User questions & answers

Question:	is there a bag made for this? or something that comes close? all the keyboard bag I saw are around 15" in width, while the keyboard is 12 any recomm
Answer:	Yes, it has enough area capacity for second monitor,the dimensions of the desktop are about 15.7 x 35.8 inches
Question:	Does this keyboard have drum patterns
Answer:	I am sorry that I don't understand your question. The keyboard tray is fixed and can only be removed using a screw driver. There is a part of the keyboard tray ( about 4 inches)which is under the desk. I think the purpose of this is to save space. If the tray is movable, it would be great. But I only pay $99.99 for a 36-inch desk so I have no complaint about that. Overall I am satisfied with it for the quality and price.

The Mobile Synth For Ambitious New Musicians

Life moves fast as an upcoming musician or ambitious new band. When you’re racing between rehearsals, sessions and shows, you don’t have time to spend with a bulky, complex synth that’s difficult to use. The Roland JUNO-DS61 is the ultra-portable modern synth that can keep up with your band life. Lightweight, compact and powerful, this 61-note instrument is always ready to go, with easy operation and instant access to pro onboard sounds that let you create or perform music anywhere from street to studio. The JUNO-DS61 is the easiest way to start playing a keyboard with the band, with the flexibility to continue supporting you as your music progresses.

Travel like a guitarist

If you want your band to get noticed, you need to get out there. Whatever you’ve got in the diary, the JUNO-DS61’s compact size and 11.7lb weight means it’s easy to transport, load in and set up, so you’ll never have to turn down a career-making gig across town, miss a vital band rehearsal or arrive late to a recording session. As a modern musician, you’ll do most of your recording on a home computer using a DAW – and the JUNO-DS61 has everything you need, no extra gear required. With optional battery operation for street performance, and a mic input that lets you create pro vocals without external gear, the JUNO-DS61 is ready for every scenario the music industry can throw at you.

Create your signature sound with ease instantly

Some synths make you stick with the factory settings, which can leave your music sounding generic – but the JUNO-DS61 is wide open. The instant-access design lets you call up pro sounds in seconds. Even if this is your first synth, it’s simple to dig into an array of adjustable parameters and create your own voice. Select the performance mode and you can set up advanced sounds like layering strings onto the acoustic piano, or assigning organ and bass to your right and left hands respectively. Create and tweak patches, shape sounds during a song with hands-on controls, and connect expression pedals via the rear panel to take your performance to the next level.

Stand out from the crowd with unique vocal effects

If you’re a solo performer or singer/songwriter, you’ll love the JUNO-DS61’s mic input, which lets you get great vocal sounds without having to carry around extra gear. There’s a dedicated vocal reverb, plus Auto Pitch for singing with the “stepped” electronic vocal effect popular in today’s music. The built-in vocoder is inspirational too, allowing you to sing into a mic and control the tone and pitch via sounds played on the keyboard. If you want to jam but don’t have bandmates available, you can add instant beats under your keyboard parts using the JUNO-DS61’s eight Phrase Pads, or copy audio data (MP3/WAV) to the USB memory and play along with full-band backing.

Keep your music up-to-date with free downloadable sounds

The JUNO-DS61’s onboard sounds and editing capabilities are just the beginning. This modern instrument also supports internal waveform expansion via USB, bringing the best synth sounds from the web into your performance. Use the versatile EXP-06 Studio Collection preloaded in the wave expansion slot, then choose your favorites from over 1000 EXP patches available for free download at Roland’s Axial website. You’ll find top-quality acoustic piano collections, world instruments, go-to studio standards, percussion, loops – it’s even possible to load in WAV files from your own sound library. And the free JUNO-DS librarian software lets you manage all these sound patches using your computer.

FANTOM 8 Creation

At every turn, FANTOM fulfills the need to create. Its smooth, rapid workflow has no confusing modes, frustrating technical limits, or trade-offs with sound quality. FANTOM’s creative process reflects how today’s musicians work, with fluid composition tools, instantly recallable creative environments, and deep computer integration.

Connectivity

While FANTOM is powerful by itself, its powers grow exponentially when connected to other gear like computers or analog synthesizers. FANTOM can control software synthesizers directly from the touchscreen, drive modular and analog synthesizers from its dual CV/Gate outputs, and is also a high-quality audio interface capable of 16 stereo outputs and 3 stereo inputs.

No modes. Just seamless workflow.

When the creative juices are flowing, there should be no barriers. With FANTOM, you won’t compromise your sound or suffer workarounds due to outdated technical limits. And forget worrying about what features work in which mode. FANTOM is always in full-on creative mode and your workflow stays consistent, no matter what.

Make a scene.

When you’re ready to create, so is FANTOM—and all it takes is a single touch. Your sounds, patterns, and performance layouts are arranged into custom creative spaces called Scenes. A Scene can be an entire song, section of a song, or a starting point with your favorite sounds laid out just how you like. Scenes can be chained together and changed instantly with no gaps or glitches.

One Engine. Infinite Possibilities.

Our custom Behavior Modeling Core processors enable FANTOM’s smooth and precise control, loads of polyphony, and full patch remain. You can combine soft synths with FANTOM’s internal sounds and there’s a fully routable analog filter for extra warmth and grit. You can even sample your own sounds and trigger up to 2 GBs worth of loops and one-shots from the pad matrix.

Go ahead. Express yourself.

There are many ways to play expressively on keyboards. Some players like levers, some like wheels, some prefer pedals, while others prefer aftertouch. With FANTOM, you can use any of them—or all of them. You can even connect USB controllers to any of FANTOM’s three USB ports for enhanced expression.

Computer expert

FANTOM doesn’t just work with computers—it fully integrates. It’s a high-quality 16x3 stereo audio interface and can control DAWs and plugins from its touchscreen. It can integrate soft synths into Scenes, and send parts composed on FANTOM directly to your DAW.

The Piano is Key.

Considered by many as the king of instruments, piano sits at the heart of the creative process for composers across a range of musical genres. FANTOM uses our V-Piano technology for pianos that don’t just sound real, they feel real. Craft pianos that play and respond like their acoustic counterparts and match your personal taste.

High-res, hands-on control.

FANTOM has plenty of knobs and sliders for intuitive and immediate control, with high-resolution for buttery-smooth sweeps and fine adjustments. There’s a dedicated synthesizer section with oscillator, filter, and envelope controls, along with numerous buttons and pads for triggering and sequencing.

From spark to fire.

Different musical genres need diverse production styles and specialized tools. You can create patterns on FANTOM in a variety of ways including real and step-time polyphonic sequencing, or the TR-REC pattern sequencer—perfect for rhythmic parts—as used on our iconic drum machines.

With the MC-101’s wide range of pro effects, your music sounds polished and fully produced. Each track has independent effects processors with a huge number of variations. Lush chorus brings depth to pads and other synth sounds. Delays and reverbs create evocative spaces and add movement to delicate sequences. Overdrive, distortion, and amp simulation inject grit and intensity into synths, guitars, drums and more.

JUPITER-X

Since the release of the JUPITER-4 in 1978, the name JUPITER has marked the pinnacle of Roland sound and playability. Roland synthesizers with the JUPITER name carry our most advanced sound technologies, are supremely playable, and are built from premium materials.

JUPITER-X combines classic Roland design and premium build quality with a powerful new synth engine. It faithfully recreates sought-after instruments from our long history of genre-defining sounds. And with multiple layers, loads of polyphony, and deep hands-on control, you can craft huge, spacious sounds that have as much sparkle as they have warmth and punch.

Iconic synthesizer with legendary sound and design.

The 61-key JUPITER-X is the peak of Roland sound quality and design. Its all-metal build uses premium materials throughout, and the all-new aftertouch-enabled keyboard is the best we’ve ever made. A familiar layout and large array of controls let you dig in and easily shape your sounds, whether you’re composing in the studio or performing on stage.

Classic analog to vintage digital. And beyond.

JUPITER-X is equipped with our latest sound engine, capable of morphing into legendary synths from our long history of genre-defining sounds. It’s so flexible that it can reproduce our highly sought-after analog classics like the JUPITER-8, JUNO-106, and SH-101, as well as digital machines like the vintage XV-5080 and modern RD pianos. You also get the many Roland drum machines that are the foundation of electronic and dance music like the TR-808, TR-909, CR-78, and more. It’s like a studio full of vintage gear, with modern capabilities and a deep synth engine so you can explore unmapped sonic territory.

Intelligent. Inspiring.

Need something wonderful, fast? JUPITER-X’s I-Arpeggio is a next generation arpeggiator that uses artificial intelligence to not just accompany you, but to inspire you. I-Arpeggio takes your input—notes, rhythms, phrases—and creates complementary drum parts, basslines, chords, and arpeggiated lines. It works on each of JUPITER-X’s five parts simultaneously, and generated patterns can be customized and even exported to your DAW. These aren’t canned backing tracks—they’re intelligently generated beats and phrases that energize live performance and pulverize writer’s block.

Find the sweet spots.

In addition to its informative display, JUPITER-X has a huge array of large, comfortable knobs, sliders, and buttons. They feel sturdy and precise for incredibly smooth sweeps and subtle changes. And with the dedicated effects section and quick switching between synth layers, you can immediately take control of any aspect of a sound. This kind of natural, hands-on control gives you the feeling of reaching in and touching the sound, shaping it to find just the right settings for the moment.

The power of polyphony.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why does this cost almost double the list price
Answer:	yes
Question:	Is this unit monophonic or polyphonic
Answer:	There is a port in the back for headphones or speakers. It really doesn't need more volume if you intend to use it at home. I find that the volume control on the piano itself is more than enough for home use.
Question:	Can i use a usb power supply on this? no way i am going to keep feeding it batteries, and it is staying in the studio anyway. tia
Answer:	No. You can only use Bluetooth to connect it to Roland’s app or other Bluetooth midi enabled apps like Garageband
Question:	Can you connect a tb-03 unit to a k25m keyboard? does doing that do anything for you
Answer:	Yes, the FP-10 ships with a foot pedal.

Roland TR drum machines have impacted music for over 40 years—and they're as influential now as ever. Based on the much-loved TR-8S, the compact and affordable TR-6S has the same speaker-pummelling, window-rattling, body-moving sound of its bigger sibling.

All the sounds and more

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be used as a Midi controller as well
Answer:	As of 12-2015, this keyboard comes with Ableton Live Lite. Not sure when the change was.
Question:	I have watched some impressive videos with this thing that leave me wondering.. Just how long can your sequences be
Answer:	It is not weighted.
Question:	For the same price as the korg minilogue, i'm torn between the two. do the features of this enable it to sound as smooth and less dubsteppy
Answer:	Honestly it's much better than anything else I could find. Solid build and the keys are great, other keys have a cheap feel but the keys on the A300 are much higher quality. The body has some weight on it but that's what makes it sturdy.
Question:	i just bought a Roland juno ds-88 and wonder if sounds can be downloaded into the juno
Answer:	One comment talking about "shorty keys" is inaccurate. These keys are standard size keys for a synth keyboard. Maybe the person complaining about the "short keys" was looking for piano-sized keys in a Synth.
