Q
When I play the keyboard, notes do not stop.
A
Is the pedal polarity of the Hold Pedal reversed?
Check the Hold Pedal Polarity parameter setting (p. 147).
Q
The sound cuts off when I switch Patches in Patch mode.
A
Although you can apply a wide variety of multi-effects with the
JUNO-STAGE's multi-effects, switching the Patch also switches the
type of multi-effects used.
In such instances, discrepancies between the sound being
produced and the multi-effects type can arise, which may result in
sounds being different than intended, so sounds produced when
Patches are switched may be muted when factory settings are in
effect. In certain situations, such as when not using multi-effects
that have a great influence on the sound, remembering to set
Patch Remain parameter (p. 146) to "ON" allows you to switch
Patches without sounds being muted.
Q
When switching Patches in Patch mode, the volume and
other parameters set with Control Changes end up being
reset.
A
Set Patch Remain parameter (p. 146) to "ON." Even once they
have switched Patches, Control Change messages that have
been received are carried forward, so even when switching a
Patch whose level is turned all the way down by a Control
Change volume message, the level remains unchanged.
Q
If the Tone Delay time value is set to the note, then does
the delay time not change beyond a fixed length when the
tempo is slowed down?
A
There is a maximum permissible value for the Tone Delay Time
parameter (p. 111). So, if the time setting is specified in terms of
a note value, and the tempo is slowed down, this maximum
permissible value will be reached, and it cannot be increased
further. The upper time limit for each is the maximum value that
can be set other than the numerical value for the beat.
Q
Even when I set the Pan for a Patch completely to one
side, sound still comes from the other channel.
A
The JUNO-STAGE's internal effects are in stereo, so if you have
effects applied to a Patch, even if the Pan is set all the way to one
side, you will still be able to hear sounds of the effect component
from the other channel.
Q
Sometimes, when playing legato, the pitch won't rise.
A
When the Legato Switch parameter (p. 101) is "ON," and the
Legato Retrigger parameter (p. 101) is "OFF," and you hold
down keys in the high register to play legato, the upper pitch
limit of the wave may be exceeded, so that the pitch does not rise
as far as you expect, but will stop rising at a certain point.
Additionally, if differing upper pitch limits are used for the waves
of a Patch that uses multiple tones, it may stop being heard in
MONO. When making large pitch changes, set the Legato
Retrigger parameter to "ON."
Q
The notes sound strange in the upper registers of the
keyboard.
A
Sometimes when playing the keys in the upper part of the JUNO-
STAGE's keyboard, the sound may stop, or the pitch may stop
rising; or with certain keys, there may be intermittent noise. This
occurs mainly when the JUNO-STAGE's upper pitch limit is
exceeded, so this issue doesn't arise in the ranges normally used.
But, in any case, it does not indicate a malfunction.
Q
Although the same Patch is selected, it sounds different
when I listen to it in the Performance.
A
In Performance mode, the parameters of each part of the
performance can apply further modification to parameters such
as pan, octave, and filter, relative to the settings specified by the
patch. Thus, Patches in a Performance may sound different than
they do when heard in Patch mode.
Additionally, although a Patch may comprise tones created with
the use of the multi-effects, the multi-effects used in the
Performance may differ from the multi-effects selected by the
Patch. Check the multi-effect settings of the performance. Also do
the same for the Chorus and Reverb settings.
Issues Related to Effects
Q
Effects not applied.
A
Check the following points.
• Could the effect switch be off?
In the EFFECT SWITCH window, check the on/off status of each
effect (p. 79).
• Are the various effect settings correct? (p. 80, p. 82)
• If the send level of each effect is set to 0, the effect will not be
applied. Check the settings.
• Even with send levels to each effect set at 0, effects are not
applied if the Multi-effects Output Level, the Chorus Level, or the
Reverb Level is set to 0. Check each setting.
Q
The Modulation or other controller is always on.
A
Check the Matrix Controller settings (p. 110).
The JUNO-STAGE allows you to use the Matrix Control to control
Patches in real time. The Matrix Control functions as the control
source for the Control Change and other MIDI messages received
by the JUNO-STAGE, and makes changes to the various Patch
parameters based on these messages.
Depending on these settings, the JUNO-STAGE may be
responding to MIDI messages sent from external MIDI devices,
and may result the Patches sounding different than intended.
