Using The Juno-Di As A Midi Sound Module; Playing The Juno-Di From An External Midi Device; Setting The Receive Channel - Roland JUNO-Di Owner's Manual

Connecting an External MIDI Device
Using the JUNO-Di as a MIDI Sound
Module
You can use the JUNO-Di as a MIDI sound module in one of two ways; in
Patch mode to play a single tone, or in Performance mode to play more
than one tone simultaneously.
Patch mode
In Patch mode you can use a connected keyboard or other device to play
a single tone (patch) on the JUNO-Di. Since Patch mode lets you use a
variety of effects on a single tone (patch), you can play very rich textures.
In Patch mode it's also easy to edit the selected sound, so this is the mode
to use when editing or creating your own sounds.
In Patch mode, the [PERFORM] button will be extinguished.
Performance mode
In Performance mode you can use multiple tones (patches) or rhythm
sets simultaneously.
If the [PERFORM] button is on (lit), the JUNO-Di is in Performance mode.
A performance contains sixteen "Parts." You can assign a tone (patch) or
rhythm set to each part, and use them as an ensemble, or layer sounds to
create rich textures.
How a performance is structured
A performance has a tone (patch) or rhythm set assigned to each of the
16 parts, and can simultaneously handle 16 sounds.
Part
A "part" is something to which you assign a tone (patch) or rhythm set. In
Performance mode, each performance has sixteen parts, and you can
assign a tone (patch) or rhythm set to each part.

Setting the Receive Channel

You'll need to match your external MIDI device's transmit channel with
the JUNO-Di's receive channel.
In Patch mode
The receive channel setting is one of the "system settings." As described
in "Procedure for Making System Settings" (p. 75), select the "MIDI"
menu, select "Patch Rx/Tx Ch" as the item you want to set, and specify the
receive channel.
In Performance mode
The JUNO-Di supports GM2; when it receives the MIDI message "GM2
System On," it will be ready to play back GM2-compatible SMF.
Alternatively, you can press the [PERFORM] button and select "64: GM2
Template" to use the JUNO-Di as a GM2 sound module.
If you want to use the JUNO-Di as a sound module to play multiple parts,
press the [PERFORM] button and select "63:Seq:Template."
• If "63: Seq:Template" or "64: GM2 Template" are selected, the receive
channels will be set as follows: part 1 to ch.1, part 2 to ch.2, ... part 16
to ch.16.
• If Super Layer is selected, the receive channel is fixed at channel 1.
• If Dual or Split are selected, the receive channel for part 1 (upper) is
set to channel 1, and part 2 (lower) to channel 2.
