Designed for the professional musician, the JUNO-D8 combines Roland’s flagship sounds, intuitive controls and advanced performance tools in a portable package. With its robust features and premium keybed, the JUNO-D8 is the perfect choice for performers who need both expressive playability and powerful sounds.

Unmatched Playability With Weighted Keys and Hammer Action

The JUNO-D8 features Roland’s acclaimed PHA-4 keyboard, offering 88 fully weighted keys with hammer action. Whether you’re playing delicate piano passages or synth-driven riffs, the JUNO-D8 provides a responsive and expressive playing experience that feels just like an acoustic piano, making it ideal for live performances and studio sessions alike.

Professional-Grade Sounds With Endless Possibilities

At the heart of the JUNO-D8 is the powerful ZEN-Core sound engine, providing over 3,800 pro-level sounds. From pianos and electric keys to vintage synths and orchestral tones, the JUNO-D8 delivers a vast sound library to suit any musical style. Additionally, the Roland Cloud allows you to expand your sound palette with new Sound Packs and Wave Expansions, ensuring you always have the perfect sound at your fingertips.

Advanced Performance Features for Gigging Musicians

The JUNO-D8 offers a suite of features tailored to live performers. Hands-on sliders, knobs and a pitch bend/modulation lever give you instant control over your sound. Create backing tracks on the fly with the eight-track pattern sequencer and trigger samples, rhythm patterns and audio files with the phrase pads. The mic input and vocal effects add even more versatility, allowing you to incorporate vocals with reverb, compression and vocoder effects.

    Replaced my MX88 for this. Way better keyboard response since the MX88 keys are stiff and can't keep up with repetitive notes at faster paced music. The JD800 piano patch is way better to cut across band and mix. Love the weight and look of the instrument; looks professional. Love the balanced TRS line output and love the faster transfer rate of the USB-C.. Overall, this keyboard has the best response, sound , and compatibility for Daws and live performance. I am excited about the fader for upper patch as it lets me use the keyboard as an audio interface while keeping the keyboard's volume matched. A true performance/production keyboard. Best experience is: key response and sound. Also, balanced TRS output and ability to upload sound patches from Roland cloud. In addition, the ivory feel on keys is amazing.

  • Meh…took it back

    I'm a 20 year pro musician singer songwriter producer worship leader. I wanted a keyboard with great keys, options to fade other layers in and out, and light weight. The keys felt very nice! The synth sounds are awesome! But overall, I felt like it was a toy keyboard. Here's why: Piano sounds were like my first Casio 210 sound bank keyboard from the 80s. The sequencer buttons and the drum pad buttons were worse than buttons on a fig-it cube(hilariously cheap feeling). They tried to take some of the flagship features and cheapify them into this board. To be honest, I felt robbed by those buttons! I tried to go on the Zen cloud to get better piano sounds, but I couldn't find something that sounded real and expressively dynamic. Because of this I took it back. A 3out of 5 because the keys felt great and the synth sounds were great. If you want a synth sound and some good keys, it's the board for you.
