NAMM 2025: Roland Features JUNO-D Series For Gigging Musicians
At the 2025 NAMM Show, Roland is making the Show debut of the JUNO-D synthesizer series, a new generation of synthesizer keyboards for gigging musicians and budding music creators.
The JUNO-D6, JUNO-D7, and JUNO-D8 models feature portable designs with “pro-grade” sounds, easy operation, and flexible connectivity.
The official JUNO-D overview:
JUNO-D models feature high-quality keyboards inherited from the FANTOM-0 series instruments. The 61-note JUNO-D6 and 76-note JUNO-D7 are equipped with synth-action keyboards, while JUNO-D8 offers a piano-style experience with 88 weighted-action keys and hammer action.
Other than the keyboards and physical specifications, all JUNO-D models offer identical features.
Every JUNO-D is designed to be easy to transport and simple to operate, either for live performancer or arranging using the built-in sequencer.
The instruments can be powered via AC or a standard USB-C mobile battery, making them ideal on-the-go solutions for stage playing, creating music content in a home studio, or performing on the street.
JUNO-D features the same ZEN-Core engine found in Roland top-tier synths. Over 3800 sounds are available, including acoustic and electric pianos, vintage and modern synths, organs, orchestral instruments, world sounds, and more.
It’s also possible to import WAV samples to recreate specific sounds. Roland Cloud also provides a library of Sound Packs and Wave Expansions, available through membership or Lifetime Key purchases.
With a free Roland account, JUNO-D owners can access a complimentary collection of ZEN-Core Sound Packs to get started. Players can take creative command with a generous selection of hands-on controls for real-time sound adjustment. Dedicated buttons offer direct access to 16 sound categories, while Dual, Split, and Super Layer functions are available to combine tones or assign different parts to the left and right hands. With Favorites, the user can quickly recall tailor-made sounds for every song on the setlist.
JUNO-D Audio Demos:
JUNO-D also provides powerful tools for developing musical ideas and playing with backing tracks.
There’s an eight-track sequencer with TR-REC step input and real-time recording options, plus eight phrase pads to trigger rhythm patterns or mute tracks to shape arrangements on the fly. Arpeggiator and chord memory functions are easily accessible to generate even more creative possibilities.
JUNO-D players can add vocals to their performances using the built-in mic input and professional effects, including compression, EQ, reverb, and noise suppression. Auto pitch and vocoder effects are also available to add the modern colors heard in current pop music.
The integrated audio/MIDI USB-C interface provides class-compliant support for a driverless connection to mobile devices and computers. Users can create and perform with their favorite music production software and infuse livestreams and music videos with pristine direct sound. Each JUNO-D model has balanced stereo audio outputs to connect with studio speakers, a stage amp, or a house PA, plus a headphone jack for quiet practice and developing musical ideas.
It is also possible to play backing tracks and songs through the JUNO-D system from a smartphone or computer via USB-C or a flash drive connected to the dedicated USB memory port.,
The Roland JUNO-D Series, JUNO-D6, JUNO-D7, and JUNO-D8 are now available for $899.99, $1,149.99, and $1,299.99 respectively. More information is available on the Roland website.
