Page 14: Getting Ready
Getting Ready Connections Since JUNO-G contains no amplifier or speakers, you’ll need to connect it to audio equipment such as a keyboard amplifier, monitor speaker system or home stereo, or use headphones to hear its sound. In order to fully experience the JUNO-G’s sound, we recommend using a stereo amp/speaker system. If you’re using a mono system, however, make your connections to the JUNO-G’s OUTPUT A (MIX) jack L (MONO).
Page 15: Turning On/Off The Power
• Have the volume controls of the JUNO-G and all connected audio devices been turned to their lowest settings? • Have you saved your JUNO-G sounds or other data you’ve created? Turn off the power for all connected audio devices.
Page 16: Various Performance Features
Various Performance Features Velocity The velocity—the force with which you play the keyboard—can affect the volume or timbre of a sound. Pitch Bend/Modulation Lever While playing the keyboard, move the lever to the left to lower the pitch of the currently selected patch, or to the right to raise its pitch (pitch bend).
Page 17: Overview Of The Juno-G
LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) Use the LFO to create cyclic changes (modulation) in a sound. The JUNO-G has two LFOs. You can use the LFO to apply an effect to either the WG (pitch), the TVF (filter), or the TVA (volume). When an LFO is applied to the WG pitch, a vibrato effect is produced.
Page 18: Rhythm Sets
LFO 2 Envelope Part On the JUNO-G, a “part” is something to which you assign a patch or rhythm set. In Patch mode you can assign a patch or rhythm set to the keyboard. In Performance mode, each performance has sixteen parts, and you can assign a patch or rhythm set to each part.
Page 19: About Memory
Calculating the Number of Voices Being Used The JUNO-G is able to play up to 128 notes simultaneously. The polyphony, or the number of voices (sounds) does not refer only to the number of patches actually being played, but changes according to the number of tones used in the patches, and the number of waves used in the tones.
Page 20: About The Onboard Effects
(except GM2). Wave Expansion Board (SRX Series) The JUNO-G can be equipped with a Wave Expansion Board (SRX series; sold separately). Wave Expansion Boards contain Wave data, as well as patches and rhythm sets that use this Wave data, which can be called directly into the temporary area and played.
Page 21: About The Song Recorder
If a song has the same tempo from beginning to end, the Tempo track can be ignored. When a song is first recorded on the JUNO-G, a tempo setting at the time of recording will be stored at the beginning of the Tempo track.
Page 22: About Audio Track Recording
Song File (.SVQ, .SVA) Each song you create on the JUNO-G is saved as two files; a file with a name consisting of the song name and an extension of “.SVQ” (the SVQ file), and a file with an extension of “.SVA” (the SVA file). The SVQ file contains mainly the data of the MIDI tracks.
Page 23: Basic Operation Of The Juno-G
The JUNO-G has two sound generating modes: Patch mode, Performance mode. You can select the sound generating mode (state) that is most appropriate for how you are playing the JUNO-G. Use the following procedure to switch between these modes. Patch Mode This is the mode you’ll use to play a single sound (patch/rhythm set)
Page 24: Moving The Cursor
To change the value, use the VALUE dial or the [INC] [DEC] buttons. fig.VALUE In each screen of the JUNO-G, you can use the cursor buttons to move the area displayed as highlighted, and modify its value. VALUE Dial Turning the VALUE dial clockwise increases the value, counterclockwise decreases the value.
Page 25: Playing In Patch Mode
There are also sample patches (USAM, CSAM) that can use samples as patches. USER This is the group inside the JUNO-G which can be rewritten. Patches you yourself create can be stored in this group. The JUNO-G includes 256 preset patches and 32 rhythm sets.
Page 26: Selecting Patches In The Main Screen
Use the VALUE dial or [INC] [DEC] to select a patch (or a rhythm set). Selecting Patches by Category The JUNO-G allows you to specify a type (category) of patch so that you can quickly find the desired patch. There are a total of 38 categories.

Page 45 MISC Tone Delay This produces a time delay between the moment a key is pressed (or released), and the moment the tone actually begins to sound. You can also make settings that shift the timing at which each tone is sounded. This differs from the Delay in the internal effects, in that by changing the sound qualities of the delayed tones and changing the pitch for each tone, you can also perform arpeggio-like passages just by pressing one key.
Page 46 Creating a Patch Modulating Sounds/Output An LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) causes change over a cycle in a sound. Each tone has two LFOs (LFO1/LFO2), and these can be used to cyclically change the pitch, cutoff frequency and volume to create modulation-type effects such as vibrato, wah and tremolo. Both LFOs have the same parameters so only one explanation is needed.
Page 47 Parameter Value Explanation Pan Depth ★ -63– +63 How deeply the LFO will affect the pan Positive (+) and negative (-) settings for the Depth parameter result in differing kinds of change in pitch and volume. For example, if you set the Depth parameter to a positive (+) value for one tone, and set another tone to the same numerical value, but make it negative (-), the modu- lation phase for the two tones will be the reverse of each other.

Page 52: Functions Of Rhythm Set Parameters
Creating a Rhythm Set Tips for Using an Acoustic Instrument’s Waveform With many acoustic instruments such as piano and sax, extreme timbral changes occur during the first few moments of each note. This initial attack is what defines much of the instrument’s character. For such waveforms, it is best to use the complex tonal changes of the attack portion of the waveform just as they are, and to use the envelope only to modify the decay portion.

Playing in Performance Mode A performance contains settings that apply to each individual part, such as the patch (rhythm set) assigned to each part, and its volume and pan. Broadly speaking, Performance mode consists of two screens: PLAY screen and MIXER screen. Use the PLAY screen when you want to combine multiple sounds (patches or rhythm sets) to create complex sounds.
Page 59: Selecting A Performance
The JUNO-G has three performance groups, including the User group, Preset groups and Memory Card groups. USER This is the group inside the JUNO-G which can be rewritten. Performances you yourself create can be stored in this group. The JUNO-G contains 64 preset performances.

Page 86: Playing Back A Song Repeatedly
Playing Back a Song Changing the Playback Tempo of a Song The tempo at which a song will play back is recorded on its tempo track, but the tempo of the entire song can be adjusted during playback. The tempo at which the song actually plays is called the playback tempo.
Page 87: Recording A Song (Midi Track)
The reason for this is that in this mode, only the sound of the specified MIDI channel will be heard when you record while playing the keyboard of the JUNO-G, and that when the song is played back, the parts can independently play up to 16 different sounds.
Page 88: Recording Your Performance As You Play It (Realtime Recording)
Recording a Song (MIDI Track) Specifying the Time Signature Before you record a new song, you must specify the time signature. However, a time signature of 4/4 is automatically specified when you perform the Song Initialize operation or when the power is turned on, so you will need to make this setting only if you want to record a new song in a different time signature.

This is convenient when you want to audition the sound that you will use next, or to practice the phrase that you will record next.
Page 93 Gate Time The relation between the length of the note value and the gate time is shown below. Since the JUNO-G’s song recorder uses a TPQN (Ticks Per Quarter Note; i.e., resolution) of 480, a quarter note gate time is 480 ticks.
Page 94: Editing A Song (Midi Track)
Loading and Playing a Song (Load Play) (p. 84). MIDI TRACK Screen The JUNO-G is able to record data of multiple MIDI channels. This screen graphically shows the note data of each channel. The height of the bar indicates the note pitch, and the length of the bar indicates the duration.
Page 95 Alternatively, it is also possible to quantize a song that has already been recorded. The JUNO-G has a Preview function that allows playing back the results of a Quantize operation while you are still setting parameters (before actual execution). This helps to make optimal Quantize settings.

• There are parameters that determine whether or not specific MIDI messages are received for each MIDI channel (p. 67). When using the multi-effects control, confirm that any MIDI messages used for the multi-effects control will be received. If the JUNO-G is set up such that reception of MIDI messages is disabled, then the multi-effects control will not function.
Page 130: Specifying The Multi-Effects Structure (Mfx Structure)
System Exclusive messages tend to be complicated, and the amount of data that needs to be transmitted can get quite large. For that reason, a number of the more typical of the JUNO-G’s multi-effects parameters have been designed so they accept the use of Control Change (or other) MIDI messages for the purpose of making changes in their values.

Page 159 Explanation Scale Tune for Patch Mode The JUNO-G allows you to play the keyboard using temperaments other than equal temperament. The pitch is specified in one-cent units relative to the equal tempered pitch. * One-cent is 1/100th of a semitone.
Page 160: System Control
Sequencer Typically, things are hooked up so the data travels as follows: the JUNO-G’s keyboard → your external sequencer software → the JUNO-G’s sound generator. Normally, the JUNO-G’s keyboard section is internally connected to its sound generator section; this internal connection is controlled by the Local Switch.
Page 161 30: 30 frames per second, non-drop format * When synchronizing with a hard disk recorder such as the Roland VS series, any frame rate is all right—as long as the setting matches that of the JUNO-G. However, when synchronizing operation with video devices such as video decks, the video de- vice’s frame rate is fixed, so the JUNO-G’s setting must correspond to that frame rate.
Page 162 Types of MTC The types of MTC that can be selected by the JUNO-G are shown below. Select the same frame rate as that set for the external device. When not using a video device, then any frame rate may be selected as long as the rates are the same on both devices being synchronized.

Page 239: Examples Of Actual Midi Messages
■Example of an Exclusive Message and Calculating a Checksum Roland Exclusive messages (RQ1, DT1) are transmitted with a checksum at the end (before F7) to make sure that the message was correctly received. The value of the checksum is determined by the address and data (or size) of the transmitted Exclusive message.
Page 240 ❍Equal Temperament This method of tuning divides the octave into 12 equal parts. It is currently the most widely used form of tuning, especially in occidental music. On the JUNO-G, the default settings for the Scale Tune feature produce equal temperament.
