Selecting Tones (Layer/Split); Selecting Tones Or Rhythm Sets - Roland JUNO-Gi Owner's Manual

Selecting Tones (LAYER/SPLIT)

Each Live Set has four "Layers" (Upper 1, 2, Lower 1, 2), and a "Tone"
is assigned to each of these Layers. A tone is the lowest-level unit of
sound; you can't play a tone by itself.

RHYTHM

Tones and rhythm sets have the following groups.
Tone Group
PRESET These are the tones unique to the JUNO-Gi.
These are tones compatible with the GM2
specification which was created as a common
GM (GM2)
standard for MIDI devices across manufacturers
and models.
It's not possible to edit or rewrite tones themselves on the JUNO-Gi.
However, you can select the tones that will be played by a live set, and
make relative adjustments (offsets) to the values of each tone. You can
save the edited result in a user live set.
