JU-06A + keyboard

Post by johnghadimi »

I saw this picture on the Roland IG account yesterday

The K-25m keyboard unit does not have wood paneling!! Where is this from? Is this a different keyboard unit? I totally want this but not sure how to get it. Any ideas?

mine looks the same :-) It is quite easy to replace the metal sides with wood. I bought mine somewhere on Ebay back then, they are actually just small wooden boards with matching holes.

edit:
maybe it was this one:

ah, so these are separate attachments sold separately. That certainly is not obvious or called out on the Roland site. Thanks for the heads up on that.

I know this is a subjective question, but does this keyboard unit aside from it being very integrated with the JU, bring anything special to the table? I noticed it has no mod or pitch wheel and no octave switcher (which are like pretty much the absolute minimum you'd want to see in a controller). I already have an Arturia Minilab MKII. I'm kinda torn whether I even need this keyboard unit! :)

It's only a unit with mini keys that visually matches with the Boutiques. Any other master keyboard is better...

Appreciate the answer. Totally confirms my instinct on this. :)
