Distinctive & timelessStanding alongside the greatest analogue synthesizers ever made, Roland’s legendary JUNO lineup has had a massive impact on music for over four decades.
The rich, organic sounds of the JUNO-60 and JUNO-106 defined countless ’80s pop hits and played a huge role in the emergence of techno, house, synthwave, and other electronic styles. Distinctive and timeless, the classic JUNO voice stil inspires leading music creators everywhere.
Complete Capabilities
ZEN-Core engineJUNO-X brings the best of the past together with modern Roland’s technologies, reimagining the vintage JUNO experience with vastly expanded sound possibilities and free-flowing tools tuned for today’s music.
It offers the full range of capabilities from the native ZEN-Core engine, along with true recreations of JUNO synths and other legacy Roland instruments.
Three JUNOs In One
JUNO-XThe newly developed JUNO-X Model is a natural evolution of the historic JUNO voice. Create even bigger sounds with an enhanced version of Roland’s famous Super Saw waveform and go deeper with velocity sensitivity, pitch envelope control, and more. A new Chorus III mode is also available to complement the two beloved chorus modes from the original JUNOs.
JUNO-60Debuted in 1982, the JUNO-60 was a landmark instrument that greatly influenced the synth landscape to come. Succeeding the similar JUNO-6, it offered affordable polyphonic synthesis with a stable digitally controlled oscillator (DCO). The JUNO-60’s rich character, friendly interface, and rock-solid tuning, together with a rich chorus effect and the ability to store sounds in onboard memories made this synth an instant classic.
JUNO-106In 1984, the JUNO-106 expanded on the success of its predecessor with more memories and the revolutionary new MIDI interface. It also featured a slightly smoother and cleaner sonic character, and the JUNO-60’s arpeggiator was replaced with a cool polyphonic portamento function. Loved by an even wider audience, the more affordable JUNO-106 went on to become one of the best-selling synths ever made.
Beyond JUNO
XV-5080, RD-Piano & VocoderExperience over 900 PCM-based presets from the famous XV-5080 module, from acoustic instruments and vintage synths to drums and world sounds. Enjoy expressive acoustic piano sounds taken from Roland’s renowned RD stage piano series. Or plug in a mic and use the Vocoder Model with any JUNO-X sound to create expressive ensemble tones, futuristic pads, and interesting robot voices.
Model Expansions & MoreSupport for Model Expansions from Roland Cloud is included so you can transform JUNO-X with the sounds and character of additional Roland instruments both old and new. Bring up authentic versions of the JUPITER-8, JD-800, and other classics, or get creative with the newly developed Vocal Designer. Roland Cloud is also a continuously growing range of Wave Expansions, Sound Packs, Sample Packs, and more to keep the music going.
Wireless Expansion with Roland Cloud ConnectJUNO-X also includes integrated support for Roland Cloud Connect, a powerful option that includes the WC-1 wireless adapter and Roland Cloud membership. Browse, audition, and load Model Expansion titles and additional content directly to the keyboard using convenient Wi-Fi. With Roland Cloud Connect, a world of fresh inspiration is always available.
Superior Creative Experience
Feel the musicA main element of the JUNO’s appeal was an intuitive interface that made it easy to craft inspiring sounds and evolving textures in the heat of the moment. With a familiar panel adorned with responsive controls, JUNO-X allows you to fully immerse in the music and create without limits.
Tactile workflowThe JUNO-X workflow is direct and intuitive, and everything is right where you need it. High-res sliders deliver analog feel with precise digital control, while dedicated buttons let you call up sounds and functions in a flash. When you need to dive deeper, the informative LCD provides clear navigation through an array of advanced parameters.
Layer it onVintage JUNO synths had modest sound capabilities with a single DCO. With JUNO-X, you can layer multiple JUNOs to create all manner of analog-flavored goodness, from massive leads and basses to rich, lush pads. Or stack Model Expansions and the onboard sounds to build dream synths never heard before. Layer up to four tones at once with enough to polyphony to take on any creative task.
Scenic viewFeaturing 256 custom creative spaces called Scenes, you can instantly recall complete JUNO-X setups with a single touch. Store sound parameters for four instrument parts and the dedicated drum part, plus I-Arpeggio settings, effects, and more.
Extra swirlOne of the most-loved JUNO features was a unique stereo chorus effect that instantly added richness and depth. JUNO-X provides both modes from the originals, plus a third mode with even more fatness and swirl. Better still, you can join them to create seven different chorus effects for use with any JUNO-X tone.
Modern multi-effectsAlong with the JUNO choruses, JUNO-X offers a massive variety of additional effects to colour sounds. Independent MFX and EQ are available for different parts, plus drive, delay, and reverb. Master EQ and compressor effects are also on at hand, along with dedicated vocal effects for the mic input.
Arpeggio actionIf you want classic arpeggios or something beyond, JUNO-X delivers. Bring up the traditional arpeggiator for a classic vibe. Or journey to the future with I-Arpeggio, which uses clever algorithms to infuse your music with naturally evolving note changes and movement. It’s also possible to export I-Arpeggio MIDI performances for further development in any DAW.
JUNO-X EditorWith the feature full JUNO-X Editor software, you can take your creativity to new heights with the large screen on your Mac or Windows computer. Edit sounds, effects, and Scenes in microscopic detail, organize performance setups, and much more.
Perform With Confidence
Meet the momentJUNO-X is built to last, pairing vintage JUNO design elements with light-yet-rugged metal construction that’s ready for the road. It’s also a dream to play, thanks to an expressive 61-note keyboard with aftertouch and our famous pitch bend/mod lever.
Get connectedThe JUNO-X rear panel is loaded with connectivity for any situation. Balanced and unbalanced audio outputs are available, plus a stereo audio input and MIDI I/O.
