Roland’s 2024 synth range is sprawling and can be a little confusing. Between the Aira and Boutique ranges, Fantoms, Junos, Jupiters and JDs, the iconic instrument brand has a multitude of hardware keyboards and modules to choose from, with a fair amount of crossover between models when it comes to the sounds and features on offer.
That picture has just gotten a touch more complicated with the introduction of another new version of an existing keyboard line – the Juno-D. The original Juno-D arrived in the mid-’00s, offering an affordable keyboard-workstation equipped for various styles of aspiring and gigging musicians. The range has evolved over the years, with the last instalments being the Juno-DS range launched in 2015.
