Juno-G - Reviews - Music Tech Magazine

Its heritage is undeniably second to none, but will Roland’s latest synth live up to the high standards set by its predecessors? Hollin Jones lifts off with the Juno-G...

Price: £799.00
Manufacturer: Roland

Roland’s original Juno series of synthesizers was instrumental in defining the sound of pop and electro in the 80s, and enjoyed something of a renaissance in the early 90s with acid house and techno. You can still find original Junos online, but they’re not cheap and are few and far between. The recent Juno-D marked a return for the Juno name, although in reality it was more of a workstation than a synth. The new Juno-G is an even more evolved instrument, packing in a bewildering array of features to cater for a market in which people increasingly want one box to do everything, both on stage and in the studio.

Score: 9

The review is more on the features and sounds more like commercial advertisement than a professional review. It does not describe how the keyboard sound and how the sound is compared to higher end or lower end product or its competitor.
