Using the D Beam Controller to
Modify the Sound
The D Beam controller can be used simply by waving your hand over
it. It can be used to apply various effects, depending on the function
that is assigned to it. On the JUNO-STAGE, the D Beam controller can
be used not only to modify the sounds, but also to control the pitch of
a monophonic (solo) synthesizer sound.
1.
Press either the D BEAM [SOLO SYNTH], [ACTIVE EXPRESS], or
[ASSIGNABLE] button to turn on the D Beam controller.
