Using the Chord Memory Function

About the Chord Memory
Function
Chord Memory is a function that allows you to play chords based on
pre-programmed Chord Forms, just by pressing a single key on the
keyboard. The JUNO-G can store 64 preset chord forms and 64 user
chord forms. If you wish, you can overwrite any of the 64 user
(factory set) chord forms.
The chord memory function operates on the arpeggio part in
Performance mode. If a rhythm set is selected for that part, you can
also use this to play rhythms.
When you use the Chord Memory function with a tone for
which the Mono/Poly Parameters (p. 37) is Mono, only one
sound in the chord is played. When using the Chord Memory
function to turn Poly the Mono/Poly Parameters.
Using in Combination with the Arpeggio
Function
When performing with the Chord Form function, you can also
use it along with the Arpeggio function (p. 73). After first
storing complex Chord Forms in memory, you can then call
them up when Arpeggio is on, and you can easily create
complex arpeggio sounds just by pressing a single key.

Sounding a chord in the order of
its notes (Rolled Chord)
