Song Player Settings

The JUNO-Di's "SONG PLAYER" has the following two functions.
You can play along on the keyboard to the accompaniment of the music
played back by the song player.
Song Player
This plays back songs (audio files or SMF) saved on USB memory. You can
play back songs in an order specified by a "playlist."
Playlist:
When playing back multiple songs on the JUNO-Di, you can
create a list to specify the order in which the songs will be
played. Use the included "Playlist Editor" software to create a
playlist.
Song list:
This refers to the list of the songs specified in the playlist.
Rhythm Pattern (p. 74)
This plays back rhythm patterns for a wide variety of musical styles.
You can't use the song player and rhythm patterns at the same
time.
Playing Back Music Files
(SONG PLAYER)
Here's the procedure for using the JUNO-Di's song player to play back
music files.
1.
Copy the data from your computer to USB memory.
Music files in SMF, WAV, AIFF, or MP3 formats can be played.
For details, refer to "SMF/Audio Files that can be Played".
2.
Connect your USB memory to the JUNO-Di, and play back
the music file.
• Please use USB memory sold by Roland. We cannot
guarantee operation if other products are used.
• Connect your USB memory after you've turned the JUNO-
Di's power on.
• Never disconnect the USB memory while the power is
turned on.
Creating a playlist
On your computer, start up the included "Playlist Editor" software and
create a playlist. When you want to use the JUNO-Di to play backing
tracks (accompaniment), it's convenient to create a playlist beforehand to
specify the order in which the tracks should be played.
For details on how to create a playlist, refer to the
"PlaylistEditorManualE.pdf" that's installed together with "Playlist Editor."
• You'll need to use the included "Playlist Editor" to create
playlists. You can't create playlists on the JUNO-Di itself.
• Playlist Editor can handle up to 999 songs and 999 playlists,
but the JUNO-Di can use a maximum of 399 songs and 399
playlists.
• You can play back individual songs without creating a
playlist. In this case, you'll need to place the SMF or audio
files in the root directory of your USB memory. A maximum
of 99 songs can be in the root directory.
• Audio files must have a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz in
order to play them.
Folder structure
When you use the included "Playlist Editor" to create a playlist, the
following folders and files are created.
Root directory
ROLAND folder
PLAYLIST folder
Playlists may not be shown if you directly add/delete/modify
the song data in the PLAYLIST folder without using Playlist
Editor.
