The JUNO-Di's Sounds
The JUNO-Di contains a lot of sounds, configured in different ways so that
you can always have just what you need at hand onstage.
Patches and Rhythm Sets
At the heart of all of the configurations are two types of basic sounds:
•
patches— that play a single sound up and down the entire keyboard.
(The JUNO-Di Owner's Manual calls patches "tones. " ) There are 1,338
factory Preset patches, including 256 GM2 patches). You can also save
up to 128 of your own patches.
•
rhythm sets— which have a different drum or percussion sound on every
key. There are 29 Preset rhythm sets onboard (including nine GM2 kits),
and you can save another eight of your own.
"GM2" is short for General MIDI 2. To learn more about General MIDI,
you can download Roland's An Introduction to MIDI InFocus booklet
from here.

Performances
When you combine sounds in the JUNO-Di, you do so in a "performance. "
A performance can have up to 16 sounds at a time, playing on top of each
other, in different areas of the keyboard, or both. Each sound is played by a
"part, " which has its own settings that determine how its sound plays.
The JUNO-Di contains 64 factory Preset performances, and you can save
another 64 performances of your own.
