Effects

Effects let you apply a variety of special effects to patches or rhythm sets. You can use three effects simultaneously: chorus (which adds depth and spaciousness), reverb (which adds reverberation), multi-effects (each selectable from 47 types such as equalizer, overdrive, and delay).

Number of voices

Maximum polyphony

The sound generator of the JUNO-D can produce up to 64 notes (voices) simultaneously. If data is received that attempts to play more than this number of voices, notes will be dropped out. When the number of requested voices exceeds 64, the JUNO-D will give priority to the later-played notes, and will consecutively turn off the sounding notes. An appropriate Voice Reserve setting should be made with respect to any Parts that you cannot do without (p. 56).

Some Tones use more than two voices to create a single Tone. For the number of voices used by each Tone, refer to “Original tone list” (p. 109).

About memory

Patch and performance settings are stored in what is referred to as memory. There are three kinds of memory: temporary, rewritable, and non-rewritable.

Temporary Area

 

All data stored in the user area can be stored on an external sequencer (p. 98). If you load the saved data back into the JUNO- D, all settings of the entire JUNO-D will return to the state by they were in when the data was saved.

Overview of the JUNO-D

Temporary memory

 

Temporary area

 

This is the area that holds the data for the patch or the like that

 

you’ve selected using the panel buttons.

 

When you play the keyboard or play back an external sequence,

 

sound is produced based on data in the temporary area. When you

 

 

edit a patch, you do not directly modify the data in memory; rather,

 

you call up the data into the temporary area, and edit it there.

Overview

Settings in the temporary area are temporary, and will be lost when

 

the power is turned off or when you select another setting. To keep

 

the settings you have modified, you must write them into rewritable

 

memory.

 

 

 

Rewritable memory

 

System memory

 

System memory stores system parameter settings that determine

 

how the JUNO-D functions.

 

User memory

 

User memory is where you normally store the data you need. USER

 

memory contains 128 patches, 2 rhythm sets, 8 performances.

 

Non-rewritable memory

 

Preset memory

 

Data in Preset memory cannot be rewritten. However, you can call

 

up settings from preset memory into the temporary area, modify

 

them and then store the modified data in rewritable memory.
