class features, but with distinctive nomenclature. Whoever designed this was smoking acid. If you can figure the patch structure on this synth, please send a link to me. Thanks.

@bilonggrisimmeri 2 года назад

Roland fanboy & JD-XA owner here. Did you know Jupiter X (and likely Juno X) contain at least one entire bank of the same PCMs? They are in a diferent order, so you need to tick them off individually to discover this. That said, I'll definitely try this synth in a shop, though still think JD-XA can come pretty close to both these new "X" series synths.

@synthnerd4539 2 года назад

re: 106 bass boost - whereas the 60 has just a highpass filter with the bottom step as 'off', the 106 has a bass boost at the lowest position, step 2 is 'off', and steps above add more HP filtering (the 6 being a continuous slider with no bass boost).

@Gear4musicSynthsTech 2 года назад

Thanks for confirming, that is top knowledge! 👍 Also we checked, and the filter chip Mylar was trying to remember (and was confusing it with the BA662 amplifier which is an important part of the sound signature of many classic Rolands) is of course the venerable Roland IR3109. The webpage he was mentioning that details the chips inside various classic Rolands is this one, fascinating to understand a bit about the shared history of all these devices (and the quirks that make them all different) www.florian-anwander.de/roland_filters/

New Juno X engine sounds badass

@keekeefries6298 2 года назад

Great video! When you are the RD2000 piano mode, can you apply those digital effects directly from the controls, or are they just applied to the other synth engines? In other words, what aspects of the controls are live when you are in that RD2000 piano mode. Can I apply the Roland chorus’ for example just by hitting the chorus 1, 2, 3, or are those effects reserved for the other synth engine types ? Thank you!

@roggyo 2 года назад

Sound Effects can be applied to any sound, they are not only for synth models. If it’s working the same like Jupiter X and Xm (and I think it’s the same), you can apply any FX to any sound in Part mode (one sound) and in scene mode (one or more sounds at once). Controllers are applying FX only to scene and in scene you can apply more FX at once to one sound or to more sounds at the same time. So you can make scene from one single sound (for example only piano) or more sounds (for example piano and strings together or more synths at once) and easily apply effects to your piano or piano and strings with controllers.

@roggyo 2 года назад

P.S. But if you play only piano, it’s not necessary to make a scene, because you can apply effects to one sound using menu diving. And in menu you’re going to find even special effects only for Electric Piano - EP chorus, EP flanger, EP delay, EP Phaser, EP tremolo and even EP Amp simulator.

@keekeefries6298 2 года назад

@@roggyo thanks! Ideally those effects controllers would be relevant to each sound you bring up regardless of sound source and be immediately active as you switch between zones in a scene. I could have chorus on my piano and delay on my lead synth, reverb on my drum part, etc…Sounds like this is in fact the case which makes this instrument viable for someone who hates the menu diving….

@davidpalacios6116 2 года назад

The negative reviews are comedy 🤣 your biggest argument is that it’s a VST in a box since it’s digital . ALL DIGITAL SYNTHS ARE. The embarrassment, you’re missing the point of this Synth . It’s not trying to be a recreation of the classics before it . It’s paying homage to them but the Juno X has its own engine . This is the next Juno . The “competition” you guys are bringing up are no where near close to the capabilities of this Synth. If you watched the whole damn video maybe you’d see that for yourself. The Deepmind is analog , great ! But that’s bout all the hell it is , the polyphony is limited , the layering and sound design doesn’t come close. Fantom 0 series are great for the value! Value! It’s part of the Fantom *O* series for a REASON! The Jupiter Xm is amazing but for the price you might as well save more and buy the Juno X . The only synth at this price I would even try to argue is the Sequential Rev 2 for all the analog purist. But… oh 8 voicings? as a keyboardist that’s simply not enough . it’s limited to what’s inside . The Rev 2 is just a Rev 2 . A Juno X is a Juno X , a modernized 60 and 106, a vocoder , with drum sequences , smart arpeggiator , expansion IF you want , Temp tuning and so many parameters for sound design and on top of all this , A Classic Juno Interface. You can complain about the price all you want. Make a comparison for another synth that offers all this at a lower price. This is fairly priced. Not to forget the build quality . Got mines on the way . This isn’t the 80’s anymore . PS - I’ve played on a 106

@@ErraticFaith2k? Which is UK Average monthly income? Also 2k is pretty standard pricing for new premium products from all major AAA synth / work station developers; Nord, Roland, Korg, Yamaha. 2k is flagship money, not 'nothing' relative to the market imo. You could get 4-5 synths for 2k. This looks like it makes for a great stage / gigging Juno, great features, stable tuning etc. but if you just want a Juno sound - 2k is alot. Ju-06 is sufficient...

Thanks Tim - it's definitely light grey, very similar tone to the original 106.

When choosing a Model/ Engine, besides Juno-x, Juno-106, XV5080 etc. you can choose PR-A/ PR-B ... PR-X. What are those and what is the difference?

@scottblanchard7542 Год назад

the PR- banks are banks all made using the ZEN engine-4-parts each with up to 4 oscillators, and dozens of editable parameters. They use combinations of PCM waveforms and modeling. They are multi-platform banks found in other Roland gear like the Fantoms, JP-X, MC-707, and Roland Cloud. Some are excellent, some need tweaking to taste, but they all show the power of the ZEN system. Actually, all sound banks in new Roland gear are using ZEN; the model expansions are also ZEN but using a customized greatly limited set of parameters that focus on core tone of the vintage instruments, including more CPU hungry modeled filters (R, M, and S), and to me they sound impressive and fantastic.

So the only reason choose the new Juno - X would be layering of multiple Junos together in conjuction with the interface ? Because technically we are talking about the same engines here. Right ?? Thanks in advance

@roggyo 2 года назад

There is no difference between Jupiter X and Juno X in sound. It has less controllers (Juno X has the same number of controllers as small Jupiter Xm) and second difference is that Juno X has less synth models. It doesn’t have Jupiter 8, JX-8p and SH-101 VA synths (you get only Juno 106 and Juno 60). If you want those VA models you have to buy them and each of them is 150€. It means that if you want to have other virtual analog synth models which you get with Jupiter X and Xm in Juno X, you have to pay extra 450€. In that case Juno X costs almost the same as Jupiter X. That’s why if you are not hardcore fan of Juno synth IMO Jupiter X or Xm is better deal for Roland synth sounds.

@mikemirts 2 года назад

@@roggyo Thank you for the reply. Yes that's my understanding on the matter too. I was trying to justify the reason of the Juno - X and from all the data so far I understand that is for the hardcore fans of the older Juno models !! I think at the end of the day is about the knobs and the retro style !! I think the Jupiter -Xm could be a good middle ground for studio work. has all the main models with the expansion capabilities, small footpring and a more reasonable price .. maybe the Jupiter and Juno -Xs are betters for gigs .. cheers !!

Looks like the zen core sound engine from the Jupiter X, but with Juno controls, and a few buttons to switch it into a Juno type modes. Not sure who this is aimed at other than someone chasing Juno type controls. They have also added the Xv5080 and Roland piano sounds, but that comes with other zen core products such as the MC707/101. I guess I’m starting to think of Roland products as simply different hardware controllers for their zen core vst.

I have a Fantom 6,,, not the O-mg, OB6, P6, Polybrute, Summit, Modx6, Wavestate, Opsix, XD, Digitakt, Octa MK2, A4 Analog, ASM, TR6S, MPC L2, and Maschine plus and this would be a great accompaniment.... The Waldorf Iridium and MoogOne are the only others I'm considering. The UDO is also an option imho. Also, if this where hybrid and analogue it would be £2500.

@mik300z 2 года назад

Sounds fab but perhaps a few less bells and whistles and just the simple juno layout would have been good too , and price it at 1k instead of 2k, the dm12 is going to stay a strong competitor at a third the price. But having said that fair play to roland , having owned all the junos , they really nailed it. Having a dm12 now i really miss the extra octave.

Great to see this..BUT...the Phantom O series is full work station and has a lot of these sounds and it’s only $1200. His is a nice synth but it is way too expensive. It should be priced around $1100 -$1200 tops. This price is on,y plying off the obnoxious pricing of vintage synths.

@QuantizStudioRecords Месяц назад

You can't edit synthesis like here with Fantom 0. Here are all posibilities to change, edit and save the patches in analog style with the faders. It s 2 different things! After time, this Juno-X will be more expensive in my opinion!

@20thcenturygames 2 года назад

it is fairly close let’s be honest, the same no but who cares. Does it sound good, i think it does. Is it selling the zenology engine and subscription over and over in a new skin, yes, yes it is. But the body matters, i notice reviewers twiddling knobs more on this because it is a simpler looking interface than the jupiter x. Is it 500 too much? Absolutely. The fantom 06 is 1500.00 and has sampling to boot. But again looks matter and the zenology is good enough.

@mrz80 Год назад

@thedarkestrainbow 6 месяцев назад

It’s a really cool synth, def my fav thing from Roland in a while. But I can’t help but laugh at how ironic it is that that put all this nerdy engineering into making feel so alive and analog, down to realtime temperature fluctuations, when they could have just made it analog and all that would have been inherent.

@playeveryday01 2 года назад

If the deep mind is analog and half the price, why isn’t the Juno x ? Make it make sense.

@vaiman7777 2 года назад

Because it's nothing like a Juno X... I own both. I find it strange people think their DM12 will get this sound, it can't. It's a great synth, but nothing like this.

@@vaiman7777 I agree, i have the DM12D and as it's original concept was based on the Juno106 (which i'm sure you know :) , I do feel the Juno X is miles ahead.

So many utterly ignorant, uniformed assumptions and downright stupid comments. This sounds absolutely FANTASTIC even on RU-vid - and I’ve owned the iconic Roland classics being modeled here. Honestly, if people want a thin, boring, lifeless “impression” of a Juno, go buy a Deepmind. This is in a whole other ballpark.

What's your full impression of the deepmind 12?

@JimDaneker 2 года назад

@@fatbobe1986 the Deepmind is a decent synth - even bordering on a great synth for the money. Certainly nothing else comes close in its price range. But it doesn’t hold a candle to the big, beefy sound of a Juno, System 8, Jupiter X, etc.

There are over 4000 sounds preloaded on this machine that are yours no matter what - and they cover every type of synthesis and sound for 98% of musicians. It's only the stuff you get from the cloud that requires additional authorization.

@SeverityOne Год назад

It's funny to see somebody barely south of the millennium talking about "back in the 1980s". Nice synth, although the Jupiter-X looks even more desirable. But that temperature gauge is just daft. Why recreate the least desirable aspect of analogue synths? It's like saying "yes, it's a brand new car, but you need to operate the choke manually, just like in the past". Finally, I *hate* subscription-based software, which includes synthesiser models. It makes sense for businesses, both suppliers and their customers, but it doesn't make sense if you're an individual. If I buy a proper XV-5080 or Juno-106, it will never need to connect to the cloud.

@SR-ih1be 2 года назад

It's actually worse than the one in System 8

@shaft9000 2 года назад

It's worse. The System 8 has the ACB engine, which requires more CPU power per-voice. Zen core gives more voices and fx at the expense of some circuit-modeling detail.

@aqueous5099 2 года назад

That’s it! This is the issue. This is just outdated, incomplete junk for the price point, for the times. It’s a 106 “revision” that just smashes other engines together, but it’s just an emulation. Hardly a remaster. This would have been a great product if the lineup of Roland the past 5-8 years didn’t contradict this vision. At this point, Roland should end the Boutique lineup, even though some of those are actually designed better than zencore. The ju-06 & boutiques, the cloud, the JupiterX, the fantoms, the 707, not to mention the many vsts that put em to shame. You can’t call Roland modern if they’re a decade late. I can’t imagine why, unless I had a big incentive/reason, pick any of their “flagship” synths over their workstations let alone the truly modern competition. 2k+ for digital emulation that still is expanded with a lease service? I’ll have to avoid recommending hardware synths from Roland.

@markwoodson2020 2 года назад

@scottblanchard7542 Год назад

I can agree-kind of wish it was an analog reissue, but that would make it a 6-voice analog polysynth, and I bet that would cost even more, a minimum $3.5k, as do the current Sequential offerings.

Wow! So it’s yet another Zen Core synth? Meaning the same synth engine they’ve been churning out repeatedly for quite some time which doesn’t sound very good at all? This product smells like the Roland executives saw how much vintage Junos are going for these days and rushed to slap as many already existing digital synthesis engines into a vintage facade to take advantage of the hype. If you want this sound, just get a Roland Cloud subscription and save yourself some money. Great shilling guys!
