Is the JUNO-D good for live gigs?

Yes. It is light and compact for a 61-key board, and the panel knobs and sliders give quick access to the sounds you need on stage. The pitch bend/mod lever is the classic Roland design.

How many voices can it play at once?

64 voices of polyphony across 16 parts. That covers most band and solo playing, but dense layered patches and sustained chords can run out.

Can I plug a microphone into it?

Yes. There is a mic input with a dedicated noise suppressor, EQ, reverb and compressor, plus vocoder and auto-pitch effects for vocal performances.

Does it have a sequencer?

Yes. An 8-track pattern sequencer lets you build song ideas and on-the-fly backing tracks, with 342 phrase and arpeggio templates to start from.

What sounds does it include?

706 patches: 450 JUNO-D originals and 256 General MIDI 2 sounds, plus 20 rhythm sets. There are 47 multi-effect types with 8 reverb and 8 chorus types.

Is it a good first synthesizer?

It suits players who want many sounds and fast controls rather than deep programming. The small two-line display makes heavy editing slower, so check whether you need a larger screen.

Our take on the Roland JUNO-D synthesiser keyboard

The Roland JUNO-D is a 61-key velocity-sensitive synthesizer built for gigging players and home studios. It carries 706 patches, 20 rhythm sets and 64-voice polyphony, with 47 multi-effects plus separate reverb and chorus sections. A mic input with noise suppressor, EQ, compressor, vocoder and auto-pitch makes it a one-box vocal and keys rig. Against stage pianos and budget workstations it trades deep editing for fast hands-on knobs, sliders and a pitch bend/mod lever, and its light, compact body is the main draw for players who carry their own gear.
