It also excels in teaching labs and other music education environments. Easy to carry and easy to use, the JUNO-DS61 is filled with great Roland sounds for any style or genre, and versatile battery or AC operation gives you the flexibility to play anytime and anywhere.
    Top-Quality Pianos, Organs, and More
    Acoustic pianos, electric pianos, and organs are bread and butter for most performing keyboardists. In the JUNO-DS61, the pianos have been newly enhanced with improved sound and response, and there are even more organs to choose from. In addition to this new DS Tone Bank, the instrument includes the entire 1000-plus sound set from the previous-generation JUNO-Di, and patches from that keyboard are fully compatible with the JUNO-DS61.

    Enhanced Editing and Hands-On Controls
    One thing that's made the JUNO series a players' favorite is its instant-access design, which makes it easy to call up fantastic sounds right away. But if you like to dig in and customize, the JUNO-DS61 now offers even more adjustable parameters than before, allowing you to tweak patches and performances with detailed precision. 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.

    Wave Expansion Slot for Adding New Sounds
    To complement its impressive onboard sound set, the JUNO-DS61 supports internal waveform expansion via USB for unlimited tonal range. Over 1000 EXP sounds are available for free download at Roland's Axial website, including top-quality acoustic piano collections, world instruments, go-to studio standards, percussion, loops, and more. If don't find what you need there, it's even possible to load in WAV files from your personal library and play them from the keyboard! Out of the box, the JUNO-DS61 comes with the versatile EXP-06 Studio Collection preloaded in the wave expansion slot.

    Phrase Pads for Triggering Songs and Samples
    With the JUNO-DS61'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.

    Mic Input with Vocoder and Auto Pitch
    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 big fun too, allowing you to sing into a mic and control the tone and pitch via sounds played on the keyboard.

    Eight-Track Pattern Sequencer
    When you have an idea for a song or beat, you can easily capture and develop it with the onboard pattern sequencer. The intuitive, non-stop operation won't interrupt your creative flow, letting you build up full arrangements with multiple sounds in no time. The sequencer is also perfect for enhancing live performances with pre-made backing music and on-the-fly looping.

    Music Production Partner
    The JUNO-DS61 is not only great on stage--it works great for computer music production as well. 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-DS61's front panel.

    Product Overview
    The Roland JUNO-DS61 digital synth is an awesome update to the Juno-D and Juno-Di keyboards, giving you a huge range of sounds and functionality for modern live performance and studio work. The Juno-DS sports 61 velocity-sensitive keys that feel solid and comfortable to play, as well as eight "Phrase Pads" that can trigger anything you need for your show -- single-hit sounds, extended samples, even entire songs. One of the biggest improvements in this model is in the piano and organ sounds, part of over 1000 sounds that come stock with the keyboard. From there, you can build your own custom patches and expand further with the Wave Expansion Slot. Add to this an 8-track sequencer, a killer vocoder, and an integrated USB interface and you've got an awesome keyboard that's built for today's performers and studio musicians.
