Playing Bossa Nova - Roland JUNO-Di Owner's Manual

Playing Bossa Nova

This section explains how to play a Bossa Nova pattern using just your left hand. Use the JUNO-Di's "Chord Memory"
function to play complex chords with a single key. You also use the "Arpeggio" function, which allows you to create
arpeggios simply by playing chords.
