I mean the thing even had an expansion slot for SRX cards! All Roland had to do was replace that problematic display, bring the sound set up to date and give it a proper audio/midi interface. I can live without the midi sequencer but to be told there will also be no software editor is just a massive slap in the face from Roland.Īs far as I can see there really wasn't much wrong with the Juno G. For me the biggest letdown is no software editor. Yes it has great sounds but there is more to a good keyboard than just the sounds. Most people by now can see it's not a viable replacement for the Juno G as the whole thing has gone backwards not forward. I don't think it's selling very well anyway. They went from Juno G to Juno Di to Juno Gi.

It should have all the features of the Juno G if it's billed as it's successor or they just deceived buyers into thinking so with the play on the name.

Of course there will be nay sayers who say it is what it is. I think it was just to say we updated, however useless it was. Funny, when I heard of the update, and what it allegedly fixed, I checked it before updating and found no problem. The only update has been for something I had heard no one complain about. I must agree that it appears the Juno Gi was rushed to the market. Some will purchase when the keyboard hits the market, but thats good, they will give honest reviews of the product unlike these hired reviewers. Most buyers will wait until all issues are addressed, and editors are shipped with the keyboard. The Jupiter 80 and all keyboards they produce from this point will be met with great scrutiny. Unless Roland (Japan) really think that we are all idiots. How many sales will be lost because of all of the negative feedback and lack of customer service. It just makes good business sense to complete this keyboard.

It's not as though all of the keyboards sold have to be recalled. The thing is that all of the missing elements of this keyboard are fixable through software upgrades.
