Roland JU-06A Operation Manual page 11

TURNING THE JU-06A ON
Before turning the unit on/off, always be sure to turn the volume down. Even with the volume turned
down, you might hear some sound when switching the unit on/off. However, this is normal and does not
indicate a malfunction.
When handling the sound module while adjusting its angle or during installation into the K25M or Base
unit, please be careful not to get your fingers pinched between the movable part and the unit. In places
where small children are present, make sure that an adult provides supervision and guidance. Once a
kid sees that these can be adjusted, they'll be sure to want to try it too. This can be treacherous for small
fingers, so either keep the unit out of the case, or up and safely away from offspring when you aren't
with them, cool?
Don't use any old micro USB charger cable. Charge-only cables cannot transmit data. You want to get a
proper USB Micro Type B cable as opposed to something in a drawer that came with your phone.
USING THE BUTTONS AS A KEYBOARD
If you don't have a midi controller, or the K25 keyboard attachment, you can still play the JU-06A as an
instrument without anything else. It's odd, but it's also nice to be able to just bring it with you, and
nothing else.
1. Press the KEYBOARD [NOTE] button to make it light. Step buttons [1]–[12] are lit.
2. Perform by pressing step buttons [1]–[12].
You can use step buttons [13] and [14] to shift the keyboard's pitch range in one-octave units. You can
use step buttons [15] and [16] to switch between solo/unison/poly modes.
