Roland Juno DS61 Synth (Sounds Only) | Gear4music Demo 

That’s the soul key

Nah, I like that part the most too..sounds so soulful. The one after that isn't too bad either.

basically the whole beginning for me

Bro, Do you know how he recorded the sound from the keyboard? Is he recorded it in daw software?

@@ivanferdinand3671 by 6.3 jack, no midi input. i got the 88 version and i know the back of the keyboard: there's no midi cable plugged. so..

I’ve just gone and bought this keyboard on the strength of that sound alone

Juno ds

In the DS you can create performance of 16 sounds, and then call it easy by the favorites funtion

if you intend to eventually play on an actual acoustic or want to be switching back and forth between the Juno and an acoustic, you may prefer the Juno-DS88.

Ears and eyes are your best friends

Once mixed down multiple tracks usually sounds worse than one stereo track. Another thing, once switched to performance mode individual patches looses effects presets available in patch mode and could sound like a bit of quality was lost.

Does it have a good selection of pads? For church?

What is the key-bed like too?

You can just record these sounds! Or try Native Instruments Komplete

I believe so..it has a built-in interface so it can be plugged directly into your laptop and capture audio.

@@Bass_Levelz Thanks. I was hoping to record in MIDI. I was hoping there was a way to choose sounds on the DS.

z qa no, it doesn't.

The Roland EV-5 expression pedal does what aftertouch does.

Sounds like that ‘people get ready, there’s a train coming’ gospel song

You mean MX? Roland seems to have a bit more clarity to me, it has a 8 bar looping sequencer, it has full size keys (MX has 95% widt keys or so?), Possibly an easier UI, can handle more FX, more control over the sound, you can play your own samples chromatically or long audio files from usb stick, Roland shares loads of extra instruments online. I'm leaning towards Roland. Korg Kross 2 has even more feautures, but everything is hidden in 10 layers of menu's. Both the Roland and Yamaha sound about equally good, better than Korg IMO. And I'm a big Korg fan.

OttoNL hi, yes, sorry, I meant the MX. In the end I decided on the Roland. The 76 key option is what clinched it for me. So far, I'm very happy with it, there's some great sounds in there and I've already made a couple of recodings that I like. It's really great value for money!

He probably recorded it in DAW (USB stream). If you listen sounds using headphones they should sound the same.

The keyboard amps at GC didnt sound as good an EV ZLX 12P powered speaker for the DS61. I bought 1 and a year later bought another one.

better acoustic sounds on the DS, and that's mostly it, though, for live use, you can't go wrong with the Di

it is probably your speakers, if the keyboard isn't defective

@@Jason75913 i have 3 more heys and no ha en this problem. Only the juno

@@JoseGarcia-yk3dl your keyboard needs repair

@@Jason75913 is New! Ouuuhhhh....... Thanks

Sounds like the melody from the Goonies movie

Stranger things

Roland FA-08, better version :P

Juno DS88 🤷‍♂️

@@marius-9333 only the 61 has synth keys. The keys on the others are overly stiff piano style keys.

_Menu_ > _Edit_ > _Patch Edit_ > _Pitch_ parameters are at the bottom

It’s the exact same in every way except that it’s got 88 Keys and they Keys are weighted instead of the synth type Keys. But no sound difference or anything else

the quality differences really are the dynamics, as one offers fully weighted keys (the 88) and the others don't. Same sound engine. Same ram, same rom, same IO. Synths = 2 parts: The synth itself, then the midi controller its attached to, and not every synth gets a midi controller attached to them.

sounded like Macy Gray - I Try to me

Deez nuts.....

Ds is a lot better

Plenty. Also, you can sample your own drum sounds or download from internet and use as normal preset patches.

Jesse Arries er, they are all in there. Maybe you need to upgrade your speaker system.

I think he's on to something. I have had my Juno for less than a month, and the piano sounds don't sound neatly as good as here. I have $200 Edifier speakers, but it doesn't sound as good on headphones either. I have tried everything from adding more chorus/reverb to adding more resonance, changing filter cutoff, using the super layer feature, etc, and it still sounds a bit muddy and not nearly as clear and crisp as on this demo.

Ivan have you tried eq ing it? If you hit the function key till it moves to the bottom row, the default function of the knobs is eq. A little tweak can make a big difference to the sound.

Thank you so much, Music Islife. I did what you wrote about and noticed that if I set the low frequency gain to something like +4dB and the mid-freq gain at 2000Hz and 5000Hz to about +3dB and +4dB, respectively, the grand piano preset starts sounding so much livelier. I also went into the effects edit for the grand piano patch and increased the reverb amount from 40+ to 70+. I saved this as a user preset and like it so much better now. Shame that the EQ settings can't be saved along with the preset data, but at least these knobs are so easy to twiddle/change. Now, if there only was some sort of a keyboard-wide MONO/POLY setting on the Juno so that I wouldn't have to change all these synth presets from mono to poly, that would be so much nicer. I get it that some synth leads are meant to be played monophonic with portamento, but I think Roland made too many of them like that, making the synth category the least usable of them all on this keyboard. I am just putting all this out there because I really struggled whether to buy the Juno DS or Korg Kross 2. And I am still unsure if I made the right decision or not.

Ivan no problem, I'm glad you got that figured out :) You will probably find you will have to adjust the eq for each different situation you are in, I.e, playing alone, different monitors, playing with a band, in different rooms or on different stages etc. every situation sounds a little different, so I find I adjust the ex a lot. I'm with you on the buying decision though. It's a good board for the money but I get frustrated with it. I play a lot of organ sounds in my band and I think I should have got something with drawbars and I find navigating the Juno a nightmare. It's not the most intuitive thing to use :/

yes, and you can dupe any patches you may need that are not onboard, and if you think you need more warmth, crank up that "Analogue Feel" (oscillator drift) and load up an EQ insert (there's a master EQ, too, in System settings) and tweak away

No. Organ action

Tom O Dwyer. I was disappointed with the sound of the Juno 61 through the keyboard amps and studio monitors at the music store and ended up getting an Electro Voice ZLX 12 powered speaker which has 2 inputs and and a mixer. I don't need 2 speakers for stereo because I use it like a keyboard amp. Sounds good through EV if you mess around with the mixer.

Tom O Dwyer I would recommend studio headphones. Do your research to find a good pair.

yes

Yes

yes, it does.

u sellin the older one??

direct outputs in the back, retailers typically don't have a speaker + mic setup between the product and whatever recording gear they use, it's just a very bad idea and hurts sound quality

fds fdsfd of course mate is a keyboard not a midi controller

@@rodnejean9880 it is a midi controller too
