Settings Common to All Modes (System Function)
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.
30: This is 30 frames per second, non-drop format. This is used by audio devices such as analog tape recorders, and for NTSC format
black and white video (used in Japan and the U.S.).
29N: This is 29.97 frames per second, non-drop format. This is used for NTSC format color video (used in Japan and the U.S.).
29D: 29.97 frames per second drop format. This is used for NTSC format color video (used in Japan and the U.S.).
25 frame per second frame rate. This is used for SECAM or PAL format video, audio equipment, and film (used in Europe and
25:
elsewhere).
24: 24 frame per second frame rate. This is used for video, audio devices, and film in the US.
Non-Drop Format and Drop Format
There are two types of format used by NTSC video cassette recorders, non-drop and drop. Non-drop format features continuous time code,
whereas in drop format, which is used for NTSC color video format, the first two frames of every minute are dropped, except for those at ten-
minute intervals. In most video and audio production, since formats with continuous frames are easier to deal with, non-drop is generally
used. In contrast, in situations such as in broadcast, where the time code must match actual clock time, drop is used.

Explanation
Synchronization message that the JUNO-G's song recorder will use for operation
MASTER: The JUNO-G will be the master. Choose this setting when using the JUNO-G by itself without synchronizing to
another device, or when you want other MIDI devices to synchronize to the JUNO-G.
SLAVE-MIDI: The JUNO-G will be the slave. Choose this setting when you want the JUNO-G to synchronize to MIDI Clock
messages received from another MIDI device.
SLAVE-MTC: The JUNO-G will be the slave. Choose this setting when you want the JUNO-G to synchronize to MTC (MIDI
Time Code) received from an external device.
REMOTE: Use this setting when you wish an external MIDI device to have remote start/stop control. The tempo will be
in accord with what has been set on the JUNO-G.
Set this parameter "ON" when you want synchronization related MIDI messages (MIDI Clock, Start, Continue, Stop, Song
Position Pointer and Song Select) to be transmitted to an external MIDI device. If not, set it "OFF."
Specifies whether the arpeggio or rhythm pattern will start/stop in synchronization with the song recorder.
OFF: Start/stop will not synchronize to the song recorder.
ON: While the song recorder is running, the arpeggio or rhythm pattern will start at the beginning of the next measure.
When you stop the song recorder, the arpeggio or rhythm pattern will also stop.
Specifies whether the song recorder tempo will change (ON), or will not change (OFF) when you switch performance.
