Roland Juno GI Mobile 61 Key Synthesizer KeyboardIn the JUNO tradition of great sound, compact design, easy operation, and affordable price, the JUNO GI delivers big. What propels this power-synth into another realm, however, is its supercharged feature set with over 1,300 fresh sounds, an onboard eight-track digital recorder, and pro effects created by BOSS. Write, record, mix, master, and perform anywhere with the JUNO GI. Roland Juno GI Synth Keyboard Features - Over 1,300 high-quality sounds optimized for live performance

Massive Sound Bank An extensive sound library has been created for the JUNO GI, with over 1,300 factory selections that cover a universe of instrument types and musical styles. Tone Category buttons help you scan the vast library and locate the perfect sound with ease and speed. New to the JUNO GI are Live Sets, which comprise up to four layered tones each — create your own unique sounds by stacking and/or splitting tones and saving them together as a Live Set. Furthermore, a Special Live Set section takes maximum advantage of the JUNO-Gi sound engine for the most advanced synth sounds. Performance and Portability The JUNO GI has been designed with the performer in mind. It provides supreme mobility thanks to its lightweight body and battery-power compatibility (up to three hours of continuous operation with eight NiMH AA batteries), letting you experience the freedom of performance in any environment. Roland’s battery-powered amps such as the BA-330 and KC-110 are perfect companions for the JUNO GI during street performances. Performers will also appreciate the JUNO GI’s friendly front panel, which is covered with hands-on controls, clearly marked and easy to reach. The enlarged 240x64 graphic LCD provides clear visibility and fast navigation, even on outdoor gigs with troublesome sun glare. Digital Recording & FX Pro recording onboard! The JUNO GI’s built-in eight-track digital recorder with 64 virtual tracks provides a full-featured multitrack studio environment, complete with dedicated transport controls and mix faders. The recording media is a removable SD or SDHC card, with up to 192 hours of recording time possible when using a single 32GB SDHC card! Also supported is full import and export of track data with a computer. The same pro performance effects found in the BOSS GT series are built into the JUNO GI, as well as effects designed for vocal processing. Connect a guitar or microphone directly and apply these top-quality effects for instant CD-quality sound as you record. USB MIDI & Audio The JUNO GI’s multifunction USB port offers both audio and MIDI functionality — a one-cable connection to your computer is all you need to stream audio and MIDI back and forth and interface with your favorite music software. When you combine the JUNO GI with the bundled Cakewalk Sonar LE 8.5 software, you have a complete digital audio workstation package for your PC. In addition, the MIDI Controller Mode lets you operate the JUNO GI as a MIDI master keyboard for controlling your DAW or external MIDI devices.

| it replaced 2 boards I use to have & it's so light but powerful! |
| Quality |
| Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? |
| It's light but seems durable, seems well made, and sturdy enough. I am surprised, and pleased. |
| Features |
| What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could? |
| I had a Motif 7, and a Roland XP30 - This Juno Gi has everything I miss about selling those in one board. Very happy. Add a modulation wheel instead of the lever, so it can be rolled on and left there. That would be great! |
| Ease of Use |
| How easy is this product to use? How easy is the product to use with other products? Did it take long for you to learn to use this product? Was the manual helpful? How playable do you consider this product to be? |
| like others have said, it is very easy to understand the manuel, and the board is pretty self explanitory, if you've plat a synth before. I do like thhe easy access of 'favorites' buttons. |
| Sound |
| How is its Tone? |
| Sounds Big, like all Rolands do. rich tones and expressive. |
| Action |
| How was the action out of the box? |
| I didn't really like the 'feel' of the keys, I want a little more texture, but the touch sensetivity is , well very sensetive. I have to get use to it and pay attention. Makes me a better player, with more real control of my sound. |

| Juno GI |
| Quality |
| Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? |
| Pretty good so far. Always loved Boss and Roland products. It seems strong and fairly durable, definitely not your cheesy department store " toys keyboards". |
| Features |
| What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could? |
| 1300 sounds, onboard effects, 8-track recorder, d-beam, touch sensitive keys, chord and arpeggio modes for all sounds with full sweeping adjustments, basically everything about it. |
| Ease of Use |
| How easy is this product to use? How easy is the product to use with other products? Did it take long for you to learn to use this product? Was the manual helpful? How playable do you consider this product to be? |
| Very simple. Turn the tone dial or punch in a number. Hit the split button and layer up to 4 sounds each with its own level. Awesome!!!!The recorder takes a little effort getting set up and tweaking, but not too bad once you get familiar with it. |
| Sound |
| How is its Tone? |
| Awesome variety and powerful, rich sounds. Layer and split sound and you can duplicate anything from a 3 piece band to a full symphony. Unbelievable! |
| Action |
| How was the action out of the box? |
| Great keyboard, keys are touch sensitive for most sounds and work beautifully. I only wish they were weighted keys. Otherwise Awesome! |
| Value |
| Was this item an overall good value? |
| For what it can do the price is very reasonable. Definitely worth every penny. |
