Roland Juno-G is a music workstation/synth introduced in 2006 by Roland Corporation. It is based on the Fantom-X series, having a vintage design that resembles the first Juno synthesizers, such as the Juno-106. The Juno-G's main competitor in the approximate price range, with similar features, when first released, was the Korg Triton Le/TR entry-level workstations.

Despite the similar name and later introduction, the Juno-G was not set to replace the popular Juno-D synthesizer: both ran concurrently. Apart from the Juno name, the G and the D have little in common, the D having its roots in Roland's RS PCM machines.

Features

The Juno-G has the same sound engine as the Fantom-X series: 128-voice polyphony, 768 patches and 256 GM2 patches within the 64 MB of wave memory, with 16 MIDI plus 4 stereo audio tracks for recording and mixing.

It is also fully Windows and Mac compatible, connecting through USB for MIDI and data transfer. Conventional MIDI In and Out sockets are also provided, although there is no MIDI Thru socket. Up to 2 GB CompactFlash and Secure Digital memory cards are accepted using a standard PC card adapter. A single SRX expansion board slot and a PC133 RAM slot is also available for DIMMs up to 512mb.

Version 2 of the keyboard's operating system is available as a free download, which allows user-sampling, waveform editing, and sample triggering.[2]

Juno-Gi

The Juno-G was discontinued in 2010, when Roland introduced its followup, the Juno-Gi. The Juno-Gi is a 128-voice polyphony keyboard that contains about 1,300 sounds and an eight-track digital recorder with guitar, microphone and line inputs.[3]
