Action
Since the JUNO-Gi's internal effects are stereo, applying an insert effect will allow
effect sound to be heard from the opposite side even if the source sound is panned all
the way to one side.
This is usually because you have exceeded the highest note that the JUNO-Gi is able
to produce, and won't occur with the notes you would normally use. This does not
indicate a malfunction.
If "USB Song Sync Mode" is set to "SLAVE, " the JUNO-Gi must be receiving MIDI clock
from an external device.
Set "USB Song Sync Mode" to "MASTER" unless you're synchronizing the JUNO-Gi with
an external device.
Check the on/off setting of each effect (p. 44).
With the factory settings, the Output Assign of some are not set to "MFX. " Set the
Output Assign to "MFX. "
The effect won't be obtained if the send level to that effect is set at 0. Even if the send
levels to the effect is set above 0, the effect won't be applied if the multi-effect output
level, chorus level, or reverb level are set to 0. Check each of these settings.
Since the delay time has an upper limit, specifying the delay time as a note value and
then slowing down the tempo may reach this upper limit. The maximum delay time is
the highest value that can be specified numerically (i.e., other than in terms of a note
value).
Format the USB memory on the JUNO-Gi (p. 79).
Songs placed within a folder will not be displayed on the JUNO-Gi.
Use an audio file of the types listed in "Song files that can be played" (p. 128).
Check the audio file.
