Saving A Song As An Smf File (Save As Smf) - Roland JUNO-G Owner's Manual

Saving/Loading a Song (Save/Load)
File Name and Song Name
Song Files and Standard MIDI Files have a song name in
addition to a file name. The file name is used to distinguish
between files, and must be assigned when you save a file. It will
help you manage songs if you use the file name to distinguish
between types of song, and use the song name to assign a title.
Use the SONG NAME screen (p. 103) to assign a song name.
If you assign a file name that is identical to a file name already
existing in the user area or memory card, and attempt to save, a
message of "File "****" Already Exists! Overwrite Sure?" will
appear, asking you for confirmation. If it is OK to overwrite the
existing file, press [F6 (EXEC)]. If you decide to cancel the Save
operation, press [F5 (CANCEL)].
If you attempt to save data on a memory that was not formatted
by the JUNO-G, a message of "Unformatted!" (memory card
has not been formatted) will appear. Please format the memory
card on the JUNO-G (p. 164).

generator settings.

Song file names may not contain lowercase characters or certain
symbols (space, " * + , . / : ; < = > ? [ \ ] |).

The SAVE SONG screen appears.

card) to select the location where you want to save the
song.

Even if you save your song using "Save," it cannot be played
back by a sequencer other than the JUNO-G's song recorder.
If you want to play back the song's MIDI track on a sequencer
other than the JUNO-G, save the song as an SMF file. Also at
this time, you must record the appropriate bank selects and
program numbers so that the correct sounds will be played.
The performance settings will be saved in the state they were in
when you executed Save. This means that if the performance
changed during the song, and you saved the song in that state
when you finished recording, the state in which recording
began will not be saved. In other words when you play back the
song from the beginning, it will begin with the performance
sounds that were being used at the point where you saved. If
you change the performance during the song, you must use the
Microscope screen etc. to insert the appropriate bank select and
program number at the beginning of the song to specify the
performance with which you began recording it.
Saving Samples (Save all Samples)
Here's how to save all samples from sample memory into user
memory or a memory card.
1.
From the SAVE/LOAD MENU screen, press [F3 (3)].
A message will ask you for confirmation.
2.
Press [F6 (EXEC)] to execute.
* To cancel, press [F5 (CANCEL)].
When samples are saved, they will automatically be overwritten
onto the same number of the same bank in the sample list.

For details on assigning names, refer to p. 24.

symbols (space, " * + , . / : ; < = > ? [ \ ] |).
