Roland Now Shipping Juno-Stage Performance Synthesizer

Roland® Corporation is pleased to announce the new JUNO-Stage synthesizer is now shipping. As the latest addition to the benchmark JUNO Series, JUNO-Stage is uniquely created for live performance applications.

This professional-grade 76-key synthesizer ships with an essential high-quality sound set, including an 88-key stereo multi-sampled piano derived from the Fantom-G workstation series. Two slots for SRX expansion boards add even more options to a player's sonic palette. A redesigned weighted synth-action keyboard ensures the JUNO-Stage feels as good as it sounds.

The JUNO-Stage includes all the features needed for a streamlined live performance, such as simple split and layer functions, separate reverb and EQ knobs, an intuitive top panel and LED display, and the FAVORITE function that enables the quick recall of up to 100 unique sounds and keyboard setups. The JUNO-Stage even includes a dedicated XLR microphone input with reverb and a vocoder, adding another unique possibility for a live performance.

The JUNO-Stage effortlessly translates to the studio as well. Using a single button, it is transformed into a MIDI master keyboard, enabling seamless integration with external sound sources and software recording applications such as the included Cakewalk Sonar LE. A USB memory port enables playback of .MP3, .WAV, .AIFF, or .SMF files from standard USB flash memory.

With highly refined sounds and features designed for studio and stage, the JUNO-Stage is the perfect synthesizer for any level of performing player and recording artist.

The JUNO-Stage is now shipping with a retail price of $1,599.00.
