Over 1000 EXP sounds are available for free download at Roland's Axial website, including top-quality acoustic piano collections, world instruments, go-to studio standards, percussion, loops, and more. If you don't find what you need there, it's even possible to load in WAV files from your personal library and play them from the keyboard! Out of the box, the Juno-DS88 comes with the versatile EXP-06 Studio Collection preloaded in the wave expansion slot.

Phrase pads for triggering songs and samples

Simply load up the pads with whatever you like - one-shot samples, vocals, sound effects, loops, or complete music tracks - and trigger them with a quick touch when needed.

Mic input with vocoder and auto pitch

Solo performers and singer/songwriters will love the Juno-DS88's mic input which allows you to get great vocal sounds without having to carry around extra gear. There's a dedicated vocal reverb, plus Auto Pitch for singing with the "stepped" electronic vocal effect popular in today's music. You can also sing into a mic and control the tone and pitch via sounds played on the keyboard with the built-in vocoder.

Eight-track pattern sequencer

When you have an idea for a song or beat, you can easily capture and develop it with the onboard pattern sequencer. The intuitive, non-stop operation won't interrupt your creative flow, letting you build up full arrangements with multiple sounds in no time. The sequencer is also perfect for enhancing live performances with pre-made backing music and on-the-fly looping.
