Chapter 2. Selecting Sounds

Selecting Patches

Each of the various sounds in the JUNO-STAGE is called a "patch."
Some patches are collections of percussion instrument sounds, and
these are called "rhythm sets."
The patches that are built into the JUNO-STAGE are organized into
three groups: User, Preset, and GM. You can also install up to two
wave expansion boards (SRX series; sold separately), giving you even
more patches to choose from.
You can choose from the following patch groups.
USER
This group contains rewritable patches in the JUNO-STAGE's internal
memory.
Patches that you create can be saved in this group. When the JUNO-
STAGE is shipped from the factory, this group already contains 256
patches.
PRST (Preset)
This group contains non-rewritable patches in the JUNO-STAGE's
internal memory.
Although the patches of this group cannot be rewritten, you are free to
modify the settings of the currently selected preset patch and save the
modified patch in the User patch group.
GM (GM2)
This group contains patches compatible with GM2, which was
designed to standardize the functionality of MIDI devices across
manufacturers and models. You cannot rewrite these patches.
Although the patches of this group cannot be rewritten, you are free to
modify the settings of the currently selected preset patch and save the
modified patch in the User patch group. This group contains 256
patches.
XP-A, B
(Wave expansion board installed in the EXP A or B slot)
These groups contain patches in a wave expansion board installed in
the EXP A or B slot. Although the patches of these groups cannot be
rewritten, you are free to modify the settings of the currently selected
patch and save the modified patch in the User patch group. The
number of patches in each of these groups will depend on the wave
expansion board that is installed.
XP-A or B patches can be selected only if an SRX series wave
expansion board (sold separately) is installed in the
corresponding slot.
"Patch List" (p. 193)

Selecting Patches in Patch Mode

Here's how to select a patch in Patch mode.
You can select a patch in any of the following five ways.
• "Using the VALUE Dial to Select a Patch" (p. 45)
• "Selecting Patches from the Patch List" (p. 46)
• "Selecting Patches by Number ([NUMERIC])" (p. 46)
• "Using a Pedal to Select Patches (PATCH SELECT Pedal)" (p. 46)
• Register and select frequently used sounds (Favorite) (p. 47)
The basic procedure is the same in Performance mode as well.
For details, refer to "Playing the JUNO-STAGE in Performance
Mode" (p. 49).
