Roland JUNO-D owner manual Using a lever to modify the sound

Applying various effects to the sound

■Changing the brightness of the sound and adding

special qualities (CUTOFF/RESONANCE)

The sound generator section of the JUNO-D contains a filter that can cut or boost specific frequency regions of the sound. [CUTOFF] specifies the frequency (cutoff frequency) at which the filter will begin to modify the sound, and [RESONANCE] boosts the region near the cutoff frequency to add a distinctive character to the sound.

1.Turn the [CUTOFF] knob.

Turning this to the right (clockwise) brightens the sound, while turning it to the left (counterclockwise) makes the sound seem darker.

2.Turn the [RESONANCE] knob.

Turning this to the right makes the sound more distinctive, while turning it to the left reduces these characteristics.

Pitch Bend

Independently for each patch, you can specify

whether the effect is to be

applied to the upper or the

lower tone (p. 46).

You can set up to a two-octave pitch bend range, adjustable in semitones. For further information, refer to Pitch Bend Range (p. 47).

■Adding a vibrato effect to the sound (Modulation Lever)

While playing the keyboard, move the lever away from you to add a vibrato effect.
