Professional recording artist and musician

The absolutely best value in musical keyboards by far, far, far and away today. Its sounds are just as professional as any other professional board out there and all 1300 of its sounds are brought to you for an amazing price.

The features on this board are amazing for the price. With 1300 sound patches, a midi controller, a menu option to edit and save 127 favorites, and options to record and save song data not only within the board but also on a backup usb card device, and 5 dials to immediately while in play the reverb, attack, cutoff, resonance, and release, and a laser beam light volume controller to use while in play or the "D" Beam controller, this board is absolutely amazing. It can make you a better player while playing it. I have never before owned a keyboard with over a thousand sound patches before and it is a momentous advantage to finally own a board that does, and for its price, with all that it is completely unmatched by any other board right now. It even has a cd that comes with it that allows you to edit the non rewritable sounds in the board in you computer and you can save them there like with the professional synths that cost thousands of dollars.

It is very very very easy to use indeed.

I give the quality a 9 out of 10 because it is mad with remarkable resilient and tough and very light synthetic plastic. I think only keyboards made of real wood or metal that are much much heavier could be said to be a 10 in construction quality, but this one's not far behind those at all. And just a idea I just had here but I notice that all of the very old, aged, but still very highly damage free keyboards on all those old Hammond Organs many of which are nearing 45 years old and older have their keys manufactured in much lighter plastic than the keys and body of this board. Many a Hammond B3 Organ out there are still in use with very thin hollow keys after all these years and if they can last that long with proper care, so too this board should be able to do.

There just is no better valued keyboard out there at the moment that offers the stunningly impressive professional array of features and conveniences that this board has for the price. I know that if this board were made by any other manufacturer just a few short years ago it would have sold for thousands of dollars for sure and not just for $699.00. Best deal out there for the money.

I haven't owned it long enough to need customer support, but other roland keyboards that I have owned for 6 years now I have never needed to call customer support for what so ever.

I think it is a very appealing product indeed. It is a pleasure to look at, I really like its colors that highlight the control panel, and being a primarily black colored instrument does make it very handsome; the LED screen is easy to read, it feel great while playing it as well.

The only reason I give it a 9 instead of a 10 is that I haven't heard the more expensive Roland synths,so I'll leave it open.But the sounds from this keyboard are fantastic.Piano,organ,electric piano,strings and vocal pads are all amazing.Some of the string pads almost brought tears to my eyes.It also sound great through a good set of headphones.

Same as above,all features are useful,I haven't scratched the surface yet.

Very easy to use and get around on.You just have to take some time and dial in the settings you prefer.

It seems well built and reliable,not overly heavy.Hopefully the key mechanisms will last for a while.

For the price of what you get,it's a great value.

I'll give it a 5 only because it's unknown.I haven't had a problem and never had to contact Roland.

I also play bass and acoustic guitar,but always wanted a nice synthesizer keyboard.I know Roland always had a good reputation.

Playing for around 30 years.Bass guitar,acoustic and electric guitar,keyboards.Play in a weekend gig band and at home.

Great sounds. I was expecting something diffrent but this is just as good if not better. Using a M-audio Fast track to record into fl studio.

Doesnt come with the sound accesories (such as a USB cable or a 1/4 cord) but after i got the other cords and plugged it up it was all good.

Took me about a week to get use to the basics and im still learning about it.

Ive had no problems with it in anyway. the keys are diffrent from a normal piano but i got used to it really quick.

Pretty good for the price. the software it comes with (Juno-di editor/librarian) doesnt work for windows 7 but the actual synth is pretty much worth it. this is my first synth but i wish it had been a little cheaper.

Havent had any problems with it so i never had to contact them. everything i needed to know was in the manual. this is my first synth so i had to read it a few times to understand what it was saying.

everything is easily accessible and the buttons are clearly labeled. not the most interesting synth but it not ugly. just plain black red and blue

The features are easy to use and there are many of them. Way less complicated than other keyboard setups.

Very easy to modify to get the sound you want.

The frame of the Juno is very strong and sturdy, I think it is metal, as opposed to some keyboards that are made of cheap plastic.

I am told that this is a great keyboard for everyone from beginners to professionals.

I have no basis for judgement.

Very sexy, great feel, great looks, easy to get a great sound out of it ;)

I Love the sound. I use it in a small digital home studio. The horns and guitars are pretty realistic sounding though not all of them through the full range of the keyboard,Love the basses!

It came with just a power cord and you will need a 1/4 jack. This board comes with a lot of features especially for the price, recording and effects etc. I like the way the instruments are organized in categories which helps in searching through the many choices.Much more to explore yet.

I was recording music 10 minutes out of the box,maybe I'll slow down enough to see what else it can do. Haven't really even opened the manual yet.

Plastic and lightweight but seems well made, I woudn't drop it and on the road I would keep it in a solid case.All the control knobs operate smoothly.

I did a lot of research before I bought this and I think this is the best board for the money.

Haven't needed them

Its a keyboard.

Responds awesome for a small keyboard. Sounds are a bit dated but many usable especially if you like the classic Roland synth sound. If you need motion synthesis add a synth modular. One switch will get you between playing outboard synth and playing on board synth.

I like that it is many things in one. I create a song in Logic, create an audio file, drop that on a USB flash drive, plug in to the DI and your off with original backing tracks minus a bulky computer or other device. I plug my guitar processor output into the extra input. With the mic in addition to all that you can be a solo performer with ease. My whole rig can operate battery powered.

Still guesswork and trial and error with Roland manuals even after all these years, at least it's better. Translators don't always know the best way to say something.

Seems solid, yet light as cheap portable keyboards.

Good but, it would not have cost too much more to add an expression pedal input.

Have not dealt with.

I could make music without this but my live rig would need to be a whole lot bigger. Integration is key with this baby. I bought it even though I have a wall of synths already because it makes my life easy.
