I’ve always been somewhat annoyed with Roland regurgitating storied product names and them slapping them onto uninspiring instruments, but this one is especially galling.
This is the 3rd Roland video I've seen from Namm that is putting me to sleep. They used to innovate, now they release the same rompler style keyboard over and over with very minor differences. Ed is a good dude though and very loyal to them, shout out Ed.
but Juno-D does 7 with an insert per part, you can only use 3 inserts max with the DS, ignoring master reverb, delay, and EQ in both cases, arguably an advantage but to each his own, I'm sticking with my DS61
It is at least not a computer such as a PC. Roland (as Yamaha) use and create their own chips (BMC @ Roland). And like any modern industry where specific software development is involved, it's all about specialized hardware with standardized software.
Why does Roland always make half-baked cheap keyboard… what would it cost to have 8+1 faders, and 4x4 pads, a larger touchscreen display? It would maybe cost a $100 more but it would make the keyboard so much more usable, not just for beginners…
What is Roland even doing? At least Korg, despite not being exactly groundbreaking, gave the people the Kronos back. Could you imagine if the Nautilus was the synth they called the Kronos 3? Roland needs to read the room. What a sad state of the once-king of synths. I'd pay $10k for an authentic Jupiter 8 reissue, Roland.
The name Juno does not have a direct translation in Japanese, but it may refer to the Roman goddess Juno, who was the queen of the heavens and the wife of Jupiter. The Juno-6 and Juno-60 were released as more affordable alternatives to the Jupiter 8!
@leftmono1016 apologies if it came across as snarky. But for better or worse this is a modern equivalent. There are folks out there making modern analog gear that's similar to the old Junos in terms of sound and architecture, but they're niche products and relatively pricey (though the Dreadbox Nymphes isn't too bad on that front).
@@_mickmccarthy - no apology needed. I’m a fan of the old Roland analog synths. Behringer’s Pro800 fills my current needs for an analog polysynth. The Nymphes does sound nice too.
I don't think the dozen Juno romplers have much in common with that antique analogue besides being able to mimic it up to a point. All are lower-cost alternatives to more upscale Roland products.
@@Jason75913 well , since you're jumping in to defend Roland in the comments....what do you have to say about only stereo outputs ? Seems very limiting for professional users.
@@zdave6083 since I'm not jumping in to shitpost, I have to say that you should consider that entry-level keyboards have only come with one set of stereo line outputs, or one mono, in one or more cases. The Korg X50 was mono.
This is why I like Roland stuff, coz they just sound fricking nice.
Ed and Nick… two absolute legends!!!
❤❤❤
Shout out to Ed. I can't imagine how much hard work goes into demonstrating at a trade show like this.
Love Ed, he taught me to use my RD88 piano, thanks to the YT official tutorial
Love to hear that the videos helped you!!! It means a lot!!! ❤
@@EdDiazKeys Thank you for the answer. Will you come in France this year? Hope I ll meet you one day..
No interruption of the sound when you change patch/sound. Nice! Every manufacturer should do this. Access Music did it with the TI 20 years ago.
I wish more software synthesizers did that. But you're hurting my brain to think the TI was 20 years ago. That was the new model too.
@@MidnightBlueMetallic Yeah, age is coming in hard lol
Im pretty sure even the Ensoniq ESQ even did that.. VFX did...even the EPS sampler !

Indeed, how dare they slap the name of their budget synth line on their budget synths!
love Ed 🎹
❤❤❤
Class compliant USB audio. So it is iOS compatible? Does it have an USB loopback off setting?
Can SDZ and EXZ expansions be loaded on this the Juno D when subscribing to Roland Cloud, or can you only load purchased licensed expansions on to it?
Definitely looking forward to adding this, but I'm curious why it's been limited. to only 8 parts? Is there any technical reason behind that?

This one is extra special because it's environmentally friendly! 🤪😘😆😂
With the Juno DS you can layer 16 sounds instead of just 7. Why Roland?
but Juno-D does 7 with an insert per part, you can only use 3 inserts max with the DS, ignoring master reverb, delay, and EQ in both cases, arguably an advantage
but to each his own, I'm sticking with my DS61
"like a laptop" i would like to see the internals, it probably runs on linux or qnx like a prophet x. it's a computer not a synth

Ed's cool

6:13 wowzaaaaa 😂!
Scene Remain - sounds like Korg Kronos.
This isn’t much like my old Juno 60 😔
Sure it is. It's a budget synth from Roland. That's what the Juno line always has been.
@ - haha yes, I begrudgingly see your point.

Roland doing what they do best: disappointing people
That's why the predecessor Juno-DS keyboard was the best seller alongside the Yamaha MODX?
Watch all those Juno DS owners trading up their instruments for the newer Juno D because Roland are now being environmentally friendly! 😂😆😘🤪
I always switch off as soon as I hear the immensely irritating phrase “go ahead” liberally used
Okay, another flimsy keyboard that plays Zencore software.
minus the flimsiness
