WTB: Roland Juno DS-88 or similar

guitargeek62

My sister’s after one of these so I said I’d see if anyone here has one or something similar.

She’s after it for worship practice and recording, mostly for classic key sounds but with the option of synth-y moments (I’ve suggested a DAW & soft-synths could help too!). Cheers!

I assume that the chief appeal of the DS-88 lies in its eighty eight "progressive hammer action" keys and the built-in vocal processing rather than the ROMpler sound library.

The DAW plug-in software instrument suggestion only helps your sister if she already has a Controller keyboard with which she is already happy.

If your sister is a worship pianist/organist on Sundays and a Rave synthesist from Monday to Saturday, her money might be better invested in a pre-owned Roland Fantom workstation.

If the budget is tight, consider a pre-owned Roland XP-80 and a few SR-JV80 sound expansion boards. The downside to these is the semi-weighted key action will not satisfy a proper, trained pianist.

I picked up an old Yamaha digital stage piano which I use exclusively with NI Kontakt, and various other VST plugins. I was very pleased with the price and functionality, but it weighs a ton and I don't move it around very often

I've got a Korg Krome 88 note keyboard I am about to put up for sale.
Let me know if you think it would suit and I can get photos.
Has a hard case too.
