Feature:
Unlike many other synths in its class the juno d has a built in D beam which allowes you to control waves just by moving your hand plus it also has a pitch bend and modulation lever and 5 knobs. it has General MIDI 2 whitch allowes you to connect it to other MIDI synths and kerboards and comes with very good editing software for your P.C.

Quality:
The juno D consistes of hard plastic sides and the frount and rear pannal is made of one of the toughest metals iv ever come across. It has never failed to compleate a task iv set it and i think is capable of lasting longer than any of the other Junos and that takes some beating!!!!

Value:
With the juno d you get a lot of sounds and power for your mony. Over in the U.K its typical price is

Feature:
didnt come with a damper pedal

Quality:
i have owned ONLY Roland products and wouldnt buy anything else

Value:
cant imagine a better bang for your hard earned dollar

Sound:
passable grand piano voice, when tweaked.....love the gp/synth patch

Ease of Use:
the best way to learn to use the many aspects of this box is to just play it.......manual very user friendly

Support:
quick return time for all questions

Overall:
very satisfied....compliments my RD 300 SX very nicely

Feature:
I had an old roland xp-10 with lots of limited capabilitys but i missed some arpeggio functions on the juno d that i actually enjoyed on the xp-10.But at the sametime the juno d offer some levels of flexibility such as upper or lower or both...All the perfomance controls are very good and they are programmable for live performance which i stress on when i am looking for a synthesizer!

Quality:
My old xp-10 was very plastic on the other the juno d which bear resemblance to the xp-10 seems less plastic.But it look fairly small but powerfull at the same time

Value:
Best for the price! cheap but very good sound quality and Good controls!

Desirability:
Look is very deceiving but man its just small for a 61 keys!

Sound:
This is a nice alternative to the juno g!Good sound collection. Need to check out a few demos on youtube there quiet a few interesting users or fan of the juno d!I like it because it still offer alot for a basic synth expecially the 47 effetcs and the ability to modify your tones or patch live!Very flexible control and nice rhodes collection all sort of electric pianos!The organs are killers...nice screaming b3 emulations!Oh...and the string collection especially those with different attacks are very convincing some are so rich in texture i just fell in love with them!!The only minus is the saxophone instrument but i guess im not a sax player so its all about taste!Most of the sounds fit my personal requirement for r&b blues and jazz music!Its very cool for a low budget keyboard.

Ease of Use:
It is very easy to get around this board in general and if you are new to digital synthesizer its pretty good to know about basic synthesis!

Support:
i have'nt dealt with Roland company but i guess they are there to assiat in case of problems!

Overall:
If i had a chance i would definitely go for a juno g which seems to me on the very affordable price range!

Feature:
This keyboard is a godsend for the poor keyboard player. As a keyboard player who doesn't use much sampling or sequencing, especially not at a live show, i didn't want to pay an extra grand for features i would not use, so the Juno-d was exactly what i needed. No bells and whistles, but not that limited in and of itself. also, it has a pitch joystick rather than a wheel, and for me at least, that is absolutely necessary.

Quality:
the chassis is aluminum which is nice in that this keyboard is light as hell but you don't have to worry that if it takes a bump or two all is lost. the knobs are cheap plastic and wobble a bit, but not so that they're in danger of falling off in random places. Mine survived 4 years of constant use at all different kinds of shows.

Value:
this keyboard is priced for exactly what it offers. It's real value is that to the right player, it offers exactly what that player wants without having them pay for anything extra.

Desirability:
this is a nice keyboard. it's not that flashy, but it is not something that one feels embarrassed about pulling out of it's case. not too many blinky lights or fancy colors, but it's more of the tall dark and handsome type anyway.

Sound:
This keyboard packs a hell of a lot of decent presets which offer just enough tweakability that you can effectively create your own sound without getting cluttered up in electronic red tape... the piano sound is really good for a keyboard at this price range, the organs and electric piano sounds are both varied and dynamic, and it's synth sounds pack some umph without getting too cheesy. Really versatile.

Ease of Use:
since there aren't that many bells and whistles, this keyboard is hella easy to use. it's controls are pretty straight forward, and the interface is not so involved as to lose one's spot. with a basic knowledge of effects and filters, you can master the tweakability options as well.

Overall:
My Juno-d broke after four years of constant use and abuse. i almost cried when i finally junked it. and now, i think i am going to buy another one, this keyboard worked for me so well.

Feature:
It comes with a software for edition, nice!

Quality:
Well as you can see is very handsome :) It is the most beautyful thing iin my room! It looks very firm metal chasis looks like can handle everything, the knobs are strongest than it looks in the photo...

Value:
Its very good for the price!

Desirability:
As i said before it is nice, i do like it!

Sound:
The sounds are great!! the guitars are awesome!!! pianos are good... editing is good too!

Support:
No need

Overall:
well i expect to buy anything better in a few years... but while you are learning this is the bridge to "professionalism"

Feature:
no sequencer, no sampler... actually, i want it... i think that's worthy with 450$ when i bought it...

Quality:
very good with black metal casing,..

Value:
this the cheap synthesizer but i think it sounds better than any k*rg synthesizer in class

Sound:
i'm a beginner synth player... the sounds are very enough for me... the piano sounds well, the string sounds good, but the synth sounds dark... not bright...

Ease of Use:
it's very very easy to compose sound... the five modifier knobs are very useful... that's the one of juno d's special,..

Overall:
i don't feel dissapointed buying this one... thanks roland!!

Feature:
-Chord play is cool! It allows you to assign cords to each note of the octave. -Phrase play is neat, but I lack the ability to create my own. I guess it's good as a source of inspiration. Just throw in a few phrases when composing to see how well the sound fits in. -Arpeggio is ok, seen better, seen worse ;) -D-Beam is nice to have, but I haven't used it much so far

Value:
It's a great entry level synth and a certainly for it's price a good source of inspiration. Composing on another machine (both pc and synth), I just turn on the Juno-D and look for a sound that would fit, jam a bit, and then record the sound or model it on another device.

Desirability:
It's a black slim case, not too heavy. Very portable. I guess that's ok

Sound:
The factory sets could use a little more punch, but they are a good starting point. The main is issue with this is probably the effect settings that should be applied more generously. However, it is certainly possible on the machine. It really has this out of the box feel, but after a while you'll know that there is more in and into it ;)

Overall:
It's a synth that will remain useful for a few years. I would not recommend as the main synth, though. But for it's price its ok. I use it together with Reason with a midi controller and a Korg N264.

Feature:
It is really great, but a sustain knob would be great. Also different type of filters would be desirable. Like Hp, Lp filters

Quality:
Well constructed. Hard stuff

Value:
Really cheap stuff.

Desirability:
I have it, so that means that i wanted it!!

Sound:
Very good sounds. Obviously, because of the name, we would like some Juno 106 Patches, but it has really good sounds; from pianos, to crazy hardlead synts

Ease of Use:
Really easy to use. Everything is well organized

Support:
Havent needed support

Overall:
Really good synthesiser, but it needs a little more "tweaks"

Feature:
Well, it has all the outs \ polyphony \ midi stuff you'd get with a base level "pro" keyboard. Just keep in mind that this thing has virtually no bells or whistles. Again, it's pretty much a Casio keyboard with a joystick & midi controller features.

Quality:
Seems alright. Keys seem a tiny bit small.

Value:
I got mine off e-bay for $399. For $599 - I just don't think I could do it. There's not one "great" sound on here. Note: my only experience before this is analog synths & casio keyboards - so maybe I was expecting too much.

Desirability:
I'm not giving up on it because it seems to be good as a midi controller and is forcing me to get better with my software sequencer (fruity loops) mostly because of its limitations. Hidden blessing.

Sound:
Quasi-decent synth leads & pad sorts of sounds (unless you have limited talent lol because then you'll be doomed to re-creating the Beverly Hills Cops song with this thing), passable piano & EP sounds, but most everything else just sucks (you might like an organ sound or two). You can't make your own drum set out of on-board samples that you like - all you can do is change the pitch & effect settings on existing sets. So, if you want 5 alterations of a particular kick you like (in different pitches \ cutoffs) - so sorry. In my opinion, there are Casio keyboards that have sounds as good as this. Strings are bad - guitar & world instruments are hilarious.

Ease of Use:
It's pretty easy to use I guess.

Support:
n/a

Overall:
Well, I'm not returning it I guess. Not sure what I'd get instead.

Feature:
the guitar patch almost ok except to distorted coz sounds like videoke..and pls put monolead..

Quality:
quality contorl is not totally reliable..i had one but something happen from the keys and joystik bender..was not working suddenly..i been used this unit fro only 6moths

Value:
yes its to cheap as a pro keyboard

Desirability:
handsome!

Sound:
well,for me juno D has a good body,analog buttons,size,specially the synths..but im kinduh not satisfied w/ the piano mostly the grand piano..sounds like,SLIM or not fat like ''wurly or rodes''...so i wish for them,. to put some better piano patch next time like RD700 series..tnx

Ease of Use:
so easy to play..

Overall:
ahhm,i play any kind of music..but the kind of music that i playing now (alternative,rock ,prog)i think this product can help me a lot..again,specially the synths.. tnx, carlokaktooz (philppines)
