If you want the power to remain on constantly, set the system setting "Auto Power Off"
(p. 80) to "OFF. "
If you want the backlight to remain on constantly, set the system setting "Power Save
Mode" (p. 80) to "OFF. "
Do not use any AC adaptor or power cord other than the supplied items.
Doing so will cause malfunctions.
Check the remaining battery power (p. 14).
Open the battery case and make sure that the batteries are installed in the correct
polarity.
Turn on the power of the connected amp or speakers.
Adjust the volume of the connected equipment.
Adjust the [VOLUME] knob.
Correctly connect your amp, speakers, and headphones (p. 12).
If you hear sound through your headphones, it may be that there is a broken con-
nection cable, or that your amp or mixer have malfunctioned. Check your connection
cables and equipment once again.
Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.
Turn the Local Switch setting on (p. 82).
Check the Layer level settings (p. 36).
Check the effect on/off settings (p. 44). Also check settings such as the effect levels.
Step on the pedal, move your hand above the D Beam controller, and check settings of
the other controllers.
If the [KEYBOARD] button is on, you won't hear any synthesizer sound if the recorder's
[MASTER] slider is at the lowest position (MASTER LEVEL at 0). Turn the [KEYBOARD]
button off.
Check the Layer level settings (p. 36).
Turn on the Layer Switch (p. 36).
If there's no sound from a specific range of keys, check the key range settings of the
Layers in the Live Set (p. 36).
If the sound of a specific Live Set or Layer is distorted, lower the volume of that Live
Set or Layer.
If the overall sound is distorted, lower the [VOLUME] knob.
Check the system setting "SOUND" (p. 80).
Check the system setting "Master Tune" (p. 80).
Check the pedal and the pitch bender.
Check the settings of the Coarse and Fine parameters.
Reduce the number of Tones you're using. Increase the voice reserve setting for layers
on which you don't want to allow broken-off notes.
Check the system setting "Hold Pedal Polarity" (p. 81).
The JUNO-Gi provides multi-effects that let you apply a wide variety of different ef-
fects, and when you switch live sets, the multi-effect type used by the live set will also
be switched. The mismatch between the currently heard notes and the multi-effect
type would cause unwanted sound to occur when this change happens, and this is
why the notes are turned off when you switch live sets.
