About the Digital Recorder

The JUNO-Gi's digital recorder lets you record the JUNO-Gi's
performance and the sound of a connected guitar or microphone on
separate tracks. You can also save your completed song as an audio file
on an SD card, and then use your computer to create a CD from it or
distribute it via the Internet.

Tracks and V-tracks

The digital recorder provides eight tracks. Each track consists of eight
virtual tracks (V-tracks), and you can select one of these V-tracks for
playback and recording. In other words, you can use 8 x 8 = 64 tracks
to record your performance, and choose eight of these for playback.

Rhythm Pattern

like a rhythm machine.
In addition to playing a single rhythm pattern as a guide while you
record, you can also arrange different rhythm patterns as suitable for
the structure of your song.

Insert Effects

The digital recorder provides effects (i.e., separately from the
synthesizer's effects) that are powerful enough to rival a standalone
effects processor, and you can apply these effects to your guitar or
other source while you record.
What is an Effect Patch?
The insert effects provide numerous effects, such as amp modeling
and overdrive. An "Effect Patch" is a combination of these effects
together with their settings.

About the Recorder Tempo

The JUNO-Gi uses two types of tempo: the "keyboard tempo" and the
"recorder tempo. " The keyboard tempo is used for the synthesizer's
arpeggio playback etc , and the recorder tempo is the tempo of the
digital recorder (p. 32).
