Eight Phrase Pads Enable Instant Creativity
The JUNO-DS61's eight Phrase Pads make it easy to spontaneously enhance your performance. Load audio files of any type onto a USB drive and trigger them with the touch of a button.

The Phrase Pads open up possibilities for improvisation during live shows or in the recording studio.
Dedicated Vocal Effects for Solo Performers
Singer-songwriters will appreciate the JUNO-DS61's dedicated vocal effects and mic input.

With the JUNO-DS61, solo performers have a complete solution for delivering pro-quality vocals.
