Roland Juno X Factory Scenes Demo

[@digitaldiezel5870]

Juno-X is a beast. Only spent about 45 minutes with mine so far. I’m not coming out of my hole for a few months.

[@ZadakLeader]

Did you come out yet?

[@tattooguy413]

@@ZadakLeaderI don’t think he made it, man 😢 rip 🪦 😂

[@andyanderson6455]

Finally! a REALLY good walkthrough with no talking on the banks of sounds. Sounds realllllly solid! I'm shocked Roland may have a classic here.

[@benallen5967]

Thank you! I plan to show the individual tones from each model (which are what scenes are made of) in the next video.

[@vincetessier4634]

Very good vidéo ! Very good Sound!

[@damonsiegiel7855]

Honestly I’ve been waiting two years to get a synth for my studio I was very close to getting a Jupiter x but when this came out well I chose it, and those that know why know why. For those that don’t it’s perfectly OK. I’ll just leave it at this, there’s something magical about this synth. I am perfectly aware of the similarities and I’m sure technically we could argue about how they’re identical and how the Jupiter can do just a little bit more a little bit easier but I’m also aware of the differences an those differences, make a difference. 😃

[@jazzbwooy8889]

6:40 that's incredible! Well done!

[@Aetila]

I didn't like the recent Roland digital synths...but THIS one starts to impressing me, the more I listen to it via YT.

[@benallen5967]

So, it is essentially a ZenCore controller, which can also play and install other ZenCore models... technically speaking, it can't do anything you couldn't do with your computer and Roland Cloud.. but it is the "Juno 106/60" vibe that makes it work.. it is just fun to play honestly.

[@Aetila]

@@benallen5967 Yeah, it seems that it still can add some "magic dust" to the engine, to get a great sound. Nowadays I listen to a lot of synthwave stations, it would fit perfectly into such set. But now i have enough racks already, lol. Thanks for the impressive demo!

[@davidsharp3110]

Ben, this is great. I'm still finding new things everyday. I like how we can see you building scenes on the Juno X screen.

[@blasthousemusic]

awesome sound .. just crazy how much potential i hear... good video

[@adamecomp]

Nice Machine!!!

[@carteral-harlem3042]

Thank you.

[@drakeedwards4902]

Went in a music store where a juno x and Jupiter x were next to each other, couldn't get on with the Jupiter x, the juno was far more user friendly , may be I need to revisit again and try and get my head round the jupiter

[@joseroldan1389]

Good explanation about the X. It is possible to use the vocoder with all these scenes sounds ????

[@benallen5967]

@@joseroldan1389 thanks! Yes, you can easily do that.

[@diogoqueiroz4726]

Melhor demonstração da internet. Uma maquina dessas custa 13k (13 salários mínimos) no Brasil. Abraços

[@downpatmusic]

Just based on sound on You Tube this is one of the best sounding poly synths I've heard in a while. Nothing compares to my Pro 3 unfortunately. But this is at least intriguing.

[@Cesarsound1]

I just want one :-)

[@dvamateur]

Hi, do you know if the sliders transmit CC or SysEx messages like the Juno-106 or Roland JD-800's sliders do?

[@antoniocalimero1173]

I mainly hear sounds that you can easily find in the Integra... that device will become 4 times more expensive in the future, because people currently have no idea what it can do 😊

[@briann5001]

I would choose this over a nord stage 4. Just sounds better

[@benallen5967]

Completely different kind of keyboard. The Nord is meant to cover all your keys needs. The Juno X is more like the best of Roland synth wise, with the older expansions thrown in. The Nord allows you to create and import your own samples. The Roland, uses its own database of sounds and provides presets from those. Most of the “sound” of the Juno X is due to it effects. It’s far harder to use than the Nord as well. I would definitely have kept the Juno X if it didn’t seem like it was confused in what it was trying to be. Is it a Fantom lite? Kinda. Is it a TR drum machine? Kinda. Is it like a big Boutique? Kinda. I ended up selling my Juno X and getting a System 8. That knows what it is- it’s a synth, nothing else.

[@joseroldan1389]

It is possible to change the rymth speed???

[@benallen5967]

@@joseroldan1389 yes, easily.

[@allencowley2112]

So do the scenes come w a preprogrammed drum sequence as well, or do you have to program the drums separately. Thanks -

[@mantazzz337]

vintage filter r m s ? what is r m s stand for ?

[@mathieuashe7736]

Filter types: R=Roland, M=Moog, S=Sequential

[@plantpoweredmuscle]

How do you make the drums consistent. Every time I play a melody it only speeds up if I play multiple keys faster. But what if I want the drums to play full while I only play lightly?

[@kimdiez2681]

I don't have a Juno X to answer that, but it surely needs to be answered here !

[@caddyrecords]

Does it make sense to combine Juno X with a YC61 or e.g., MC-101or iPad apps would be sufficient?

[@linkhostr]

does it have chord memory?

[@raelic3]

The hoover patch sounds worse than some VST emulations. Otherwise this thing sounds very nice

[@jeremycayea7541]

Well….I’m sold, just put a deposit on one

[@Dolores5000]

I want one

[@ryanperrault8174]

Is it more synth or workstation?

[@benallen5967]

It can't decide. It seems like it isn't exactly either... and that is why I sold mine.

[@ryanperrault8174]

Interesting...good to know. I've never been a fan of workstations so anything resembling one is almost always an immediate pass for me.@@benallen5967

[@MusicZeroOne]

100% synth. There’s really no workstation functionality.

[@rodolphep0nthus555]

Well that's a good point, it's more a synth with a very rudimentary TR style sequencer and that "AI" arpegiator that no one seems to really understand 😂 My point of view is just buy the Fantom 06, get the Juno 106 plug in, which sounds exactly like this. If you really want the very close Juno 106 /60 emulation, get the JU-06A

[@joseroldan1389]

Do you think that juno x is better than roland jd xa. I dont know what to buy . Thanks for all

[@benallen5967]

@@joseroldan1389 From a purely hardware perspective, definitely. But I prefer the System 8 to both.

[@ilearncode7365]

If it’s digital, isnt it just running a $70 VST? So why get this? It sounds good, but a VST would sound the same if its not analog

[@benallen5967]

You aren't wrong. I don't have mine anymore. You have the advantage of the controls being mostly like the Juno 106/60.. but not all of them are there, and editing the Jupiter encore stuff on here is a nightmare. COMPUTER EDITOR REQUIRED.

[@klarenzjeong8031]

No drums?

[@benallen5967]

You clearly haven’t listened to the whole thing.

[@klarenzjeong8031]

@@benallen5967 You did play every of them?

[@rodolphep0nthus555]

I'm a huge fan of the Juno 106, owned one which I stupidly sold 10 years ago (will all the voices repaired..). Oddly I just don't find the sound in this one. I'm disappointed because was looking forward eventually purchasing a Juno X.. I have the JU06a which is very very close.. Much more than this. I'm not trying to dislike the Juno X at all. More the contrary.. But it just sounds like a Roland modern synth. I think I'll rather buy a good keyboard controller for the JU-06A and feel much happier. In a sense, even if I just crave for the Juno X classic layout, I'm pretty sure I'll have instant buyers remorse. My JU-06A and a Roland A500 keyboard (less than 300 bucks now) will just do it for me. It seems the ACB modeling is quite different than the ABM and that's what I 'm hearing? I' m going to take a look at the Sequencial Take 5 for my analog poly GAS😂

[@vaiman7777]

I own ACB and Juno X, and had all boutiques. There’s literally nothing in it. Remember, these are the factory scenes, designed to show capabilities. Aka drenched in fx. The core sound is there. It’s almost spot on with my OG Juno-60, just not a nice looking or smelly 😅
