Patch m o d e i s g r e at f o r l i ve p e r f o r m a n ce !
If you're playing live, you'll be using the JUNO-G as a simple "keyboard. " In such cases, it's convenient to use
"Patch mode. " In Patch mode, the name of the sound you're playing is shown in big letters in the screen, so
it's easy to read even when you're on stage.
☞
For more about Patch mode, refer to "Playing in Patch Mode" (p. 25) in the owner's manual.
In Patch mode
you use the
JUNO-G as one
single keyboard.

Select Performance mode so you can
use multiple instruments
When you're creating a song on the JUNO-G, you'll want multiple
instruments such as piano, bass, and drums etc. to be playing to-
gether. "Performance mode" lets the JUNO-G's synthesizer operate
in this way. In Performance mode you can produce an ensemble
consisting of as many as 16 diff erent instruments.
Press the [PERFORM] button to access the basic screen of Perfor-
mance mode.
From this screen, we'll select a performance called "PRST (preset)"
– "002 Seq: Template."
Use the [Up cursor] button to move
the cursor.
Turn the dial to make this read
"PRST."
Use the [Down cursor] button to
move the cursor.
Turn the dial to select "002."
"Seq: Template" sets each instrument to the same volume, and
also initializes the eff ect settings. It's an ideal group of settings for
starting out to create a song.
In Performance mode, up to 16
instruments can play simultane-
ously.
