About This Booklet - Roland JUNO-G Workshop Manual

About the Workshop Booklets
Roland's JUNO synthesizers have been making history since the 1980s.
They've always been affordable, easy to use, and sounded great onstage
and in the studio. The JUNO-G carries on the family tradition in the most
modern way, with 128-note polyphony and killer sounds derived from
Roland's acclaimed Fantom-X synths—even more sounds are available when
you install an optional SRX-series sound expansion board. The JUNO-G has
a user-friendly 16-track sequencer, 4-track audio recorder, and a full-on
sampler that give you the tools you need to bring your songs to life. A
USB jack allows you to easily exchange data with—or edit JUNO-G sounds
from—a personal computer. And it's all tied together with a look and feel
that's both familiar and intuitive.
This JUNO-G Workshop Series booklet is intended as a companion to the
JUNO-G Owner's Manual. It requires JUNO-G Operating System v2.0 or higher.
You can download the latest JUNO-G O.S. for free from www.RolandUS.com.

Setting Up the JUNO-G
Making the Power Connection
Assemble the JUNO-G's two-piece power adaptor.
1
Plug the AC end into a grounded power outlet.
2
Plug the other end into the JUNO-G's rear-
3
panel DC IN jack.
You can wrap the cable at the DC end of the
power adaptor around the cord hook to the left
of the DC IN jack to help avoid unintentionally
yanking out the plug or damaging the adaptor.
It's best not to power up until you've made your
audio connections, which we'll discuss next.
