One problem I still have is that patch remain doesn't work when I switch favourites with my pedal. It kinda ruined one of my videos playing a song since the Di was too slow at loading the patches.
hello, i got a question,..this keyboard has drums kit?..if not, can i upload sounds to the keyboard using some software, so i can upload drums, or another one?.thanks, ;D
Tried the Di and I gotta say, I dislike the 2-line LCD screen, the length of the keys and their short travel. Even the Gi still has the same key problems. I really wanted to like the Di... :(
i have my juno di... newly bought by my dad... my problem is... wen im in my gig.. playing string for my intro den imediately change my patch into piano... the string cuts his sound imediately when i press the piano category... even i step on my hold pedal... huhuhu how is this??? plz help me...
@troydaby That's normal operation for this synth. It wasn't until recently that Roland introduced (seamless patch switching). What you'll need to do is go into the software editor and activate the "Patch Remain" feature. The only problem with this is you're locking yourself to ONE MFX. What causes the skip in normal patch mode is that the the MFX's also change when changing patches. This causes the brief pause in sound. Using patch remain locks into one MFX so you can avoid this.
@troydaby Once you get that editor up and running you'll see a whole new side to your Juno-Di. It'll seem like you got a new keyboard when you see how many parameters are available via the software.
tnx for those info dude... im getting into my new keybord... heheh but i do have another problem... my juno di is sometimes out of new, every time it was newly tunred on... y is this so? sometimes it transpose 1 whole step down... huhuhu help me
@squeakD can you help me im having trouble with my juno Di i just bought well i wanna ask if how to edit patch and spliting notes not two but more than 2? please help me :) thx
Hi SquekD how do you access these 4 different oscilators? I just got it in today (bought it today) and I didn't realize this! That's amazing and would love to learn this.
Thanks for the upload. I've had this synth for a week now and kept thinking there had to be reason why this 128 voice polyphony synth was so limited. Why would Roland put 128 voice polyphony on this keyboard if it didn't have a decent patching and other editing features that other 128 polyphony keyboards have? I finally installed the computer drivers and loaded the software and all came to light. I was looking at the editing software has a bunch of features that makes it powerhouse of a machine
@MajorCovert That's what I keep telling people. It's alarming to know the number of Di owners who haven't even bothered to download the Editor program yet. It opens up an entirely new side of the Di.
@Mazemania Hi.., I'm from the USA. The strings aren't nearly as nice as Korgs, BUT they are a HUGE improvement over the previous Juno-D/Le models. MAJOR IMPROVEMENT ;-)
Hi SqueakD, I would like to get your opinion. I already have the Motif XS6 and was considering buying the Fantom G6. But after reading your posts and reviews about the Juno Di, im having mixed feelings between getting the G6, Di or the Juno-stage. Any suggestions?? Thanks HD
does the di i have LFO? i know the roland juno d does. but im not sure if im missing something or if its just not there. and what about the d beam? does it have settings for it, like volume, or ressance, crap like that? thanks
You sold me,squeak!! I just ordered one! Man,this machine has everything! I have had alot of synths over the years and I think this packs alot of bang for the buck! Nice teaching and demos!
Thanks :) It's an amazing sounding keyboard. For the price it's a big winner IMO. Plus the software editor really brings it all together for recording and detailed editing of patches/performances.
You can have up to 4 ocs's per patch and you can map each of those to their own zone on the keybed. You have a dedicated SPLIT patch mode.., but using the software you can create your own patches using all 4 ocs's and mapping those individually.
Hi.. (excuse me for my english) . I want to buy this synth.. and i have 2 question?.. is better than Korg x50?... this synth has different part to connect to a midi controller and play differents sounds with each one?.. thanks
Sounds is a very subjective issue. The X50 (IMO) has some great synth patches.., and Korg has always done a great job with orchestral patches too. The Di has both USB midi and standard midi I/O jacks.
Hi. Sorry but I'm a bit of a noob also maybe but can't you give some toturial on the editor, how to edit patches, can I make new patches as well or just edit?
I dont understand what this video explains could you explain for a noob please. Also is there quick enough access to mp3 files that i could use that as a sampler for some cellos and speech live? with the favourites does that combine your favourite sounds as well as other presets like arpeggiator styles or chord styles? Finally is their distortion available on the mic as well as the drum kits (i want to do some trip hop style stuff)
I'm not confused in the slightest! Have you ever owned the Juno-D or any synth related to the Juno-D's set up..? The Juno-D was less than HALF the synth editing of the Juno-Di. The Juno-D did not allow you to map osc's to zones.., program velocity fading and switch points. There were parameters the Juno-D had PRESET within a patch.., but you COULD NOT edit some of those parameters. The Juno-Di's an excellent example. There's much the synth CAN'T do without the editor program.
Yes, there is no "velocity fading" thing because that would mean that the velocity has INFLUENCE on how the sound fades. It does NOT, as you can see while he plays the keys. So it's indeed simple key follow (which you couldn't edit on the old Juno-D). I wonder why your statement gets so much thumbs down here.
I think the biggest thing is that people are majorly confusing the Di's patch editing abilities with the old Juno-D. The Di by itself has less onboard patch editing than the previous model. However, the software editor is literally a virtual key that unlocks full patch editing. IMO too many people base their opinions on the synth alone who have no idea what all it offers when combined with the editor program.
Velocity Fading wasn't the best choice of words to use when showing this though. I do know what key follow is too :) Prior to posting this vid I was playing with the editor and on some patches was adjusting the upper and lower fade levels for individual osc's within the velocity settings. I mispoke on the term.., but I still stand by what I said that even though the Di had certain parameters present within the patch.., it didn't mean you could edit them.
Sounds like a pretty powerful synth engine hidden in there, bizarre that they haven't made this clear. Reminds me of some of the things I can do with my beaten up old SY-35, lots of vectoring, velocity and split switching, but only with 2xFM and 2xSamples. Pretty cool though!
I'm a little shocked too. I can't understand why Roland wouldn't put that info at the front! What I showed in thid vid is HUGE for the Di. If consumers knew up front that the Di's synth engines structure is the same as the Juno-G/Stage.., it would without a doubt increase sales.
Can anyone tell me if the Juno Di works with Cakewalk Music Creator 6?

How are you wanting to set up the split? To do any indepth editing on splits with multiple osc's you'll need to use the software editor.
