Roland Juno Gi Midi Controller

I was looking for a gig bag for my Roland FC-300 Midi Controller and ran across this alternative to Roland's way over-priced proprietary bags. The FC-300 fits perfectly in this bag and has an extra zippered storage area in the front for cables and power adapter. This is a perfect bag at the best price I could find at B&H. Very happy with this purchase.

Use it to connect a Roland TD-17 module to my computer as a midi controller. I was afraid of getting some latency, but it doesn't! Works perfectly.

I grew up on the old Roland Junos, and was especially fond of my Juno 60. The sounds from that, the Juno 106 and Jupiter 8 were in a class by themselves. The System-8 brings all of that back. The sounds are there, as is the layout -- with all the controls out and ready to be tinkered with -- making it a great blast from the past. Having both a Juno 106 and Jupiter 8 all in one, along with the System 8 synth, is pretty sweet. I was skeptical of a digital take on analog sounds, but Roland's ACB technology delivers. It too, is in its own class.

I had been looking around for a case for my Roland Juno-Stage that wasn't hundreds of dollars but that still would give me the protection I needed as well as being easy to move. The Gator GK-76 fit the bill and B&H's price was the best out there and even included free shipping. I've played 2 gigs since I got it and it's great. Protective but light and the built in wheels are a big help. My keyboard is safe & sound in this case!

I will never use another MIDI cable unless it is the Black Series from Roland

holds my midi controller perfectly, real nice.

Top quality cables. Work perfectly with my midi controller.

First of all: I ordered it on B&H and arrived the next day, free shipping!!! Wow! The Arturia Keystep is tremendously versatile and powerful controller. Everything is done right here! Plus, it's built very well!!! If you have hardware/software synths, a good computer (or two), a couple of iPads latest generations, buy it and you'll be more than satisfied! I use mine through Roland Juno-G, Roland GR-20, various laptops, iPads, iMac -- triggering lots of software, and I have to tell you that I can't stop using it! Don't forget one very important thing: it has a conventional MIDI IN/OUT, plus the USB, which also sends MIDI. Look around and try to find out how many controllers offer that sort of versatility?!? And for that price!!!??? Two things I have to figure out: how to save parameters from the Midi Control Center to the Keystep, and if I can plug it in into a battery (RAV) and only send the MIDI to an iPad, in order not to burn too fast through the iPad's battery. Other than that, look at the title of this post!!!

We are now short a drummer on occasion at church and so I needed to do drum tracks. There are Roland drums at church and I also have a Roland kit at home. I have a nice Steinberg audio interface for my iPad 6 running Cubasis but thought why not just use MIDI to record/edit/fix/playback the drum tracks. The Steinberg while great for audio (and MIDI) is kind of big in comparison and a cabling hassle with the additional Lightning camera interface and two wall warts. This IK is awesome. Just the Lightning cable between it and the iPad, and one MIDI cable to either the home (recording) or church (playback) Roland. That's it. Sure it takes battery from the iPad but that's no problem. For me it's a feature to not need a wall wart. I am always recharging multiple devices near-daily anyway.

I use this microphone for DJing, plugs directly into my midi controller and sounds crystal clear.
