Record the rhythm on a MIDI
track
When you've selected a rhythm, you can record it on a MIDI track.
Once again, press the button for the selected pattern to stop the
playback. Then press the [REC] button, and the JUNO-G will stand
by to record the pattern on a MIDI track.
Press this button to stop
the pattern you selected;
then press the [REC]
button.
For this example, let's turn Count In "OFF." (With the default set-
ting, there would be a one-measure count-in, meaning that the
pattern would be recorded from the second measure.)
In this state, you can press the [PLAY] button
to start recording. After you've recorded as
many measures as you want (i.e., the length
of your song), press the [STOP] button to
stop recording.

After you've recorded the rhythm in a MIDI track, there might be times when you decide that it would be nice to have a fi ll here, or a
break there. No problem! Just use the edit function to modify the MIDI track. One of the great things about MIDI tracks is that after
you're fi nished recording the rhythm track, you can freely edit each individual note with incredible detail to create absolutely any
rhythm you can imagine.

For more details, refer to "Editing a Song (MIDI Track)" (p. 94) in the owner's manual.
Press the [Down cursor] button
to move the cursor to Count In.
Turn the dial toward the left
to set Count IN "OFF."

You can switch between the six pattern variations while you record on the MIDI track.
ress the [PLAY] button to start recording the rhythm pattern, and
hen press the [CLOSE] button to return to the rhythm pattern
creen; now you can switch between the six pattern variations. The
patterns will be recorded on the MIDI track exactly as you switch
between them. If you use this cleverly, you can create a very cool
hythm track that's shifting dynamically, and doesn't sound simply
like patterns strung together.

Listen to what you recorded
Let's take a look at what you just recorded in the MIDI track. Press
the [SONG] button, and the MIDI TRACK screen will appear. In
this screen, press the [Down cursor] button to move the cursor
to "10," and you'll see the rhythm you just recorded. The JUNO-G
always records the rhythm on track 10.
The MIDI TRACK screen is an excellent way to view your song as
a whole; for example, you might notice that "this section looks
'busier' , so it's probably right before the break. "
This shows an overview of the recorded
performance.
Now let's play back the rhythm that was
recorded in the MIDI track. Hold down
the [STOP] button and press the [BWD]
button; the playback position will return
to the beginning of the MIDI track.
Then press the [PLAY] button to play
back from the beginning.
Return to the
Rhythm Pattern
screen.
