Review: Simply Amazing - You gotta get this! (read entire review). - I am a former Yamaha Motif owner and I loved how Yamaha had a powerful onboard sequencer within there workstations. No need for a computer or DAW. Then I purchased the Korg Kross 2. (still trying to figure it out). I now purchased my first ever Roland Workstation and this baby is lit! It not only has some of the best sounds ever but to have an onboard pattern sequencer that loops and you can "chain" patterns together to make a complete song without the use of a Computer, DAW. I though I would never find another synth with so many features since the Motif. I was wrong. The Roland Juno DS61 is as simple as I could have ever wanted. It is so easy to lay down a track, mix it and save it via internal memory or USB card. The best features are how the entire Keyboard is laid out. It is easy to understand and navigate and the owners manual is pretty detailed on how to make the best use of your new toy. You can "cue" up a pattern that you created, name it and then simply chain it to another pattern and thus having a complete song. EXAMPLE: Intro, Main, Chorus, Middle, Ending and so on. You can save everything in real time in a matter of seconds. reload it and simply assign a setup to a pattern as well. The vocoder is a good as it gets. Puts the Korg to shame. Sampling features are a blast and easy to use and assign a sample to a pad or into a pattern. The LCD display is extremely well organized and easy to view. What I noticed about this Synth that is is very similar to the Old Ensoniq VFX-SD. The case and layout with the buttons and screen remind me of Ensoniq. If you forget to turn of the Synth, it will let you know and then you can set it to auto off as well. If you are into making music and don't want to struggle using a DAW or laptop and need to jam right out of the box, then this is the workstation for you. PROS: Runs on batteries WIRELESS (ready) YES!!! Has a heavy duty power ON/OFF button Simple sequencing with all the bells & whistles like Quantize, step, pattern, punch in out, loop etc. Well organized LCD screen & layout of the keyboard Assigning a sequence or pattern to a performance (A+) CONS: Only has an 8 track sequencer If you can compose with 8 tracks you will be fine! If not, you can then hook it to a PC, or do what I did... MAKE IT 16 TRACKS: HERE IS HOW! Record your first 8 tracks to USB card. then load it back in and have it play while you record 8 new tracks. You can mix all your tracks prior to saving to USB or internal memory. Pan, Fad, Volume, tuning, bass, etc. Then save your patterns in MP3, WAV... reload it into memory and hit play on the pattern sequencer while you record 8 new tracks of a total of 16. (first 8 are now combined into 1 pattern). EXCELLENT BUY! You gotta get this!
Review: Beautiful sounding keyboard - The Juno DS 61 is a great synthesizer, now understand it’s actually a rompler not a actual synthesizer that you tweak sound waves and do sound design, if you want that get a actual synthesizer , this is a performance keyboard with amazing sound samples of over 1200 instruments and synth sounds of the highest quality, with a fun 8 track sequencer for playing around with composition ideas , for 799$ it is the best sounding keyboard for that price range and has a limited but very cool and simple sequencer and loop abilities, I highly recommend this keyboard to anyone starting out looking for a good instrument for a good price, yes there are synths that do more and have way crazier sequencers but they are 4x the money, this is a great, light keyboard good for traveling and playing gigs and just writing songs with

## Questions & Answers

**Q: i need an honest feedback.... how is the  grandpiano quality??**
A: Much, much better than the similarly-priced competition, just all sounds in general are better, even the keybed, too, though Kross2 has some synth sounds and sound design capabilities that the Juno lacks (and vice versa). Strictly speaking of sounds.
Too bad that none have grand piano quality like the Yamaha P-125 or Roland FP30, but some compromises have to be made to bring on all the extra sounds and other features that these kinds of keyboards bring.

**Q: can you build synth sounds from scratch?**
A: Absolutely, you can even load your own samples and build new patches with them.

**Q: Can a normal yamaha sustain pedal be used with it like an FC5 or does roland have its own pedals?**
A: A generic sustain pedal should work fine

**Q: What case do you use?**
A: Gator rolling gig bag.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ JUNO-DS-61 Key Synth-A packs in layers of functionality to heighten my creativity over the years.
*by G***S on July 19, 2025*

I absolutely love my Roland JUNO-DS 61-Key Lightweight Synth-A. I have the 61 Key Model but it goes up an extra octave and back with the flick of switch. I like the rhythm sections. I've had it for several years and I love it. It's perfect for recording into my T*^am Model 10. The Roland Juno-DS 61-Key has MIDI In and Out. I can also fit it into my souped high powered Thinkpad with Sonar. This Roland is easy to use, the keyboard quality and feel have been good over many years and this Juno-DS packs a tremendous amount of functionality into a versatile synthesizer.
