There's a video of the Summer NAMM demo of the Juno D at

Looks OK. But I'd reckon that Korg's Microkorg or MS2000BR would eat it for value.

Its pretty sad that Roland had to scrape the bottom of the barrel like that and use the "Juno" name with such a crappy product.
The Juno D is nothing more than a repackaged RS50 - hardly something worthy of being named after such a classic line of synths from the 80's.

RS 50 claims to be a playing synth, and forget about MIDI according to http://www.rolandus.com/products/details.asp?catid=8&subcatid=36&prodid=RS-50
The Juno D claim is that it is a midi capable synth. GM2.
What I read into it, is that you could play midi's very well, and have a performance synth, too. No need to have a synth module for midi.
The Juno D is not in the Roland site, from what I can tell

Huh? Do you even know what you're talking about? All Roland synths built in the last 5-10 years are fully MIDI capable and have onboard GM sound banks

What does having a separate synth module have to do with anything?

For the record, even a used XP30 would be better than this piece of crap. At least the XP30 had expansion capabilities in the form of SR-JV expansion boards.
