Building on the legacy of the Juno series, Roland introduces the latest and greatest synthesizer which takes all the best elements from previous models and elevates them in every possible way. The best of both worlds, the Juno-X combines the character and vintage spirit of analog synthesis with modern innovation to create this powerful hybrid synthesizer.
Juno Combined
The Juno-X incorporates sounds from two previous Juno models – the Juno-60 and Juno-106 respectively. The Juno-60 built on the success of the Juno-6, offering advanced polyphonic synthesis with a stable digital controlled oscillator. Regarded for its rich character, full-bodied tonality and solid tuning capabilities.
Onboard models and expansions from iconic Roland gear
If having access to previous Juno sounds wasn’t enough, the Juno-X also incorporates a range of iconic Roland gear via physical modelling. The Juno-X features over 900 PCM-based presets inherited from the now-classic XV-5080 module spanning from acoustic instruments to vintage drums and synths. Pristine acoustic pianos are also available, taken from Roland’s RD stage piano series for an authentic, natural sound. Mix vocals and instrumentation using the onboard Vocoder, ideal for that vintage-style robotic vocal technique.
Providing support for Model Expansions (from Roland Cloud), you can constantly expand and evolve your sound library and the overall character of the synthesizer. Meticulously modelled versions of the Jupiter-8, JD-800 and a range of other iconic Roland gear are available to download straight to your synth. Not only that, but Roland Cloud is home to an ever-growing range of sound packs, sampled packs and wave expansions.
Cutting-edge Zen-Core synthesis engine
The beating heart of the Juno-X is the powerful and versatile ZEN-Core sound engine. Powered by four custom Behaviour Modelling Chips, it's one of Roland’s most flexible and expandable sound engines to date; the product of years of research and development. Offering a comprehensive sound range from authentic acoustic instruments to cutting-edge electronic and hybrid sounds, ZEN-Core pushes the Juno-X into new sonic territory.
Multi-effects processer and sound design options
For those who like to create their own sounds, you can use the vast array of controls, parameters and onboard effects to create something unique to you. You can layer multiple JUNOs together, opening up a whole new world of sound analog-flavoured inspiration. You can even layer Model Expansions and other onboard presets to create massive tones and sounds of your own.
Advanced control with Juno-X Editor software
For more advanced users, the Juno-X editor software allows you to dive into complex controls, settings and parameters to further expand your capabilities. Designed for use with Mac/Windows computers, you can use the Juno-X editor software to tweak sounds, effects and Scenes with the utmost detail.
