Description

The Roland JUNO-DS88 88-key synthesizer delivers all of the benefits of its predecessor, along with realistic hammer-action keys, improved pianos, additional organs, waveform expansion capability, Phrase Pads, new vocal effects and more. This innovative and intuitive synthesizer puts you in creative command, making it easy to produce exceptional music everywhere you play.

Weighted Keys Provide Authentic Feel

The JUNO-DS88 features 88 weighted-action keys, a first in the long history of the JUNO series. Roland's Ivory Feel-G keyboard with progressive hammer action is an ideal complement to the expressive new piano sounds, providing high-end touch and playability while still keeping the instrument light and mobile.

Enhanced Sound Set With Top-Quality Pianos and Organs

The JUNO-DS88's pianos have been newly enhanced with improved sound and response, and there are even more organs to choose from. In addition to the new DS Tone Bank, the instrument includes the entire 1,000-plus sound set from the previous-generation JUNO-Di and patches from that keyboard are fully compatible with the JUNO-DS88.

Phrase Pads for Triggering Songs and Samples

With the JUNO-DS88's eight Phrase Pads, you can supplement your keyboard performances with samples or music files stored on USB memory. Just load up the pads with whatever you like: one-shot samples, vocals, sound effects, loops or complete music tracks and trigger them with a quick touch when needed.

Powerful Performance and Production Features

The front panel provides an expanded array of hands-on knobs and sliders for creating patches and adjusting sounds as you perform, while the rear panel features jacks for connecting hold and expression pedals at the same time. The integrated USB interface provides a solid front end for a mobile or studio recording setup, allowing you to record MIDI and audio data, including sounds from the mic input. There's even a dedicated DAW Control mode for controlling your music software from the JUNO-DS88's front panel.
