Overview

How the Device Is Organized

Controller section
The performance information generated when you press/release a key or press a hold pedal are transmitted to the sound generator section.
This section consists of a keyboard, pitch bend/modulation lever, the panel buttons and knobs, and pedals connected to the rear panel.

Sound Generator section
This section receives performance information sent from the controller section, and sounds a patch or performance accordingly.

Effects

MFX (Multi effects)	Provides 80 types of effect, such as distortion and flanger.
Chorus/Reverb	A chorus/reverb unit that can be used independently of the chorus/reverb effects of the MFX unit. Chorus can also be used as a delay.

* MFX and chorus/reverb can have different settings for each patch and performance.

Phrase Pad
These play the phrases that are assigned to pads [1]–[8].

Rhythm Pattern	The pads play dedicated rhythm patterns.
Pattern Sequencer	The pads record patterns of several measures, and play them back while you perform.
Audio Player	The pads play audio files from a USB flash drive.

Patch
A patch is a sound that you can perform. Each patch consists of up to four "tones, " and you can create a wide variety of sounds by combining tones.

Drum Kit
A drum kit is a collection of percussion instrument sounds or sound effects. Each different key (note number) plays a different percussion instrument or sound effect.

Sample
These are sounds created by Sample Import

Performance
A performance lets you assign a different patch, drum kit, or sample to each of 16 parts, allowing you to use 16 different sounds simultaneously.
The following settings are also saved as performance settings.

SPLIT	Use different sounds for the right and left hands
DUAL	Layer two sounds
SUPER LAYER	Layer a single sound to create a richer feeling

When you select Split or Dual, the patches of part 1 and part 2 are used.

"Patch mode" is when you select and play a single patch (or drum kit or sample).
"Performance mode" is when you select and play a performance.
When using SPLIT/DUAL/SUPER LAYER, you'll always be in Performance mode (the [PATCH/PERFORM] button is lit).

Troubleshooting

If the JUNO-DS does not function in the way you expect, first check the following points. If this does not resolve the problem, consult your dealer or a nearby Roland service center.

Problem	Cause/Action
The power does not turn on	Make sure that the JUNO-DS's AC adaptor is correctly connected to an AC outlet and to the rear panel power connector, and that the adaptor itself and AC power cord are connected correctly.
	If you connect the AC adaptor and turn on the power when batteries are installed, the AC adaptor will be used preferentially. Even if batteries are installed, the power will not turn on unless the AC adaptor is connected to an AC outlet. If you're using batteries, disconnect the AC adaptor from the JUNO-DS. If batteries are installed, connecting or disconnecting the power cord from the outlet or connecting or disconnecting the DC plug of the AC adaptor while the JUNO-DS is turned on will cause the power to turn off.
There is no sound	Is the power for connected amps and speakers turned on?
	Could you have lowered the volume of your connected equipment?
	Is the [MASTER VOLUME] knob turned all the way down?
	Have connections been made correctly?
	Can you hear sound through headphones? If there is sound in the headphones, it is possible that the connection cables are broken, or that your amp/mixer has malfunctioned. Check your cables and amp/ mixer system once again.
	If you do not hear sound when you play the keyboard, check whether the Local Switch is turned OFF. Make sure that the Local Switch setting is turned on.
	Could the level of the tone (patch) be too low? Check the level setting.
	Could the level setting be too low? In the "SOUND" system settings, check the "Master Level" setting.
	Could the keyboard switch be off? Turn the keyboard switch on. For details, refer to "Parameter Guide (English)" (PDF).
	Could a part be muted? Turn mute off. For details, refer to "Parameter Guide (English)" (PDF).
	Are the Effect settings correct? Check the Effect settings ON or OFF.
	Could the volume have been lowered by a MIDI message (volume message or expression message) received from the computer or by operating the pedal?
	Could the patch's tones be turned off? Turn the Tone Switch "ON. " For details, refer to "Parameter Guide (English)" (PDF).
A specific Part does not sound	Has the volume level of the part been lowered? Check the level of each part.
	Could the [LEVEL] sliders be lowered?
When I play the keyboard, notes do not stop	Is the pedal polarity reversed? In the "PEDAL" system settings, check the "Control Pedal Polarity" or "Hold Pedal Polarity" setting.
Microphone sound is not output	Check the MIC [LEVEL] knob of the rear panel and [MIC IN] LEVEL slider.
	Could the Mic In level be 0? In the "MIC IN SETTINGS" system settings, check the "Mic In Level" setting.
	Could you be using a condenser microphone? The JUNO-DS does not support condenser microphones.

Error Messages

If an incorrect operation is performed, or if processing could not be performed as you specified, an error message appears.
Refer to the explanation for the error message that appears, and take the appropriate action.

Message	Meaning	Action
Battery Low!	The battery has run down.	Replace the batteries, or use an AC adaptor.
Incorrect File!	This is a file that the JUNO-DS is unable to play/import.	Do not use this file.
MIDI Buffer Full!	An unusually large amount of MIDI data was received, and could not be processed.	Reduce the amount of MIDI messages that are being transmitted.
MIDI Offline!	The MIDI IN connection was broken.	Check that there is no problem with the MIDI cable connected to the JUNO-DS's MIDI IN, and that the MIDI cable was not disconnected.
No More Favorites!	No more favorites have been registered.	Check the currently selected favorite number and the direction ("FAV-UP" or "FAV-DOWN") that's assigned to the pedal.
Not Found!	The file was not found on the USB flash drive.	Make sure that the file exists on the USB flash drive.
Now Playing!	Since the JUNO-DS is playing, this operation cannot be executed.	Stop playback before you execute the operation.
Now Recording!	Since the JUNO-DS is recording, this operation cannot be executed.	Stop recording before you execute the operation.
Pattern Full!	The maximum number of notes that can be recorded in one pattern has been exceeded; the pattern cannot be recorded any further.	Delete unneeded data from the pattern that you're recording.
	This indication may appear if a large amount of data, such as movements of the Control knobs, is being recorded. No further pattern recording is possible.
Read Error!	Failed to load data from USB flash drive.	Make sure that USB flash drive is correctly connected.
	It may be that the file is damaged.	Do not use this file.
	This file cannot be loaded since its format is incorrect.
Rec Overflow!	Since a large amount of recorded data was input all at once, it could not be processed correctly.	Reduce the amount of recorded data.
Sys Mem Damaged!	It is possible that the contents of system memory have been damaged.	Please execute a Factory Reset. If this does not resolve the problem, contact your dealer or a nearby Roland service center.
USB Mem NotReady!	USB flash drive is not connected.	Connect USB flash drive.
Memory Full!	Import is not possible because user memory is full.	Delete unneeded samples (patches).
Write Error!	Failed to write data to USB flash drive.	Make sure that USB flash drive is correctly connected.
	Data cannot be written because the USB flash drive has no more free space.	Delete unneeded files from the USB flash drive. Alternatively, use a different USB flash drive device, one that has more free space available.
	The file or the USB flash drive itself is write protected.	Make sure that the file or the USB flash drive is not write protected.

Attaching the Ferrite Core

76-key model only

1. Attach the ferrite core to the USB cable.
   
2. Press the halves together until they click shut.
   
   * Be careful not to pinch your fingers when attaching the ferrite core.
   * Do not damage the cable by pinching it excessively with the ferrite core.
