The Roland JUNO-X is a programmable polyphonic synthesizer that builds on Roland's JUNO series with the ZEN-Core Synthesis System. It includes a newly developed JUNO-X Model with a Super Saw oscillator, velocity sensitivity and Chorus III effect. It also has Models of the 1980s JUNO-60 and JUNO-106 synths, plus sounds from the XV-5080, RD-series pianos and Roland's classic vocoder.
The hands-on panel is inspired by historic JUNO synths and has high-resolution knobs and sliders. Sounds are organized in Scenes. A traditional arpeggiator and the I-Arpeggio, which uses intelligent algorithms, are both included. The 61-note keyboard has aftertouch.
A user slot loads Model Expansions from Roland Cloud, such as the JUPITER-8, JD-800 and Vocal Designer. Roland Cloud Connect lets you browse and load Model Expansions and Sound Packs over Wi-Fi. Ten free Sound Packs are available from Roland Cloud with purchase. The free JUNO-X Editor software runs on macOS and Windows. The synth has onboard stereo speakers and Bluetooth audio support. It also has a USB audio/MIDI interface and a USB Memory port for backing up data to a flash drive.
