Only seldom does a manufacturer come out with a product that begs the question, "are these guy's totally nuts? At roughly half the cost of a JUNO Stage, you'd think that the Roland JUNO Di would have half to features, right? WRONG! This baby's totally packed with goodies! We're talking about over a 1,000 of the best pianos, synths, pads, drums, effects, and more that you could want in the studio, onstage, or anywhere else. No, serious, "anywhere else" is right! Say you want to play your JUNO Di while whitewater rafting in the Amazon... all you need is some AAs and not a little bit of balance and you're set. In fact, the JUNO Di can run for about five hours off of batteries alone.
