If you want your band to get noticed, you need to get out there. Whatever you've got in the diary, the JUNO-DS61 's compact size and 11.7lb weight means it's easy to transport, load in and set up, so you'll never have to turn down a career-making gig across town, miss a vital band rehearsal or arrive late to a recording session. As a modern musician, you'll do most of your recording on a home computer using a DAW - and the JUNO-DS61 has everything you need, no extra gear required. With optional battery operation for street performance, and a mic input that lets you create pro vocals without external gear, the JUNO-DS61 is ready for every scenario the music industry can throw at you.

Create your signature sound with ease instantly
Some synths make you stick with the factory settings, which can leave your music sounding generic - but the JUNO-DS61 is wide open. The instant-access design lets you call up pro sounds in seconds. Even if this is your first synth, it's simple to dig into an array of adjustable parameters and create your own voice. Select the performance mode and you can set up advanced sounds like layering strings onto the acoustic piano, or assigning organ and bass to your right and left hands respectively. Create and tweak patches, shape sounds during a song with hands-on controls, and connect expression pedals via the rear panel to take your performance to the next level.

Stand out from the crowd with unique vocal effects
If you're a solo performer or singer / songwriter, you'll love the JUNO-DS61 's mic input, which lets you get great vocal sounds without having to carry around extra gear. There's a dedicated vocal reverb, plus Auto Pitch for singing with the “stepped” electronic vocal effect popular in today's music. The built-in vocoder is inspirational too, allowing you to sing into a mic and control the tone and pitch via sounds played on the keyboard. If you want to jam but don't have bandmates available, you can add instant beats under your keyboard parts using the JUNO-DS61 ' s eight Phrase Pads, or copy audio data (MP3 / WAV) to the USB memory and play along with full-band backing.
