The scenes contain tones and drum kits assigned to eight parts. You can play up to eight tones at the same time.

You can also save the states below in the settings for the scenes.

SINGLE Plays only one tone.

SPLIT Uses dierent tones for the left and right hands.

DUAL Layers two dierent tones.

SUPER LAYER Layers a single tone on itself for a fatter sound.

DRUMS Uses only the drum kits.

The tones for parts 1 and 2 are used when the instrument is in split or dual mode.

Tones

These are sounds used for playing. Each tone consists of up to four partials, and you can combine the partials to create a wide variety of sounds.

A tone consists of the combination of sound generator and eects.

Drum kit

The drum kit is a collection of percussion instruments and sound eects. Each key (note number) plays a dierent percussion instrument or sound eect.

Page 10

Overview

Components of the sounds

TONE

A “tone” is the smallest unit of sound on this instrument.

A tone consists of the combination of sound generator and eects. The tones of the ZEN-Core sound generator that’s built into the JUNO-D consist of ZEN-Core tones and drum kit tones.

PRESET TONE USER TONE

Sound Generator Sound Generator

MFX MFXEQ EQ

You can edit a tone and then save it as a user memory.

What is the ZEN-Core sound engine?

The ZEN-Core sound engine is a synthesizer sound generator based on the VA technology that’s used with the V-Synth, and developed using our latest sound generation technology. This sound engine features an analog-like responsiveness and high resolution, letting you create a wide range of high-quality sounds. ZEN-Core also features an integrated PCM sound engine that’s been rened by Roland over the course of many years, so you can design even more advanced sounds.

PART

This is a container for playing a tone.

You can assign a tone to each part and play it. For each part, you can specify whether it is connected to the keyboard, and make settings such as its key range, volume, pan, and controller reception.

There are 8 parts; by combining parts you can create sounds that consist of multiple tones, or create foundational performance (sound) settings for each song. The drum kit is assigned to part 8 (part R).

You can also use specic parts to control an external sound module (EXTERNAL) instead of the internal sound engine.

SCENE

A scene stores the entire state of your favorite performance settings, including settings for each part (such as tone, MFX and volume), settings common to all parts (such as IFX, chorus/delay and reverb), and sequence data for each part.

You can store an idea for a song or phrase as a scene, and manage scenes by switching them for each song.

You can freely recall saved scenes in the top screen that appears after startup (p. 44).

What are ZEN-Core tones?

These are tones that generate single instrument sounds like piano, organ, synth and so on. Each tone combines four partials (PCM waves or VA oscillators) to create a single musical instrument sound. A tone consists of a ZEN-Core sound engine and eects (MFX+EQ).

What is a drum kit tone?

A drum kit tone consists of multiple percussion sounds (instruments). In a drum kit, dierent percussion instrument sounds are heard depending on the key (note number) that you play. Each drum kit combines a ZEN-Core sound engine with eects (MFX+EQ+COMP).

* There are six compressors for use with the drum kit, which

are enabled only for the part set as part 8 (part R).

Eects

This instrument features a variety of eects.

For eect parameters, refer to the “Parameter Guide” (Roland website).

Overview

Tone eects

These eects are congured per tone. COMP can be used for the drum kit instruments.

Part eects

These eects are congured per part.

Scene eects

These eects are congured per scene.

The JUNO-D includes the following built-in eects, and each can be congured independently.

Multi-eect (MFX)

System eects

These eects apply to the system overall.

MIC eects

These eects are applied to the input sound from the MIC INPUT jack.

(*1): For the MFX, you can store the tone eect and part eect separately,

and switch between settings you want to use.

(*2): Chorus/delay and reverb are stored separately for the scene eect

and for the system eects, and you can switch between settings you want to use.

This is an all-purpose multi-eect that transforms the sound into a completely dierent type of sound.

There are 93 kinds of multi-eects, so you can select and use the ones that meet your needs.

Aside from straightforward eects like distortion, anger and so forth, there are a variety of eect types. There is one multi-eect setting for each tone.

Overview

Memories

The locations where scenes, tones and other settings are stored are called “memories”.

Functionally speaking, there are three types of memory: temporary memory, writable memory (user memory, system memory and USB ash drive), and read-only memory (preset memory).

IMPORT folder

WAV les

Temporary memory

Temporary area

The scene, tone, and sequence data selected by the buttons on the panel and so forth are temporarily stored here.

When you’re playing, the sound plays according to the settings in the temporary area. Also, when you edit scene, tone, or sequence data, this does not directly change the data in memory, but rather loads it into the temporary area to be changed.

The settings in this area are temporary, and are lost when the power is turned o or other settings are recalled. If you want to keep the settings in the temporary area, save them to a user memory or to a USB ash drive.

Writable memory

System memory

The overall system settings of the JUNO-D are stored here. To store the system parameters, you must save the system settings (p. 30).

User memory

This is the memory that’s used to store data internally on this unit. Use the save (write) operation to store data to this area.

¹ Save a scene (p. 29) ¹ Save a tone (p. 30) ¹ Save a drum kit (p. 30)

Wave Expansion memory

This memory area is used to store the Wave Expansion data.

USB ash drive

¹ You can back up the user memory data

and system parameter settings together here (p. 45).

¹ You can also import SVZ/EXZ and WAV

les to the JUNO-D, and export this data from the JUNO-D (p. 46).

Read-only memory

Preset memory

The data in the preset memory cannot be overwritten.

However, you can edit the settings that you recalled to the temporary area. These settings can then be saved to user memory.

Playing back the rhythm patterns

A rhythm pattern is a phrase that’s played with rhythm instruments such as drums or percussion. With this instrument, you can play the keyboard along with the rhythm patterns that are assigned to pads [1]–[8].

Each rhythm pattern has eight variations, and these eight variations make up a single “rhythm pattern group”.

When you select a rhythm pattern group, the variations are automatically assigned to pads [1]–[8].

Also, the drum tone that plays in a rhythm pattern is called a “drum kit”.

The drum kit selected in part R of the current scene is used for the rhythm pattern.

Troubleshooting

If this instrument is not working as expected, rst check the following points. If you’ve checked these points and still can’t nd the cause, contact Roland Support or the dealer where you purchased your instrument.

Problem Items to check/Action Page

Power does not turn on Check that the AC adaptor is properly connected to a power outlet and to this instrument.

The [MASTER VOLUME] knob might have been turned down.

Is this instrument properly connected to other devices? –

Is the power of the connected amplied speaker(s) turned on? –

The volume on the connected devices might have been turned down. –

If you don’t hear sound from the connected amplied speakers or mixer, try connecting headphones to this instrument and checking the sound. If you hear sound through the headphones, there may be a short in the cable connected to the amplied speaker, or the amp or mixer may be malfunctioning. Check the connecting cables and devices again.

The level of the sound (tone) may be too low. Check the level setting.

No sound

The partial of the tone might be turned o. Turn the partial switch on.

The part might be muted. Turn the mute switch o. –

Check the eect on/o settings. –

The keyboard switch might be turned o. Turn the keyboard switch on. p. 22

If you play a key but don’t hear a sound, the local switch may be turned o.

Set “Local Switch” to “ON” (MENU > SYSTEM EDIT > COMMON screen in the COMMON tab page).

You might have turned the volume down by operating the pedal, or the volume may have been lowered if the instrument received a MIDI message (a volume or expression message) from your computer.

Can’t hear certain parts

SOUND MODIFY knobs have no eect on certain tones

Sounds in the high frequency range of acoustic piano tones change suddenly

The note you play keeps playing after you play and release the key

No sound from mic

The [UPPER] slider (part 1) and [LOWER] slider (part 2) might have been lowered.

The part volume might have been lowered. Check the part levels.

On acoustic piano tones, the CUTOFF and RESONANCE of SOUND MODIFY knobs have no eect. This is by design, and is not a malfunction.

On acoustic piano tones, the higher notes of the piano (from the highest key down around 1½ octaves) fully sustain after you play them, even if the damper pedal is not pressed. Also, the sound changes where there is a change in the number of strings per key, or if there is a transition from wound strings to unwound strings. This is because the acoustic piano tones faithfully reproduce the characteristics of an acoustic piano, and is not a malfunction.

If you’ve connected a pedal, the pedal polarity might be reversed.

Check the “Control Pedal Polarity” and “Hold Pedal Polarity” settings in the PEDAL tab page, MENU > SYSTEM EDIT > COMMON screen.

Check the levels of the MIC [GAIN] knob on the rear panel and the [MIC] slider on the top panel. –

The “Mic Input Level” might have been set to “0”.

Check the “Mic Input Level” setting in the MIC INPUT tab page, MENU > SYSTEM EDIT > EFFECTS screen.

A condenser mic might be connected.

Condenser microphones cannot be used with the JUNO-D.
