Troubleshooting
Issues Related to MIDI and
External Devices
No Sound from connected MIDI device.
Check the following points.
• Is the instrument set to transmit MIDI messages?
• In Patch Mode
Kbd Patch Rx/Tx Channel parameter (p. 160)
• In Performance Mode
KBD switch (p. 60).
Exclusive messages are not received.
Check the following points.
• Is the instrument set to receive Exclusive messages?
Set the Receive Exclusive parameter to "ON" (p. 161).
• Does the Device ID number of the transmitting device match
the Device ID number of the JUNO-G?
Check the Device ID parameter (p. 160).
I connected an external sequencer or MIDI keyboard to the
MIDI IN connector, and attempted to play a JUNO-G rhythm
set, but there was no sound. Why?
Check to make sure that the MIDI Transmit channel of the
external MIDI device and the JUNO-G's MIDI Receive channel
are matched. The MIDI Receive channel used by the JUNO-G in
Patch mode is set with the Kbd Patch RX/TX Channel
parameter. Rhythm Set performance data is generally received
on MIDI Channel 10.
Messages from MIDI IN are not being received.
Additionally, the MIDI IN connector cannot be used if USB
Mode (p. 167) is set to MIDI. Set the USB mode to Storage.
When using sequencing software, operating the knobs or other
controls does not affect the sound.
For some sequencing programs, System Exclusive messages are
not transmitted by the Thru function. If you are using such
sequencer software and want to record system exclusive
messages, turn on the following parameters.
• In Patch Mode
Local Switch parameter (p. 160).
• In Performance Mode
KBD switch (p. 60).
When the Bend Range for a Patch is increased (48), the pitch
does not rise sufficiently, even when a MIDI Pitch Bend
message is received.
While Patch Bend Ranges can be set anywhere between 0 and
48, when certain Waves in which the pitch is raised (in the +
direction) are used, the pitch may stop rising at a fixed point,
rather than continuing to go up. Although a value of 12 is
184
ensured for the upper limit of raised pitches, use caution when
setting the Bend Range above this figure.
Issues Related to Audio Recording
External input sound cannot be heard/volume is too low.
Check the following points.
• Could the level of the external input source be too low?
Could the top panel AUDIO IN slider be turned down?
Could the rear panel AUDIO INPUT LEVEL knob be turned
down?
• The volume of the device connected to AUDIO INPUT may be
lowered.
Adjust it to an appropriate level.
• Are the audio cables connected correctly?
Check the connections.
• An audio cable may be broken.
• Could you be using an audio cable with a built-in resistor?
Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor (e.g.,
Roland PCS series).
External input sound is not stereo/is not monaural.
Check the following points.
• In the INPUT SETTING screen that appears when you hold
down [SHIFT] and operate the AUDIO IN slider, could Input
Select be set to "LINE IN L" or "MICROPHONE"?
Set "Input Select" to "LINE IN L/R" (p. 104).
Mic sound is not output/is too weak.
Check the following points.
• Is the mic cable connected correctly?
Check the connection.
• The mic cable may be broken.
• The input source may be set to something other than mic.
In the INPUT SETTING screen that appears when you hold
down [SHIFT] and operate the AUDIO IN slider, set Input
Select to "MICROPHONE" (p. 104).
• The mic level may have been lowered.
Could the top panel AUDIO IN slider be turned down?
Could the rear panel AUDIO INPUT LEVEL knob be turned
down?
Can't record a sample.
Check the following points.
• Is there enough memory capacity?
If there is insufficient sample memory, a message of "Sample
Memory Full!" will appear when you attempt to sample (p. 118).
Erase unneeded samples to increase the amount of free space.
If there is still not enough, install additional memory (DIMM
modules). (p. 176)
