Critic Reviews

Roland Juno-DS61 (DS76 | DS88) review: Still Good in 2024?

pianodreamers.com

The Roland JUNO-DS61 is a solid choice for musicians seeking a lightweight, performance-oriented keyboard. Its impressive sound library and excellent effects make it stand out, with a user-friendly interface that simplifies on-stage control. However, the lack of built-in speakers and the somewhat cramped control layout can be drawbacks for some users. Additionally, the weighted keys in the 88-key model might feel heavy, which could affect playability for certain styles. Overall, while it may not replace high-end models like the RD-2000, the JUNO-DS61 offers great value and versatility for aspiring performers.

Roland JUNO DS61 review | Digital Piano Review Guide

digitalpianoreviewguide.com

The Roland JUNO-DS 61 delivers a user-friendly interface and solid sound options, making it a standout for gigging musicians. With 1200 customizable patches and excellent portability, it’s a versatile tool for both live performances and home recordings. However, its unweighted keys may disappoint those seeking a piano-like feel, and the limited LCD screen can be cumbersome for detailed sound editing. While it shines in its price range, those needing a more robust keyboard experience might want to look at alternatives with weighted keys. Overall, a strong choice for many, but not for everyone.
