Controlling Your Performance

D Beam Controller

The D Beam controller can be used simply
by waving your hand over it. It can be used
to apply various effects, depending on
the function that is assigned to it. On the
JUNO-Gi, the D Beam controller can be used
not only to modify the sounds, but also to
control the pitch of a monophonic (solo)
synthesizer sound.
1. Press either the D BEAM [SOLO
SYNTH], [EXPRESSION], [ASSIGNABLE]
button to turn on the D Beam
controller.

pressed in step 1; it will go out.

The following diagram shows the usable range of
the D Beam controller. Waving your hand outside
this range will produce no effect.
NOTE
The usable range of the D Beam controller
will become extremely small when used
under strong direct sunlight. If it does not
function as you expect, adjust the sensitivity as
appropriate for the brightness of your location.
