Members The Audacity Works Posted January 24, 2006 Members Share Posted January 24, 2006 Silky T is cool as hell. One of the nicest guys here, and immensely talented. Juno-G: 768 preset + 256 GM2 patches, 36 preset + 9 GM2 drumkits, 64 performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members b3keys Posted January 24, 2006 Members Share Posted January 24, 2006 No comments on the video. Regarding the product, why would anyone select this over the Fantom Xa or X6? For just a few hundred more, you get more expansion capabalities, better keys (aftertouch, etc.) I appreciate Roland trying to introduce a low price point product, but.....

Members Mike51 Posted January 24, 2006 Members Share Posted January 24, 2006 I thought Silky T was great. I'll take his demo over most of the ones I have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt about the guys talent. He did deliver one of the better demos for a product. I agree with Mike51.I'd go for the Juno-G if I already didn't have a keyboard. I've also had much more creative success with Roland's Grooveboxes (MC-505 and MC-909) so I'm going for the MC-808. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Xa has no audio tracks, a smaller screen, and costs $400 more. The X6 will set you back an extra GRAND if you want it over the Juno G.

Members Yoozer Posted January 24, 2006 Members Share Posted January 24, 2006 Originally posted by brzilian That totalled roughly 1,300 patches. Yes, but not truly unique ones. There's quite a bit of chaff in there .(saying this as an XP-30 owner with the Keys of the 60's and 70's expansion and the Vintage Synths expansion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mook Posted January 24, 2006 Members Share Posted January 24, 2006 Funniest NAMM video I saw was the one last year with the hippy demonstrating that Kay generative arpeggio on the Oasys.You know, the one where the kid falls over in the background...

Members electrobaby Posted January 25, 2006 Members Share Posted January 25, 2006 I think the Juno G and the Sh 201 actually look pretty neat for the price and target. I also think roland and korg seem to be a bit more aggressive and smart about cashing in on the analog/va sound unlike yamaha (who own sequential name and technology I believe) - why the hell doesnt yamaha come out with something - anything - in this market???? Is it because yamaha thinks it is too much of a niche target...seems like one of the bigger niches to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members donaldcrunk Posted January 25, 2006 Members Share Posted January 25, 2006 that man ran around my guitar center all day on grand opening with one of those Roland MicroCubes strapped to his belt, and playing guitar and being awesome. Best roland rep i've ever even SEEN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members midi Posted January 25, 2006 Members Share Posted January 25, 2006 Yamaha is too busy cranking out Pianos and PSR keyboards They were on a groove for awhile with the CS series, SU samplers and RM1x/7000 but lately not a damn thing!

Members artemio Posted January 28, 2006 Members Share Posted January 28, 2006 Just to make sure people don't underrate the new Juno, I have created an info page at Roland CLAN:http://rolandclan.info/en/model/juno-g/ Juno-G includes all the synthesis, effects and sampling power of the bigger Fantom brothers, with the only exception being no support for multisamples. It has a full-blown synth engine, 128 voices, WAVE/AIFF sample import, resampling etc. It's actually a pretty powerful machine, and for a little more than $1k having all that with 4 audio tracks, up to 0.5 G RAM and PC card storage... This is something very cool I think. I'd go for it instead of Xa or bigger X6 if I didn't have my Fantom-S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Audacity Works Posted January 28, 2006 Members Share Posted January 28, 2006 The Juno-G does not sample, at least as of NAMM. You can load audio files into its 4-track digital recorder, but it's not a sampler per s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members elsongs Posted January 29, 2006 Members Share Posted January 29, 2006 I think we all agree that we would take the Juno-G much more seriously if it didn't have a "Juno" name. - Contrary to the intent of a bunch of Roland executives.

Members lakelanddude Posted January 29, 2006 Members Share Posted January 29, 2006 Well....many people have no idea ... and post something they don't even know..in here. Read the manual Here Who said it can not sample?? Duh... Seem like it can sample and it can playback samples also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Audacity Works Posted January 29, 2006 Members Share Posted January 29, 2006 Originally posted by lakelanddude Who said it can not sample?? Duh...I did. I work for Roland. It can sample in pretty much the same way that the XV-5080 can sample. That is; it's not a sampler. But it can record 4 tracks of digital audio, edit them in a really arbitrary fashion, and then, through a series of edit functions, assign said audio files to a list. On one hand, I could say "Hey! The Juno-G samples!" and have fifty thousand people down my throat complaining how it's not a proper sampler. On the other hand, I could say "Hey! It's not a proper sampler!" and have a bunch of guys such as yourself say "Yeah, but if I do this and this and this, you can kinda manipulate it into a sample playback engine like the XV-5080, even though it sports nothing like the Roland Fantom's sampling engine. So, by definition, it's a sampler!" So... What answer would you like to hear this evening? People are already up in arms about the name... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
