Exploring the JUNO-Gi Live Sets

Pianos and Electric Pianos

Let's start out with the JUNO-Gi's first piano live set.
Press the PIANO category button once—there you have it:
1
Play the JUNO-Gi keyboard or hold down the PREVIEW button to hear
2
what 88KeyGrand 1 sounds like.
Now let's have a look and see what gives this live set its sound.
Hold down the SHIFT button, and then press SPLIT to display 88Key
3
Grand 1's LAYER/SPLIT screen.
You'll notice some new things appear on the display as you press
SHIFT—don't worry about them for now. We'll discuss them later.
Pressing SPLIT without holding down SHIFT turns the JUNO-Gi's
keyboard Split feature on and off—we don't want to do that now.
This screen is where you build a live set's foundation by turning on
and selecting the tones you want to use. When a tone is active, its
checkbox is checked. You can also set each tone's volume here.
The four tones in a live set are named:
•
Lower 1
•
Lower 2
As you can see, this live set uses just a single tone: 88KeyGrand 1.
Many of the JUNO-Gi's Preset live sets use a single tone. This one is, in
fact, named after the tone it uses.
Press the EXIT button to leave the LAYER/SPLIT screen and return to
4
the Live Set Play screen.
The JUNO-Gi provides plenty of parameters for customizing the sound
and behavior of each live set. To learn about editing live sets—and
creating your own—see Page 34 of the JUNO-Gi Owner's Manual.
Before we leave the Piano category, press the ENTER button to
5
display a list of piano-based live sets in this category.
Turn the Value dial or use the DEC and INC buttons to select some live
6
sets from this list and give each one a listen.
While you're still on the piano Live Set List screen, press the PIANO
7
category button again to jump to the Electric Piano subgroup.
