"Los Angeles, CA, June 20, 2008—Roland® Corporation is pleased to announce the new JUNO-Stage synthesizer. As the latest addition to the benchmark JUNO Series, JUNO-Stage is uniquely created for live performance applications.

This professional-grade 76-key synthesizer ships with an essential high-quality sound set, including an 88-key stereo multisampled piano derived from the Fantom-G. Two slots for SRX expansion boards add even more options to a player’s sonic palette. A redesigned keyboard ensures the JUNO-Stage feels as good as it sounds.

The JUNO-Stage includes all the features needed for a streamlined live performance, such as simple split and layer functions, separate reverb and EQ knobs, an intuitive top panel and LED display, and the FAVORITE function. Made popular by the current JUNO series, this function allows for the quick recall of up to 100 unique sounds and keyboard setups. The JUNO-Stage even includes a dedicated XLR microphone input with reverb and a vocoder, adding another unique possibility for a live performance.

The JUNO-Stage effortlessly translates to the studio as well. Using a single button, it is transformed into a MIDI master keyboard, enabling seamless integration with external sound sources and software recording applications. A USB memory port enables playback of .MP3, .WAV, .AIFF, or .SMF files from standard USB flash memory.

With highly refined sounds and features designed for studio and stage, the JUNO-Stage is the perfect synthesizer for any level of performing player and recording artist.

Harvestman Tyme Sefari examples

via Mr. Array:

"I just caught these on the Harvestman mailing list.

The first two come from the user named Loopcycle:

'the doepfer 143-1 gate outs are triggering direction, record and loop functions in the tyme sefari independently. a turntable is feeding the harvestman tyme sefari. i am also switching between frequency shifted and normal versions of the source material.'


'the tyme sefari record cv input is being clocked at audio rates and the loop points are set very close to each other for the metallic effect.'

The third comes from the user named Luigi, who had this to say:

'Heya... well, here is a clip I just made using my new Plan B Tapclock, Malgorithm, Polivoks, a Sequential Switch and a Moog mf-107.

I'll make more clips tomorrow when my Tyme Sefari and Sound Of Thunder come in!
