Versatile, Expandable Sound Set
Carefully crafted for the stage, JUNO-STAGE's factory patch set covers a wide range of essential sounds, including the flagship 88-key stereo multi-sampled piano. Every JUNO-STAGE can also be expanded and customised via two Roland SRX Wave Expansion Boards (sold separately).

Instant Access to Sounds
On-stage, you need quick and effortless access to your patches. JUNO-STAGE is equipped with FAVOURITE buttons for instant access to banks of your most-needed sounds. Best of all, you can also recall your patches via a dual footswitch* connected to a dedicated Patch Select jack, so you never have to take your hands off the keyboard.

*Connect an optional FS-6 dual footswitch to scroll up or down through patches and performances.

Live-Performance Control
Roland optimised JUNO-STAGE's controllers for live performance, featuring easy-to-grab knobs for instant Master EQ and Reverb control. Located above the pitch bender, two assignable switches can be used for rotary organ effects, portamento on/off, and more.

Backing Tracks Via USB
JUNO-STAGE is equipped with a USB port and Song Player function that enables direct playback and control of backing tracks from a USB key. You can play MP3, WAV, AIFF, and SMF files, and even use the Centre Cancel feature to minimise pre-recorded vocals of audio data for karaoke-style performance.

Creating and editing audio Playlists is simple with the supplied Playlist Editor software for PC; the playlist can be viewed on JUNO-STAGE's display.

Instant Master MIDI Control
The fast and friendly MIDI Controller mode, complete with dedicated buttons, transforms JUNO-STAGE into a MIDI master keyboard. In this mode, JUNO-STAGE allows program and control changes to be sent with a single touch. For computer-based track making. Cakewalk's SONAR LE software for PC is bundled.

Stage-Friendly Bonus Features
 JUNO-STAGE is packed with great features for live performance, such as an XLR mic input with phantom power (ideal vocal sing-along performance or driving the built-in vocoder), Click Output (for sending an audible click track to bandmates onstage), and an external input for a portable audio player.
