A JUNO for the live stage!

The Roland JUNO-STAGE is packed with great features for live performance, with gig-ready sounds (including the Fantom-X's grand piano), easy-to-grab controllers, and vocal input. The JUNO-STAGE is equipped with a USB port and Song Player for backing tracks, plus a click track output. Great sounds, flexibility, and playability make the Roland JUNO-STAGE a winner!

Roland JUNO-STAGE at a Glance:
  • Sounds
  • Live performance control
  • Backing tracks via USB
  • MIDI control
  • Stage-friendly features

Sounds
Carefully crafted for the stage, JUNO-STAGE's factory patch set covers a wide range of essential sounds, including the flagship 88-key stereo multi-sampled piano taken from the Fantom-X. Every JUNO-STAGE can also be expanded and customized via two Roland SRX Wave Expansion Boards. On stage, you need quick and effortless access to your patches. JUNO-STAGE is equipped with Favorite buttons for instant access to banks of your most-needed sounds. Best of all, you can also recall your patches via a dual footswitch connected to a dedicated Patch Select jack, so you never have to take your hands off the keyboard.

Live performance control
The JUNO-STAGE's controllers are optimized for live performance, with easy-to-grab knobs for instant Master EQ and Reverb control. Located above the pitch bender, two assignable switches can be used for rotary organ effects, portamento on/off, and more.

Backing tracks via USB
JUNO-STAGE is equipped with a USB port and Song Player function that enables direct playback and control of backing tracks from a USB key. You can play MP3, .WAV, AIFF and SMF files, and even use the Center Cancel feature to minimize pre-recorded vocals for karaoke-style performance. Creating and editing playlists is simple with the supplied Playlist Editor software for PC; the playlist can be viewed on JUNO-STAGE's display.

MIDI control
The fast and friendly MIDI Controller mode, complete with dedicated buttons, transforms JUNO-STAGE into a MIDI master keyboard. In this mode, JUNO-STAGE allows program and control changes to be sent with a single touch. MIDI-channel assignments are displayed in a clear, easy-to-understand format.

Stage-friendly features
JUNO-STAGE is packed with great features for live performance, such as an XLR mic input with phantom power (ideal for vocal sing-along performance or driving the built-in vocoder), Click output (for sending an audible click track to bandmates onstage), and an external input for a portable audio player. Bring the power of the JUNO to your live performances with the JUNO-STAGE!

Incredibly Versatile!

by Glynrd from Northern California
January 6, 2010
Music Background: 40+ years Pro Keyboards, vocals, recording
Got a great deal on a "Demo" model from here just over a month ago. It does have a ding on one corner and the owner's manual was pretty well mangled, but otherwise in near perfect shape. I got away fr... read more [+]om Roland for a quite a few years after retiring a U-20, but I am glad to be back! It all feels very familiar, had no trouble jumping into playing and programming. There might be a learning curve if you haven't used Roland boards before. I'm still filling out the Favorites banks for easy access at gigs. Used it twice live and got positive feedback from bandmates about the sounds. I was considering buying a Nord after playing a friends new one, but I chose the Juno-Stage because it does so much more. And for my taste the quality of the sounds the Nord is known for are just as good (for a better price). It's the first synth I've owned that nails the Wurlitzer elec. piano sound (and has a variety of them with the expansion cards I added). I like the organ sounds so much I thought about not taking my Korg CX-3 to the gigs, but do to be able to easily play two sounds at once, or just go back and forth between organ and other sounds without pressing buttons.
Some may not like the key action as it is not really piano like, but being an organist since the 60s I like it. I find a weighted action to be fatiguing in a 4 hour gig. The jacks for and iPod, USB drive, and microphone have all proved useful for running everything into one input. I use a Simmons stereo drum amp that only has one set of stereo inputs. I'm learning more each time I sit down to play, but I think I'll probably be playing this board for as long as the 20+ years I played my last Roland board! close [-]

Great Keyboard

by Anthony Tsung from Toronto, Canada
October 21, 2009
Music Background:
I love this keyboard. It is loaded with sounds. A lot of the sounds are useless to me but the main sounds such as acoustic pianos, electric pianos, wurlitzlers, organs, clavs, orchestral sounds are ... read more [+]really nice. Some presets are weak like their 88 grand piano and the wurlitzlers but it has a huge and a bit complicated effects processor section and with a bit of adjusting, the grand piano comes out beautifully and the wurly has that awesome fuzz sound behind it. Very impressed. As far as synth sounds, there are tons. Some of them are really impressive, some are like they could of left it out. No after touch though. The keyboard is easy to use. Looks great. Yes no sequencer but we all use software anyways but it does have a 16 track midi-sequencer.
Don't forget the vocoder, haven't tried, will soon. Highly recommend it. close [-]

A gigging machine

I was able to program all the performances needed for our complete set list (45 songs), in a little over one and a half hours. That included tweaking individual patches as needed. close [-]

Nice keyboard, not a great midi controller

by Hal Eichsteadt from
February 17, 2010
Music Background:
My band plays mostly 70's and 80's classic rock (keyboard based). My old Roland D70 finally broke after over 15 years of steady gigging; so I thought it might be a good idea to try a NEW keyboard to ... read more [+]use as my main board and to drive my other synth modules.

Based on all the reviews,this should be an amazing keyboard. Tons of onboard sounds, great effects. I had hoped the "Grand Piano" would blow my head off right out of the box, but to me it lacks definition, one can't hit the keys hard enough to hear the hammer hitting the strings like a real piano. Most of the sounds are good, but not as BIG and FAT as I've come to expect from the vintage Roland stuff I already own. Most sounds come off kind of flat and one-dimensional not punchy like vintage Roland.

As a master MIDI controller, it seems as if Roland kind of threw in MIDI as an afterthought; like a spare tire on a car. Only ten MIDI program changes? And, only on one channel? I did finally figure out how to send on multiple MIDI channels, but I can't get this machine to send things like PROGRAM CHANGES and VOLUME to my old rack-mount stuff. Couldn't figure out how to do it; calling Roland wasn't any help at all. No MIDI thru jack?? Really?

On the plus side: the keyboard action is VERY nice and responsive. MIDI notwithstanding this board does TONS of stuff that I'm still delving into, provided one has the time to tweak the sounds and effects. It's probably as good a board as anything else out there at this price point, but as a master MIDI keyboard I feel Roland missed the mark. close [-]
