I was looking at the 61-key models of both of these boards and the only really appealing feature to me with the Juno DS,is the access to the sound libraries(which is quite a dichotomy though)...as Roland has an enormous amount of extra sounds,but only half of the midi tracks and sampler pads and the f**king keyboard costs $100 more than the Korg Kross 2...wtf!? Roland has always created over-priced disasters,when it comes to workstations(particulalrly the Fantom series(shit sounds,not enough memory,ridiculously overpriced expansion cards) and when they finally got the new Fantom keyboard right(great sounds & functionality)... they want $3,400 just for their f**king 61-key model!

I recently acquired the juno. Infact i debated, researched as much as i could on these exact 2 models. I knew they would both have great feeling sounds. It boiled down to vocoder/pitch control, ease of using the interface and the learning curve. After a few videosand live in-store sessions i was drawn to the ease of the roland to get in and out manipulating anything then get out and play. I am sour about its usb step for sampling since korg can plug and play samples. However if you are not familiar with an intro synth, the roland wiĺl be quick fun and rewarding to learn. Ive had it about 2 weeks and the Sounds are sweet. My main gripe is the manual is literally only 15 pages long???? Everything else is a pdf file for paremeters etc. If you really are interested in dropping 700 dollars on a piece of plastic this machine truely has some awesome effects tweaks and customization abilities to make it your own.

Eric, I picked up a 'DS recently as well. I've really only put in 2 sessions fidgeting with the patch parameters, but I can tell you that the Juno Di editor program is very helpful for helping to visualize the signal routing while you edit. The only gotcha I ran into was that the Di editor didn't seem to be compatible with the parameter in the first "tab" on the DS edit screen (on the keyboard itself), so I had to do some fidgeting on the keyboard menu there rather than on the computer screen, notably to assign and save the resulting patch in a user patch memory slot.

It just depends whether you need double the amount? To be frank, I don't utilize the whole 16 tracks, and I must admit, I prefer using my Ableton DAW.

Using a headset makes it easy to see how Korg has a more sophisticated sound. I doubt the quality of the instrument and the best mechanics of the keys to play.

Honestly the only reason I found myself preferring the Juno was because of the sounds feeling bigger than the Korg’s. However in reality the tones from the Juno just seemed larger to me because it felt like they were panned harder to the left and right than the Korg. Once that notion got into my head I couldn’t shake the feeling that the Juno’s sounds were all left and right with much less center, and that’s what did it for me. Korg.

No, the Roland has a thicker sound. Both can pan left and right just as hard, it's up to the user. There is no "lack of center" on either. If you have that much difficulty to decide based on sound, don't forget that the features are very different, and very worth considering as well. In the end, they are both awesome. :)

Trudne zadanie w sensie oceny. W mojej opinii k jest bardziej miękki a co za tym idzie elastyczny. R natomiast ma lekką agresję. Ma jednak przewagę w sensie modulacji nie tylko w sesji ale nawet na żywo. Myślę że ostatecznym rozstrzygnięciem będzie konfrontacja obok na żywo. Innej możliwości nie widzę.

Roland has way more to offer. I mean the sequencer and looper The ability to be creative is what it’s all about today. Roland put 3,000.00 in this keyboard for only 999.00 I traded my Yamaha Mx88 for Juno ds 88 I’m very glad I did 💯 BUY A JUNO TRUST ME !!!

First Impression I’m really debating on buying one of these but I’m torn and can’t make a decision. I’ve been watching video after video reviews and they both get awesome feedback. I’m purchasing to learn how to play piano but I also want to be able to compose my own music/beats. I’m sure they both offer that but what’s you honest take on the Juno? Thanks.

The vr is more like a gigging keyboard. The Juno ds is more like a does it all keyboard. If you want organ with drawbars the vr would be it. The Juno could be setup as a drawbar organ with switching sound patches and a lot of tinkering. The other option is to download more organs from the axial website.
