THe sounds were a wash to me. BOth sound fine but neither sounds better or worse, just different patch design choices. However, can we just get a minute to appreciate the Juno's realtime performance and expressive capability. The kross is a basic budget keyboard, with low quality build and very limited expressiveness. The Juno looks like a board I would gig.

@@WarrenPostma Agree with most of what you've said... Having just purchased the Juno DS61 I can tell you the following: Negatives: Thinner, shorter keys, just like the FA06. Keybed does not go down very far... Positives: Decent build quality. ridiculously light. Great selection of 'Useable' Sounds, Pianos, Organs, Synth Pads, Brass Pads, Strings, Orchs, Leads, Sync effects, Atmostpheric, Ethnic, and Sweeps... I'd say that the Roland is very giggable (IMO).

I had the Kross1 and looked to trade up, i chose the Juno DS61 and very happy with it. One major problem with Kross is there is no octave change button! You have to program each sound to do that if you want. Playing live I need the octave change there for every thing. Juno sounds are great as well. My rig is the Modx8 and Juno Ds 61.

The Korg sounded good, but very dry, like the sounds are intended for the user to apply an effects chain. The Juno sounded song ready. I really liked some of the Korg sounds, but they needed some effects, at least some reverb. The Juno could have benefited from effects too, but it doesn't need them. I wounder if the Korgs presets are intentionally dry, and the Juno already has an effects chain... I wouldn't mind have both or either. I feel like they would work well together.

I had Juno DS and I have now Kross 2. From a straight sound/tone perspective, perhaps Juno is little better. But from features perspective Kross is much more enjoyable. Drum track, Linear 16 tracks sequencer, 2 arpeggiators at the same time... everything is more valuable. On Juno there is not such configuration like the Combi's on Kross, Juno has a Performance mode, but much less flexible than Kross, a strange management of the Drums, only 8 tracks and few measures available. Good for sketching ideas, not to make any complete song, unless connected to a DAW... With Kross you can do almost everything on board: it's an all-in-one hardware.

У меня как раз наоборот - сначала был Kross 2 88, и использовался дома. Сейчас я играю в группе, и решил сменить его на Juno DS 61, не так часто играю рояльные партии, чтобы мириться с габаритами моего Kross. В Juno огорчает лишь отсутствие аудиозаписи в инструмент, чем я очень часто пользовался на Korg, и логика сохранения эффектов к патчам в режиме Performance. Арпеджиатор также вынесен как отдельная функция, никак не сохраняется в Performance, к сожалению. В остальном - вес, габариты, дизайн инструмента, звучание патчей «из коробки», удобство управления при живой игре, куча бесплатных библиотек расширения и наличие пэдов с классным функционалом (к которому сначала отнёсся скептически, но поняв как и что работает - изменил своё мнение) - это всё делает Juno DS классным лично для меня, даже не смотря на своеобразную логику настроек, меню, вкладок. Kross 2 больше для студии, Juno DS - однозначно круче для выступлений и группы.

I wish, hope, dream - Roland brings an updated Juno by NAMM 2024 if not during NAMM 2023 in April. Yamaha just brought their lightweight tiny stage keyboard CK61 and I hope Roland makes something the same. Modern sounds, intuitive controls, less space wasted, lightweight 🎹🎹🎹🧡

That DS61 looks like it can tell some war stories... Of the sounds presented I felt the DS61 seemed better except the "big string" sound where the Kross sounded more authentic. With these sorts of keyboards except the "what's the first patch (grand piano) like" question, where you'd expect the manufacturer to put what they consider best first) it's always hard to compare because there are 100s of sounds in these things. What I can say as an owner on a DS61 is that I don't get on with the performance programming aspect when it comes to effects - every time I think I have it worked out I get frustrated when suddenly I can't seem to get reverb to apply to one of the parts... Unlike JUNO-Gi and MOX which can only layer 4 patches in a performance, the DS61 can have 16 which is nice. Also the ability to have a user samples on the keyboard or on pads is nice, and was why I bought my DS61. The Kross has been tempting for a while if for no other reason than to have a 61-key Korg, but I do like the idea of having a mod wheel on the Kross. Sometimes the combined "joystick" on the Roland is nice but I prefer mod wheels. If the performance programming on the Kross is better at controlling even simple things like setting reverb levels on parts then I'd probably never use my DS61 again if I bought a Kross because for me I need a good performance programming interface.

Kross is much, much more versatile and intuitive when it comes to effects programming and effects routing. It also does user samples like the Juno and without the need for a PC to prep the samples if desired. It is a more complete and feature-laden workstation and the sequencer is far better. I also think it is more practical in using SD cards for audio and utilities instead of a USB flash stick like the Juno. All that aside, the Juno is far better for performance controls, switching layers on the fly, swapping patches does not cut off sound (if desired), much better keybed, nice vocoder, and its 8-track loop sequencer is more practical for improv and having various backing patterns (melodic or drums, whatever you wish) to switch between during a performance. They each have their strengths. In the meantime, familiarize yourself with the Juno's effects routing. The Performance parameters and FX routing aspects can be confusing. You have to set which part routes to which MFX in _Performance Edit_ > _Output_ > "Sel" + "Lev" + "Cho" + "Rev", but you also have to take into account that the Partials in each preset also have individual routings to the MFX and master chorus and reverb (this doesn't matter if you are using factory presets), then each MFX has its own master chorus and reverb sends. Proper gain staging within the keyboard is alao necessary to avoid clipping and distortion. One little tip that the instrument Parameter/Reference manuals (not the User manuals) do not specify on the Juno is that the "Vibrato" page in the Performance controls messes with LFO1 on every patch as Roland has set that LFO to vibrato on every patch. This means that you can remove/replace/add modulation to any patch with LFO1 as the source and tweaking the "Vibrato" Rate in Performance controls can modify all that. So "Vibrato" can do more than just vibrato in the Performances, really, really cool.

Roland grand pianos are amazing, they were one of the first when that first came out. Korg holds its own on electric pianos and strings. Why did the Roland feature high flutes on its organ sound and Korg did not? So on both you only get the sounds that are in them? Can you create from scratch or import any sounds on either?

IMO, one should have both a korg and either a yamaha or roland. it seems that the korg patches are eq'd thinner. i do not like korg pianos (i have kromeEX73 and an X-50). i have always liked yamaha/roland pianos, especially the motif (i have yamaha MX88 and a roland JV-2080). why both? korg has many other patches which are better. (the X-50 combi strings patch(#11) is my favorite in the whole world) also, korg patches sit really well in busy mixes whereas the smoother, darker yamaha/roland pianos are better for solo or only a few instruments in the mix. This shootout favors the better solo sound of the roland. an MX series would also have beat the kross in this test.

Not sure how you got the Juno DS to sound decent. I have one and the piano sounds are really “light” they don’t have any “body”. If you’re getting a keyboard to use primarily piano sounds I wouldn’t recommend it. You made it sound nice here though

might be some setting or another that threw you off, the Juno kills Kross2 and MX at piano, and then the free Axial expansions available from Roland include the EXP-04, whose "PremierGrand" preset puts the Juno's main piano to shame, even beats the SuperNatural pianos on the FA-06

Okey, Korg has more original Strings, but no real portamento, you have to use Kontakt Samples for that anyway. I only use my DS88 for Midi Keyboard. You're better off with Virus Synths. And wavetable synths, like Korg Modwave. And granular effects like Beam. That's better than a synth.
@Jason75913
@Jason75913 Ай бұрын
Portamento is in patch settings. Kross2 can make a more passable 303-like acid lead than the Juno. Virus and other such synths don't have pianos, e.pianos, organs, strings, harps, a.guitars, e.bass with cab sim, etc. That's why they can never ever replace workstations.

I hear Roland sounded better but, no sequencer, no SD Card slot with the Roland. Korg wins with so many options to record on as a home studio. As mentioned by one of the reviewers, the volocity curve on the korg should be set to 5 not 4. As far as the feel of the keys, this is ALWAYS missed by reviewers. It's sooooooooooooooooo important, the feel of the key Bed. Please mention that next time and your playing is great. I have not heart any reviewer, and I've listened to lots, talke about how the keys feel. Some keyboards are semi weighted. Is the length of the keys the same as someone mentioned that the Korg was horrible to play on the keys verses the Roland. Sorry, I was referring to GH or grated hammer action keys and you are not playing that keybed here.
@Jason75913
@Jason75913 Ай бұрын
Korg Kross keybed is terrible, any version. The Roland is far better, every version. Now, the Roland can load backing tracks from a USB flash drive. No recording, though. The Roland's sequencer is loop based and pretty great, in my opinion. I love using it. But the Kross2's linear sequencer is serious business. I have and love both keyboards in 61-key versions.

I think the Roland sounds richer and more natural, the Korg was thinner. I might be biased since I own the JunoDS88. On the Junos you can super layer 4 sounds and apply onboard MFX for some wonderful sonic capability but the keybed on that JunoDS 61 is shit.
