Basic operation of the JUNO-D

Switching the mode

The JUNO-D has numerous functions, and these functions are organized into the following two modes. The operation of the sound generator and the screens that appear in the display will differ depending on the mode.

Patch mode

You will use this mode when you want to play the keyboard in a band or a solo performance.

When you turn on the power, the JUNO-D will start up in Patch mode. From other modes, you can press [PATCH] to enter this mode.

All of the three built-in effects processors are used only for the patch you are playing.

In Patch mode you can select and edit patches, and create user patches.

Performance mode

In this mode, you can simultaneously play different sounds on sixteen parts. After turning on the power, press [PERFORM] to select this mode. The three built-in effects processors are used in common by the patches of each part.

You can create up to 8 user performances.

Editing parameters

On the JUNO-D, the numerous parameters are organized into pages so that they can be displayed efficiently within the display. To select a parameter, move to the appropriate page. The underlined area (cursor) in the screen will blink to indicate that you may edit that value.

Basic procedure

The basic procedure for editing a parameter is to use PAGE/ CURSOR [ ]/[ ] to move between pages, and use VALUE [-]/ [+] to modify the value in the page.

In cases where there are numerous pages, pages of related content are organized into groups. When editing such parameters, you can hold down [SHIFT] and use PAGE/CURSOR [ ]/[ ] to jump to the previous or next group.

When using PAGE/CURSOR [ ]/[ ] or VALUE [-]/[+], you can make the value change more rapidly by holding down one button while you press the other button. Or, if you hold down [SHIFT] while using these buttons, the value will change in larger steps, or you can move between sound category groups (p. 55).

PAGE/CURSOR [ ]/[ ] will move you more rapidly between pages if you continue holding them down. In some cases, you will automatically stop at the beginning of the group.

Executing a command

If [ENT] is indicated in the upper right of the display, you can execute the command you have selected by pressing [ENTER].
