Quick and easy sound editing To edit the sounds (patches) of the JUNO-D, you simply choose from the wide range of “tones” (pre-programmed instrumental sounds) and edit them. Editing is easy; you can adjust the brightness (filter), attack and decay, modulation (LFO), and effects, or layer two tones to create a rich sound.

  • Page 14: Getting Ready

    Getting ready Connecting the JUNO-D to external equipment The JUNO-D does not contain an amp or speaker. You’ll need to listen to it through powered monitors, a mixer and connected monitors, a stereo system, or through headphones. Connect as follows when using the JUNO-D as a stand-alone device.

  • Page 15: Turning On The Power

    • Is the AC adapter correctly connected to the JUNO-D? 941, 942 Press the power switch on the rear panel of the JUNO-D to turn on the power. fig.q01-02 Turn on the power of the connected audio devices.

  • Page 16: Adjusting The Display Contrast

    Turning off the power Before you turn off the power, make sure of the following points. • Are the volume controls of the JUNO-D and the other connected equipment turned to the minimum position? • Have you saved the sounds or other data you’ve created? (p. 48, p. 53, p. 59) Turn off the power for all connected audio devices.

Use VALUE [-]/[+] to select sounds within the category group. Selecting sounds by category In Patch mode, the direct access buttons [0]–[9] act as category select buttons.

  • Page 22: Selecting A Rhythm Set

    Select patches as described in Selecting a patch by category (p. 20). Press [AUDITION] once again or press [EXIT] to stop the patch audition. Selecting a rhythm set The JUNO-D provides rhythm sets that let you play different percussion instrument sounds or special effects from each key. fig.q04-04 Press [PATCH] so it is lit and you are in Patch mode.

  • Page 23: Changing The Way In Which The Arpeggios Are Sounded

    Arpeggio function lets you produce an arpeggio simply by holding down a chord, and is also a convenient way to input a performance into an external sequencer. Since the JUNO-D provides arpeggio templates that are suitable for the various sounds you select, you can produce appropriate arpeggios immediately.
  • Page 24 Chord Memory is a function that lets you play a chord simply by touching just one key to which a “Chord Form” has been registered. On the JUNO-D you can register different chord forms to each key and save these chord forms as sets (multi-chord memory) and recall them when desired.

  • Page 25: Switching Chord Sets

    ■ Switching chord sets Then, try to change chord sets. fig.q04-10 Use VALUE [-]/[+] to select a Chord Set. The user chord set appears after the preset chord sets. When you press [EXIT], the Multi-chord Memory function will remain on and you will return to the previous screen.

  • Page 26: Applying Various Effects To The Sound

    Using the five panel knobs, you can change the tone in real time. On the JUNO-D, each patch consists of two tones; the upper tone and the lower tone (p. 40). The way that the tones are sounded (Single/Split/Dual) is saved in each patch, and you can change this using [KEY MODE] (p.
  • Page 27 ■ Vibrato and Wah effects (LFO) The LFO, short for “low frequency oscillator,” makes changes to the sound in periodic fashion. Changing the pitch with the LFO produces the “vibrato effect,” and by changing the filter cutoff frequency with the LFO, you get what is called the “wah effect.”...
  • Page 28 Applying various effects to the sound ■ Changing the sound’s volume (ENVELOPE) The volume continues to change from the time a key is pressed to when it is released. A: Attack Time: The time from when the keyboard is pressed until the maximum tonal change is reached.

  • Page 29: Using A Lever To Modify The Sound

    ■ Changing the brightness of the sound and adding special qualities (CUTOFF/RESONANCE) The sound generator section of the JUNO-D contains a filter that can cut or boost specific frequency regions of the sound. [CUTOFF] specifies the frequency (cutoff frequency) at which the filter will begin to modify the sound, and [RESONANCE] boosts the region near the cutoff frequency to add a distinctive character to the sound.

  • Page 30: Using A Pedal To Modify The Sound

    This is also convenient in a situation below. When playing sounds outside the keyboard’s range While the JUNO-D features a 61-key keyboard, with some songs you may want to play notes even higher or lower. Also, when playing a Rhythm Set etc., there may be percussion instruments that the JUNO-D’s keyboard is not able to access.

  • Page 31: D Beam Controller

    Moving the key range in half-steps (TRANSPOSE) This function moves the key range in half-step units. This is convenient in situations like the ones below. When matching the vocalist’s register Sometimes melodies may extend outside a vocalist’s register. Therefore, if you want to perform with the song changed to a different key, you can play the song in a new key while still using the same fingering as before.

  • Page 32: Active Express (Active Expression)

    Applying various effects to the sound While playing the keyboard to produce sound, place your hand over the D Beam, and slowly move it up and down. An effect will be applied to the sound, depending on the function that is assigned to the D Beam controller.

If it does not function as you expect, adjust the sensitivity as appropriate for the brightness of your location.
  • Page 35 Using the JUNO-D effects Three separate effects are always available in the JUNO-D. You can independently edit each effect’s settings. Multi-Effects The JUNO-D contains 47 different multi-effects, including distortion and a rotary speaker simulation. Chorus Chorus adds a sense of depth and spaciousness to patches.
