At the heart of the instrument, the ZEN-Core engine provides a massive collection of iconic, modern, and essential sounds. Editing is immediate via buttons, sliders, and the Roland pitch bend/modulation lever. The large color screen speeds up navigation, sound selection, and sequencer control.

The 8 phrase pads trigger drums, samples, patterns, and audio files, while the WAV import function expands your palette. The dedicated mic input includes noise gate, EQ, reverb, and compressor, plus vocoder and auto-pitch for creative vocal performances.

On the connectivity side, the USB-C class compliant interface ensures plug-and-play audio/MIDI connection with computers and smartphones for livestreaming and direct recording. USB-C mobile battery power and lightweight construction secure your sessions on the move. The JUNO-D8 version adds a piano-style playing experience with 88 weighted hammer-action keys (PHA-4 keyboard).
