Great Sounds
Roland’s Fantom-X series is a grand-slam hit around
the globe. The Fantom’s high-quality sound engine is a key factor in its
success. The JUNO-G shares the same processor as the Fantom-X, and thus delivers
the finest sound quality on the market — including an 88-note multisampled grand
piano, and a wide range of sounds that span from classical to cutting-edge. You
can further expand your JUNO-G with one of Roland’s SRX expansion boards
(optional).
Audio/MIDI Recorder Onboard
For songwriters and performers, the
JUNO-G’s16-part MIDI sequencer is a must. But the addition of four companion
stereo audio tracks is a huge bonus, and an unexpected surprise for an
instrument in this price range! Now players can lay down the perfect backing
tracks plus vocals, live guitar parts, and the like. The JUNO-G’s dedicated
front-panel transport controls and mixer make the recording experience all the
more friendly.
Inviting Interface
For an instrument packed with so many features,
the JUNO-G offers unprecedented ease of use. The aforementioned mixer and
transport controls are only part of the friendly “hands-on” work surface. It has
clearly labeled buttons, six knobs to modify sounds, five sliders for the audio
section, a data wheel, a D Beam, and a pitch/mod lever. In the center of it all
is the largest backlit LCD of any synth in this price range.
Computer Friendly
The beauty of the JUNO-G is that it can be used
to by itself create complete songs from start to finish, but for those who want
to take it one step further and incorporate a computer into the setup, the
JUNO-G can be linked to a PC or Mac via its USB port. All MIDI communications
can be handled over USB, which can also be used to send and receive WAV/AIF
files and patch data. As an extra computer-related bonus, Roland ships every new
JUNO-G with a copy of Cakewalk’s SONAR LE software for PC.
