At the Summer NAMM, Roland surprise-launched this new synth, the Juno-Stage. It looks a lot like the currently availble Juno-G, which I always thought would make a great live board.
What makes this Juno-Stage better? The focus on features for the gigging musician. There’s a 76-key semi-weighted keyboard with elongated keys for your elongated solos. There’s also knobs that can tweak parameters live, like EQ and reverb. And this thing has plenty of ports to plug stuff into: USB sticks, MP3 players (1/8″ jack), and even a microphone port. You could plug everything you’d need as a one-man band in this board and perform!
The Music Player Network has a video straight from the NAMM floor showing off all the features.
I don’t play live much, but I kinda want one anyway!

Freaking MP3 player and USB sticks? That’s awesome. I should learn to play live just so I can use this thing!
sounds good i had it for few weeks and sounds really good
