It's loaded with brand new CD-quality sounds and direct access buttons for selecting from among the hundreds of patches.

The Roland JUNO D is loaded with convenient, performance oriented features including a powerful phrase / arpeggio generator and Multi Chord memory function which lets you play a chord by touching a single key. You can assign all of the 12 notes in an octave to play different chords and then save them as a new set. There are several chord sets already stored in the Juno-D's memory at the factory.

A rhythm guide metronome with real drum sounds is also built in which includes preset drum patterns with multiple variations.

Players will really appreciate the feel of the Juno-D's newly improved 61-note, velocity-sensitive keyboard, which is a big step up from previous synths in this price range. Bend, twist, and manipulate your sounds in real time with Roland's revolutionary D Beam controller, pitch / modulation lever, and five front-panel control knobs.

For additional control you can plug in pedals or other foot switches such as Roland's DP-2, DP-8 Damper pedal or EV-5 Expression pedal.

As you can see, the resurrection of Roland's famous Juno range is a great value for money keyboard / synth. For the huge range of features, exciting playability and low price bracket, the Roland JUNO D is very hard to beat!
