Pitch Bend Change

This message transmits whatever motion is made by the Pitch Bend
lever.
Aftertouch
These messages indicates how strongly the keyboard was pressed
after playing a note. There are two types of Aftertouch message:
Channel Aftertouch, which applies to an entire channel; and
Polyphonic Aftertouch, which applies to individual notes.
The JUNO-D cannot transmit Aftertouch messages when its keys are
pressed. Instead, you can do this by transmitting the Aftertouch
assigned to the D Beam, Modulation lever, a pedal, or a knob.

Program Change

This message changes the instrument sound. You can switch Patches
and Rhythm Sets on the JUNO-D using program numbers 1–128 (p.
95).

Control Change

These are messages used for increasing performance expression. By
assigning Modulation (CC# (Controller Number) 1), Pan (CC#10),
Expression (CC#11), and other Control Change messages to the
Modulation lever, pedals, and knobs, you can then use these controls
to change Performances (p. 89).
Bank Select (CC#0, CC#32) messages are used in combination with
Program Change messages to switch Patches and Rhythm Sets (p.
95).

System messages

This category includes exclusive messages, messages used for
synchronization, and messages that keep a MIDI system running
correctly.

Exclusive messages

Exclusive messages are messages used for exchanging patches and
other kinds of data between compatible devices from the same
manufacturer.
If messages exchanged using MIDI were limited only to those that
conform to the universally shared MIDI specifications, it would not
be possible to transmit messages that are unique to a particular
manufacturer, or that are designed specifically for a certain device.
For this reason, MIDI allows for an exclusive format for each
manufacturer, which can be used to exchange a variety of messages.
On the JUNO-D, you can use Exclusive messages to store Patch
settings and other data to sequencers (p. 98).
About MIDI Implementation Charts
Although a variety of messages for performances can be
handled using MIDI, depending on the functions of the
connected device, the messages that can be sent and received
may differ. To see which types of MIDI message a device can
transmit and receive, refer to the MIDI Implementation Chart
that is included in the manual of each device. Messages which
are marked by a circle in the charts of both devices can be
transmitted between the two devices.
Performing with an external MIDI device
Using the JUNO-D to play an
external MIDI sound module
By connecting the JUNO-D to an external MIDI sound module with
a MIDI cable and setting the channels, the external MIDI module can
be used to produce sound when you play the JUNO-D's keyboard.
