Roland Juno Gi
Mobile synth power with USB MIDI & Audio
A new, unique synth from Roland
that answers many educational
needs... in performance, recording
and at the computer.
Roland’s new JUNO-Gi is the big brother of
the JUNO-Di... which has proven to be a
particularly popular synth in schools since
it’s release in 2009. And like it’s little brother, the for the JUNO-Gi during street performances.]
JUNO-Gi can run off batteries. But you will soon
discover that this is a real powerhouse for educa-
tors as it can be used by students performing and
creating in a wide variety of settings, from upper
primary through tertiary.
New Soundbank
With over 1,300 factory selections that cover a
universe of instrument types and musical styles
the JUNO-Gi gives students a huge palette to work
with. Besides it’s own performance capabilities, it
is also very useful for filling in for many instru-
ments that may be otherwise missing in your band
or ensemble.
Tone Category buttons help you scan the vast
library and locate the best sound with ease and
speed. New to the JUNO-Gi are Live Sets, which
comprise up to four layered tones each — cre-
ate your own unique sounds by stacking and/or
splitting tones and saving them together as a Live
Set. Furthermore, a Special Live Set section takes
maximum advantage of the JUNO-Gi sound engine
for the most advanced synth sounds.

Performance and Portability
The JUNO-Gi provides supreme mobility thanks to
its lightweight body and battery-power compat-
ibility (up to three hours of continuous operation
with eight rechargeable NiMH AA batteries), letting
you experience the freedom of performance in any
environment. [Roland’s battery-powered amps such
as the BA-330 and KC-110 are perfect companions
Students will also appreciate the JUNO-Gi’s
friendly front panel, which is covered with hands-
on controls, clearly marked and easy to reach. The
enlarged 240 x 64 graphic LCD provides clear
visibility and fast navigation, even on outdoor gigs and MIDI functionality — all you need to stream
with troublesome sunglare.

The JUNO-Gi includes a host of high quality digital

designed for vocal processing. Connect a guitar or
microphone directly and apply these top-quality ef-
fects for instant CD-quality sound as you record.

audio and MIDI back and forth and interface with
