Inviting Interface |
For
an instrument packed with so many features, the JUNO-G offers
unprecedented ease of use. The aforementioned mixer and transport
controls are only part of the JUNO-G’s friendly “hands-on” work
surface. It has clearly labeled buttons, six knobs to modify sounds,
five sliders for the audio section, a data wheel, a D Beam, and a
pitch/mod lever. In the center of it all is the largest backlit LCD of
any synth in this price range. |
Computer Friendly |
The
beauty of the JUNO-G is that it can be used to by itself create
complete songs from start to finish, but for those who want to take it
one step further and incorporate a computer into the setup, the JUNO-G
can be linked to a PC or Mac via its USB port. All MIDI communications
can be handled over USB; you can also send and receive AIFF/WAV files
and patch data via included librarian software. Plus you can edit your
patches with the editor software that is included. As an extra
computer-related bonus, Roland ships every new JUNO-G with a copy of
Cakewalk’s SONAR LE software for PC. |
