IMPORTANT NOTES

Power Supply: Use of Batteries

301

• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used
by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a
refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner),
or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the
electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit
to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to
use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter
between this unit and the electrical outlet.

302

• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of
consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.

303a

• The use of an AC adaptor is recommended as the unit’s power
consumption is relatively high. Should you prefer to use batteries,
please use the nickel-metal hydride type.

304a

• When installing or replacing batteries, always turn off the power on
this unit and disconnect any other devices you may have connected.
This way, you can prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or
other devices.

307

• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all
units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers
or other devices.

Add

• If you’re using batteries, disconnect the AC adaptor from this unit.

Add

• If batteries are installed, disconnecting or reconnecting the power
cord at the AC outlet or disconnecting the DC plug from the unit’s
rear panel while the power is on will cause the power to turn off. You
must turn off the power before you connect or disconnect the power
cord or AC adaptor.

Placement

351

• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment containing
large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the
problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away
from the source of interference.

352a

• This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not
use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.

352b

• Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as
cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could
occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should
you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless
devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch
them off.

354a

• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that
radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject
it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the
unit.

355b

• When moved from one location to another where the temperature
and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may
form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you
attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the
unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the
condensation has completely evaporated.

358

• Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard. This can be
the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to produce sound.

360

• Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on which
you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface.
You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to prevent
this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that the unit will
not slip or move accidentally.

Maintenance

401a

• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that
has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt,
use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent.
Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

402

• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid
the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Repairs and Data

452

• Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s memory may be
lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should always
be backed up on a USB memory, or written down on paper (when
possible). During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data.
However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related to memory
itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be possible to restore
the data, and Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss of
data.

Additional Precautions

551

• Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably lost
as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the unit. To
protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data, we
recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of important
data you have stored in the unit’s memory on a USB memory.

552

• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data
that was stored in the unit’s memory or on a USB memory once it has
been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such
loss of data.

553

• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons,
sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors.
Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

554

• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.

556

• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector
itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing
shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal elements.

558a

• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume at
reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not
need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is
late at night).

559a

• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including
padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use
equivalent packaging materials.

561

• Use only the specified expression pedal (EV-5; sold separately). By
connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing
malfunction and/or damage to the unit.

562

• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that
incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use of such
cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impossible
to hear. For information on cable specifications, contact the
manufacturer of the cable.

566a

• The usable range of D Beam controller will become extremely small
when used under strong direct sunlight. Please be aware of this
when using the D Beam controller outside.

566b

• The sensitivity of the D Beam controller will change depending on
the amount of light in the vicinity of the unit. If it does not function as
you expect, adjust the sensitivity as appropriate for the brightness of
your location.

Ground Terminal

Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may
experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the surface feels
granular when you touch this device, microphones connected to it, or the
metal portions of other objects, such as guitars. This is due to an
infinitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if
you are concerned about this, connect the ground terminal with an
external ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur,
depending on the particulars of your installation. If you are unsure of the
connection method, contact the nearest Roland Service Center.

Unsuitable places for connection

• Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)

• Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion)

• Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in the
event of lightning)

Types of batteries that can be used

● Using nickel-metal hydride batteries will allow
approximately five hours of continuous operation at room
temperature. (However, the duration will be approximately
four hours if USB memory is connected. The duration of
continuous operation may differ depending on the
conditions of use.)

Do not use alkaline batteries or zinc-carbon batteries.

Battery handling

● If you connect the AC adaptor and turn on the power when
batteries are installed, the AC adaptor will be used
preferentially.

● If you’re using batteries, disconnect the AC adaptor from this
unit.

● If batteries are installed, disconnecting or reconnecting the
power cord at the AC outlet or disconnecting the DC plug
from the JUNO-Di’s rear panel while the power is on will cause
the power to turn off. You must turn off the power before you
connect or disconnect the power cord or AC adaptor.

Connecting the AC Adaptor

Make sure that the [POWER] switch is off.

Installing Batteries (Sold Separately)

If eight commercially available AA nickel-metal hydride batteries are
installed, you’ll be able to play the JUNO-Di without connecting the AC
adaptor.

fig.cordhook-e.eps

• Place the AC adaptor so the side with the indicator (see
illustration) faces upwards and the side with textual
information faces downwards.

• The indicator will light when you plug the AC adaptor into
an AC outlet.

• To prevent the inadvertent disruption of power to your unit
(should the plug be pulled out accidentally), and to avoid
applying undue stress to the DC IN jack, anchor the power
cord using the cord hook, as shown in the illustration.

When to Replace the Batteries (BATTERY Indicator)

Connecting the External Equipment

Connecting Speakers or Headphones

Since JUNO-Di contains no amplifier or speakers, you’ll need to connect it
to audio equipment such as a keyboard amplifier, monitor speaker
system or home stereo, or use headphones to hear its sound.

In order to fully experience the JUNO-Di’s sound, we recommend using a
stereo amp/speaker system. If you’re using a mono system, however,
make your connections to the JUNO-Di’s OUTPUT L/MONO jack.

Audio cables are not included with the JUNO-Di. You’ll need to
provide them.

921

To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other
devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power
on all devices before making any connections.

fig.connect-output_e.eps

When the batteries run down, the BATTERY indicator located at the left of
the display will light or blink.

• The BATTERY indicator will light when the batteries run low.

• If you continue using the JUNO-Di, the indicator will blink;
please recharge the batteries.

• If you continue use even though the indicator is blinking,
the display will indicate “Battery Low!” and further operation
will be impossible.

• The BATTERY indicator is only an approximation.

Overview

How the JUNO-Di is Organized

Broadly speaking, the JUNO-Di consists of a controller section, a sound
generator section, and a song player section.

fig.BasicStruct-e.eps

Song Player Section

Song Player

Rhythm Pattern

(controllers such as keyboard, pitch bend/modulation lever, etc.)

Controller section

This section consists of a keyboard, pitch bend/modulation lever, the
panel buttons and knobs, D Beam controller, and pedals connected to
the rear panel. The performance information generated when you press/
release a key or press a hold pedal are transmitted as MIDI messages to
the sound generator section and/or an external MIDI device.

Keyboard Settings for Playing the JUNO-Di

Broadly speaking, there are two ways to play the JUNO-Di. One way is to
play using just a single tone (e.g., the sound of a piano or guitar). The other
way is to play more than one tone simultaneously; for example, by playing
a bass tone with your left hand and a piano tone with your right hand.

Playing a single tone

Use the [RHYTHM]–[SYNTH] tone buttons to select the sound you want to
play.

The sounds are assigned to the tone buttons by category, and there are
further sub-categories beneath each tone button. For example, the
[PIANO] button lets you select both piano sounds and electronic piano
sounds, while the [GUITAR/BASS] button lets you select guitar sounds
and bass sounds. To select a sub-category, press the desired tone button
and then use the [
can also use the [

The [RHYTHM] button lets you select rhythm sets that allow you to play
percussion instrument sounds from the keyboard.

You can edit the effect settings and other settings of a tone, and save
your changes for each sound.

Tones you’ve edited can be saved as “user tones” in memory numbers
501 through 628.

] button to select user tones.

Sound generator section

This section produces the sound. It receives MIDI messages from the
controller section, song player section, or an external MIDI device,
generates musical sound according to the MIDI messages that were
received, and outputs the sound from the OUTPUT jacks and PHONES
jack.

Song Player section

The Song Player is used to play back audio files or SMF saved in USB
memory.

It can also play rhythm patterns in a variety of styles.

You can play along on the keyboard accompanied by the song or rhythm
pattern played by the Song Player.

When using the JUNO-Di’s Song Player to play songs, you can
create a “playlist” to specify the order in which songs will play.
To create playlists, you need to use the included “Playlist
Editor.” For details, refer to “Using JUNO-Di Editor/Librarian/
Playlist Editor” (p. 85).

Playing more than one tone

To select settings that allow you to play multiple tones, turn the
[PERFORM] button on (lit).

Of the settings that allow you to play multiple tones, the “Split,” “Dual,”
and “Super Layer” settings (explained below) can be turned on using the
[SPLIT] button, [DUAL] button, and [SUPER LAYER] button, respectively.

Use the [PERFORM] button when you want to play multiple tones other
than these.

If you’ve edited the settings or created new settings, you can save them
as “user performances” in memory numbers 501 through 564.

If you saved user performances, you can select them by pressing the
[PERFORM] button and then pressing the [

Playing different tones with your right and left hands
(Split)

The “Split” function can be used when you want to play different tones
with your right and left hands. For example, you might use this to play a
piano tone with your right hand while playing a bass tone with your left
hand.

First, select the tone that you want to use for your right hand. Then press
the [SPLIT] button; the keyboard will be divided into right-hand and left­hand zones, allowing you to select and play the tone for your left hand.

The key at which the keyboard is divided into right-hand and left-hand
zones is called the “split point.” You can change and save the split point if
desired.

For more about the Split function, refer to p. 33.

] button.

54

Playing two layered sounds (Dual)

Use the “Dual” function when you want to play two tones layered. For
example, you might use this to play a piano tone layered with a strings
tone.

Select one of the tones you want to use, and then press the [DUAL]
button. Now you’ll hear two tones, and you can select and play the other
tone that you want to layer with the first.

For more about the Dual function, refer to p. 31.

Playing a single tone with more richness or
spaciousness (Super Layer)

“Super layer” lets you layer a single tone with multiple detuned copies of
itself, creating a thick and spacious sensation. This is particularly effective
on synth lead sounds.

To use the Super Layer function, select the tone that you want to use, and
then press the [SUPER LAYER] button.

For more about the Super Layer function, refer to p. 41.

Overview

About the Effects

The JUNO-Di has built-in effect units, and you can independently edit
each unit’s settings.

Multi-effects

The multi-effects are multi-purpose effects that completely change the
sound type by changing the sound itself.

Contained are 79 different effects types; select and use the type that suits
your aims.

In addition to single effects such as distortion or flanger, a broad range of
other effect types are provided. Some multi-effect types include chorus
or reverb, but these are independent of the chorus and reverb effects
described below.

You can use up to three different multi-effects simultaneously. They are
labeled MFX1, MFX2, and MFX3, respectively. For one tone you can use
one multi-effect.

Sometimes, “tones” are referred to as “patches.” So, the
indication “Patch” in a screen can be considered to mean
“tone.” In the included “JUNO-Di Editor,” all settings related to
tones are displayed as “Patch” settings.

By using the included “JUNO-Di Editor” software you can edit
the tones and performances in greater detail than possible
from the JUNO-Di’s front panel. For details, refer to the “JUNO­Di Editor” Help (owner’s manual). Tones and performances you
create using “JUNO-Di Editor” can be played on the JUNO-Di.

Favorites

“Favorites” store settings for frequently used tones and performances,
allowing you to recall them by simply pressing a button.

Favorites store the number of the tone or performance.

After editing a tone or performance, you can store it in user memory and
then register it as a favorite.

For further information, see p. 45, p. 46.

Rhythm Sets

A rhythm set is a set of percussion instrument sounds or sound effects.

When you press the [RHYTHM] sound button a rhythm set will be
selected, allowing you to play percussion instrument sounds from the
keyboard.

If you’ve selected a rhythm set, each key (note number) will play a
different percussion instrument sound.

The same key will play different sounds if you select a different rhythm
set.

For details on the percussion instrument sounds played by each key, refer
to the “Rhythm Set List” (p. 116).

If you want to use MFX3, make settings from the included
“JUNO-Di Editor.”

Chorus and reverb

For one tone you can use one chorus effect and one reverb effect.

Chorus adds depth and spaciousness to the sound.

You can select whether to use this as a chorus effect or a delay effect.

Reverb adds the reverberation characteristics of halls or auditoriums.

Five different types are offered, so you can select and use the type that
suits your purpose.

You can make chorus and reverb settings independently for when
playing a tone by itself and for when using that tone with the Split, Dual,
or Super Layer functions (when the [PERFORM] button is lit).

This means that even for the same tone, you can make and use different
settings when using that tone with the Split, Dual, and Super Layer
functions.

About Memory

Temporary memory

Tones and other settings are stored in what is referred to as memory.
There are three kind of memory: temporary, rewritable, and non­rewritable.

fig.Memory-Flow-e.eps

Temporary area

This is the area that holds the data for the tone or performance that
you’ve selected using the panel buttons.

When you play the JUNO-Di, sound is produced based on data in the
temporary area. When you edit a tone or performance, you do not
directly modify the data in memory; rather, you call up the data into the
temporary area, and edit it there.

Settings in the temporary area will be lost when the power is turned off
or when you select another tone/performance. To keep the settings you
have modified, you must write them into user memory.

Rewritable memory

User memory

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

To store a tone, rhythm set, or performance setting, you must execute the
corresponding save operation (P. 62).

Favorites you’ve registered are also saved in user memory.

System memory

System memory stores system parameter settings that determine how
the JUNO-Di functions.

System settings are saved automatically when you exit the system setting
screen.

“MIDI controller mode settings” and “the tones that are selected first by
each tone button” are also saved in system memory.

“Performance” refers to settings that let you play more than
one tone at once, such as Split, Dual, or Super Layer settings.

USB memory

The following settings can be backed up together to USB memory.

• User tones (rhythm sets)

• User performances

• Favorites

• MIDI controller mode settings

• System settings

• The tones that are selected first by each tone button

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.

Overview

The “*” indication in the main screen

When you edit the sound or performance settings (e.g., when you
change the lower sound of a split), an “*” will appear in the main
screen.

• For settings that play a single sound, an “*” will be added to the
sound name in the main screen when you edit the sound’s
settings (Patch Edit; p. 59 or Rhythm Edit; p. 60).

• For settings that play multiple sounds, an “*” will be added to the
performance name in the main screen when you switch the sounds
you’re playing or when you edit the settings (Part Edit; p. 60).

• For settings that play multiple sounds, an “*” will be added to the
sound name in the main screen when you edit the sound settings
(Patch Edit; p. 59, Rhythm Edit; p. 60).

When you save the sound or settings (performance) indicated by
the “*” to user memory, the “*” will disappear from the main screen.

Settings you’ve edited will be lost when you turn off the
power or select another sound. If you want to keep the
changes you made, save them to user memory.
For more information about saving, see “Saving Your
Settings” (p. 62).

Assigning a Name

On the JUNO-Di, you can assign names to each tone, rhythm set,
performance. The procedure is the same for any type of data.

will be applied (ON) or not (OFF).
* Portamento is an effect which smoothly

changes the pitch from the first-played
key to the next-played key. By applying
portamento when the Mono/Poly is
“MONO,” you can simulate slide
performance techniques on a violin or
similar instrument.

When portamento is used, this specifies
the time over which the pitch will change.
Higher settings will cause the pitch
change to the next note to take more
time.

Specifies whether the patch will play
polyphonically (POLY) or monophonically
(MONO).
The “MONO” setting is effective when
playing a solo instrument patch such as
sax or flute.

MONO

: Only the last-played note will

sound.

POLY

: Two or more notes can be played

simultaneously.

Specifies the degree of pitch change in
semitones when the pitch bend lever is all
the way right.
For example, if this parameter is set to
“+12,” the pitch will rise one octave when
the pitch bend lever is moved to the right­most position.

Specifies the degree of pitch change in
semitones when the pitch bend lever is all
the way left.
For example if this is set to “-48” and you
move the pitch bend lever all the way to
the left, the pitch will fall 4 octaves.

button is lit).

When playing a single tone

You can use multi-effect (MFX), chorus, and reverb for each tone.

When playing more than one tone

For each setting, you can use a maximum of three multi-effects (MFX1,
MFX2, MFX3), one chorus, and one reverb. For Split or Dual, you can use
two multi-effects (MFX1, MFX2).

The details are as follows.

For Super Layer

MFX1 applied to all parts.

For Split

MFX1 applied to upper, MFX2 applied to lower.

want to keep the changes you make, you must write them into
memory.

When you use Effect Edit to modify the settings, an “*” will
appear next to the tone name or performance name. This “*”
will disappear when you save that tone or performance.

When you use settings that play multiple tones, the “MFX
SOURCE” setting determines whether the effect settings will be
taken from the performance or from the patch (tone). You’ll
need to use the included “JUNO-Di Editor” to view or change
this setting.

Specifying the Tone that will be First Selected by a Tone Button

You can specify the tone that will be first selected when you press a tone
button immediately after turning on the power.

Select the tone that you want to specify.

The next time you turn on the power, pressing that tone button will
select the tone you selected in step 1.

You can’t specify a tone button of a different category than the
one you selected in step 1.

You can recall the sound you switched here by pressing the
tone button twice in succession.

Saving Your Settings

If you’ve edited the settings, remember that your changes will be lost
when you turn off the power or select a different sound. If you want to
keep the changes you made, you must save them.

Settings you save are stored in user memory, starting with number 501.

When you edit a tone or performance settings, an “*” will
appear next to the tone name or performance name in the
screen. This “*” will disappear when you save the settings.

When you save settings, the data that was previously in that
location will be overwritten.

Select the tone or performance that you want to save.

1.

If you’re using settings that play more than one tone (i.e., when the
[PERFORM] button is lit), the data that’s saved will depend on the
location of the cursor.

For example if you’re using split, the Performance (settings that
choose the tones to play) will be saved if the cursor is in the upper
line of the screen. If the cursor is in the middle line of the screen, the
Upper tone will be saved. In this case, the “PATCH WRITE” screen will
indicate “U.” If the cursor is in the bottom line of the screen, the
Lower tone will be saved.

2.

Press the [WRITE] button.

The “WRITE” screen will appear.

If you’re saving a tone, the “PATCH WRITE” screen will appear.

If you’re saving a rhythm set, the “RHYTHM SET WRITE” screen or

style. You can adjust the amount (“spread”) of
this dynamic variation.

With a setting of “100,” the arpeggiated notes

For example if you use the JUNO-Di in conjunction with Edirol P-10, you’ll
be able to do the following things.

• Use the JUNO-Di’s keyboard (the far-left octave) to switch images.

• Use the JUNO-Di’s pitch bend lever to control the image playback
speed.

• You can use the JUNO-Di’s knobs to control the brightness and hue of
the image.

Connection Example

As an example, we will use a setup in which the JUNO-Di is connected to
the EDIROL P-10. Use a MIDI cable to connect the JUNO-Di’s MIDI OUT
connector to the MIDI IN connector of the EDIROL P-10.

Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power
to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage
to speakers or other devices.

Song Player Settings

The JUNO-Di’s “SONG PLAYER” has the following two functions.

You can play along on the keyboard to the accompaniment of the music
played back by the song player.

Song Player

This plays back songs (audio files or SMF) saved on USB memory. You can
play back songs in an order specified by a “playlist.”

Playlist:

When playing back multiple songs on the JUNO-Di, you can
create a list to specify the order in which the songs will be
played. Use the included “Playlist Editor” software to create a
playlist.

Song list:

This refers to the list of the songs specified in the playlist.

Rhythm Pattern (p. 74)

This plays back rhythm patterns for a wide variety of musical styles.

You can’t use the song player and rhythm patterns at the same
time.

Playing Back Music Files

• You’ll need to use the included “Playlist Editor” to create
playlists. You can’t create playlists on the JUNO-Di itself.

• Playlist Editor can handle up to 999 songs and 999 playlists,
but the JUNO-Di can use a maximum of 399 songs and 399
playlists.

• You can play back individual songs without creating a
playlist. In this case, you’ll need to place the SMF or audio
files in the root directory of your USB memory. A maximum
of 99 songs can be in the root directory.

• Audio files must have a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz in
order to play them.

Folder structure

When you use the included “Playlist Editor” to create a playlist, the
following folders and files are created.

Root directory

ROLAND folder

PLAYLIST folder

Playlists may not be shown if you directly add/delete/modify
the song data in the PLAYLIST folder without using Playlist
Editor.

(SONG PLAYER)

Here’s the procedure for using the JUNO-Di’s song player to play back
music files.

1.

Copy the data from your computer to USB memory.

Music files in SMF, WAV, AIFF, or MP3 formats can be played.
For details, refer to “SMF/Audio Files that can be Played”.

2.

Connect your USB memory to the JUNO-Di, and play back
the music file.

• Please use USB memory sold by Roland. We cannot
guarantee operation if other products are used.

• Connect your USB memory after you’ve turned the JUNO­Di’s power on.

• Never disconnect the USB memory while the power is
turned on.

Creating a playlist

On your computer, start up the included “Playlist Editor” software and
create a playlist. When you want to use the JUNO-Di to play backing
tracks (accompaniment), it’s convenient to create a playlist beforehand to
specify the order in which the tracks should be played.

For details on how to create a playlist, refer to the
“PlaylistEditorManualE.pdf” that’s installed together with “Playlist Editor.”

Connecting an External MIDI Device

GM

GM (General MIDI) is a set of recommendations that allows the MIDI
capabilities of sound modules to be standardized across
manufacturers. Sound modules or music data that meet the GM

standard carry the GM logo ( ). Music data with the GM logo
can be played back on any sound module carrying the GM logo, and
will produce essentially the same musical performance.

GM2

GM2 ( ) is a set of recommendations that is upwardly
compatible with the original GM recommendations, and allows a
higher level of musical expression and compatibility. It covers issues
that were not covered by the original GM recommendations, such
as ways in which sounds can be edited and how effects should be
handled. It also expands the sounds that are available.

Sound modules that are compatible with GM2 will correctly play
back music data that carries either the GM or GM2 logo. The original
GM, which does not include the GM2 enhancements, is sometimes
called “GM1” in order to distinguish it from the newer set of
recommendations.

Example:

About MIDI

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard specification that
allows musical data to be transferred between electronic musical
instruments and computers. If a MIDI cable is connected between devices
equipped with MIDI connectors, you’ll be able to play multiple devices
from a single MIDI keyboard, perform ensembles using multiple MIDI
instruments, program the settings to change automatically as the song
progresses, and more.

About MIDI Connectors

The JUNO-Di is equipped with the following two types of MIDI
connectors, each of which has the following role.

fig.midiconnector

Set the transmitting device to transmit on channel 1 and channel 2, set
sound module A to receive only channel 1, and set sound module B to
receive only channel 2. With this setup, you could create an ensemble in
which sound module A is playing a guitar sound while sound module B is
playing a bass sound.

fig.MidiCh2-j.eps

MIDI OUT MIDI IN MIDI THRU

Transmit channel: 1, 2

MIDI keyboard

You’ll be able to use up to sixteen channels when using the JUNO-Di as a
sound module. Sound modules that can receive multiple channels of
data simultaneously and play different sounds on each channel are called
multitimbral sound modules.

MIDI IN Connector

This connector receives MIDI messages that are sent from an external
MIDI device. When the JUNO-Di receives MIDI messages, it can respond
by playing notes, switching sounds, etc.

MIDI OUT Connector

This connector transmits MIDI messages to an external MIDI device. Use it
when you want to control an external MIDI device.

MIDI Channels and Multitimbral Sound Generators

MIDI is able to transmit multiple streams of performance data over a
single MIDI cable. This is made possible thanks to the concept of MIDI
channels. MIDI channels allow a receiving device to pay attention only to
the messages that are intended for it, and not to messages intended for
another device. In some ways, MIDI channels are similar to television
channels. By changing the reception channel of a television set, you can
view the programs that are being broadcast by different stations. This is
because the television set is choosing only the desired data from the
variety of data that is being broadcast. In the same way, MIDI also allows
a device to distinguish and use only the incoming data that is being
transmitted to it.

fig.MidiCh1-j.eps

The cable from the antenna carries the TV
signals from many broadcast stations.

Station A

Station B

Station C

The TV is set to the channel of the station
you wish to watch.

There are sixteen MIDI channels: 1-16. Normally, you’ll set the receiving
device to receive only the channels that it needs to receive.

Connecting an External MIDI Device

Using the JUNO-Di as a MIDI Sound Module

You can use the JUNO-Di as a MIDI sound module in one of two ways; in
Patch mode to play a single tone, or in Performance mode to play more
than one tone simultaneously.

Patch mode

In Patch mode you can use a connected keyboard or other device to play
a single tone (patch) on the JUNO-Di. Since Patch mode lets you use a
variety of effects on a single tone (patch), you can play very rich textures.

In Patch mode it’s also easy to edit the selected sound, so this is the mode
to use when editing or creating your own sounds.
In Patch mode, the [PERFORM] button will be extinguished.

Performance mode

In Performance mode you can use multiple tones (patches) or rhythm
sets simultaneously.

If the [PERFORM] button is on (lit), the JUNO-Di is in Performance mode.

A performance contains sixteen “Parts.” You can assign a tone (patch) or
rhythm set to each part, and use them as an ensemble, or layer sounds to
create rich textures.

How a performance is structured

A performance has a tone (patch) or rhythm set assigned to each of the
16 parts, and can simultaneously handle 16 sounds.

Part

A “part” is something to which you assign a tone (patch) or rhythm set. In
Performance mode, each performance has sixteen parts, and you can
assign a tone (patch) or rhythm set to each part.

in “Procedure for Making System Settings” (p. 75), select the “MIDI”
menu, select “Patch Rx/Tx Ch” as the item you want to set, and specify the
receive channel.

In Performance mode

The JUNO-Di supports GM2; when it receives the MIDI message “GM2
System On,” it will be ready to play back GM2-compatible SMF.
Alternatively, you can press the [PERFORM] button and select “64: GM2
Template” to use the JUNO-Di as a GM2 sound module.

If you want to use the JUNO-Di as a sound module to play multiple parts,
press the [PERFORM] button and select “63:Seq:Template.”

• If “63: Seq:Template” or “64: GM2 Template” are selected, the receive
channels will be set as follows: part 1 to ch.1, part 2 to ch.2, ... part 16
to ch.16.

• If Super Layer is selected, the receive channel is fixed at channel 1.

• If Dual or Split are selected, the receive channel for part 1 (upper) is

Troubleshooting

If the JUNO-Di does not function in the way you expect, first check the following points. If this does not resolve the problem, consult your dealer or a nearby
Roland Service Station.

* If any sort of message is being displayed on the screen during an operation, refer to “Error Messages” (p. 92).

A specific Part does not sound.

Q

Problems Concerning the Entire JUNO-Di

Q

The power does not turn on.

A

Check the following points.

• Make sure that the JUNO-Di’s AC adaptor is correctly connected to

an AC outlet and to the rear panel power connector, and that the

adaptor itself and AC power cord are connected correctly (p. 17).

• If you connect the AC adaptor and turn on the power when

batteries are installed, the AC adaptor will be used preferentially.

Even if batteries are installed, the power will not turn on unless the

AC adaptor is connected to an AC outlet.

• If you’re using batteries, disconnect the AC adaptor from the JUNO-

Di. If batteries are installed, connecting or disconnecting the power

cord from the outlet or connecting or disconnecting the DC plug of

the AC adaptor while the JUNO-Di is turned on will cause the power

to turn off.

Issues Related to Sound

Q

There is no sound.

A

Check the following points.

• Is the power for connected amps and speakers turned on?

• Could you have lowered the volume of your connected equipment?

• Is the [VOLUME] knob turned all the way down?

• Have connections been made correctly?

• Can you hear sound through headphones?

If there is sound in the headphones, it is possible that the

connection cables are broken, or that your amp/mixer has

malfunctioned. Check your cables and amp/mixer system once

again.

• If you do not hear sound when you play the keyboard, check

whether the Local Switch is turned OFF.

Make sure that the Local Switch setting is turned on (p. 76).

• Could the level of the tone (patch) be too low?

Check the level setting.

• The Part level settings may be too low.

Check the level of each part (p. 60).

• Are the Effect settings correct?

Check the Effect settings ON or OFF (p. 61).

Also use the included “JUNO-Di Editor” to check the effect level and

other settings.

• Could the volume have been lowered by pedal operations,

operations of the D Beam controller, or by MIDI messages (volume

or expression messages) received from an external MIDI device?

A

Check the following points.

• Has the volume level of the part been lowered?

Check the level of each part (p. 60).

• Use the included “JUNO-Di Editor” to check the following settings.

Could the keyboard switch be off?

Turn the keyboard switch on.

Could the part be muted?

Set the Mute parameter to “OFF.”

Q

Specific pitch ranges do not sound.

A

Use the included “JUNO-Di Editor” to check the following settings.

• Has a restricted range of notes been set?

If a specific range of notes does not sound, check the Key Range

settings for the Patch Tone, the Performance Part.

• Tone Key Range

VELOCITY & KEY RANGE PATCH KEY RANGE LOWER/UPPER

• Part Key Range

PERFORM KEYBOARD RANGE LOWER/UPPER

Q

The sound is distorted.

A

Check the following points.

• Is an effect which distorts the sound being applied?

If the sound for a specific tone (patch) or part is distorted, lower the

volume level on that part.

• If all sounds are distorted, use the [VOLUME] knob to lower the

volume level.

• Could the Output Gain be excessively high?

Check the system setting “SOUND” (p. 75).

Pitch is incorrect.

Q
A

Check the following points.

• Is the tuning of the JUNO-Di incorrect?

Check the “Master Tune” setting (p. 75).

• Has the pitch been changed by pedal operations or by Pitch Bend

messages received from an external MIDI device?

• Use the included “JUNO-Di Editor” to check the following settings.

Have the Coarse or Fine parameters been set for specific Parts?

Check the Coarse parameter and Fine parameter settings.

Q

The sound is interrupted.

Use the included “JUNO-Di Editor” to check the following settings.

A

• Sounds will be interrupted if more than 128 voices are used

simultaneously.

• Reduce the number of Tones that you are using.

• Increase the Voice Reserve setting for parts that must not drop out.

88

Troubleshooting

Q

When I play the keyboard, notes do not stop.

A

Is the pedal polarity of the Hold Pedal reversed?

Check the “Hold Pedal” “Polarity” parameter setting (p. 76).

There are some sounds I can’t select.

Q
A

If you use the included “JUNO-Di Editor” to set the patch’s category

to “NO ASSIGN,” you won’t be able to select it from the JUNO-Di’s

panel.

The sound cuts off when I switch tones (patches) in Patch

Q

mode.

A

Although you can apply a wide variety of multi-effects with the

JUNO-Di’s multi-effects, switching the tone (patch) also switches the

type of multi-effects used.

In such instances, discrepancies between the sound being produced

and the multi-effects type can arise, which may result in sounds

being different than intended, so sounds produced when tones

(patches) are switched may be muted when factory settings are in

effect. In certain situations, such as when not using multi-effects

that have a great influence on the sound, remembering to set Patch

Remain parameter to “ON” allows you to switch Patches without

sounds being muted. Use the included “JUNO-Di Editor” to check

the Patch Remain setting.

Q

When switching tones (patches) in Patch mode, the
volume and other parameters set with Control Changes
end up being reset.

A

Set Patch Remain parameter to “ON.” Even once they have switched

Patches, Control Change messages that have been received are

carried forward, so even when switching a tone (patch) whose level

is turned all the way down by a Control Change volume message,

the level remains unchanged. Use the included “JUNO-Di Editor” to

check the Patch Remain setting.

Q

Sometimes, when playing legato, the pitch won’t rise.

A

Use the included “JUNO-Di Editor” to check the following settings.

When the Legato Switch parameter is “ON,” and the Legato

Retrigger parameter is “OFF,” and you hold down keys in the high

register to play legato, the upper pitch limit of the wave may be

exceeded, so that the pitch does not rise as far as you expect, but

will stop rising at a certain point. Additionally, if differing upper

pitch limits are used for the waves of a tone (patch) that uses

multiple tones, it may stop being heard in MONO. When making

large pitch changes, set the Legato Retrigger parameter to “ON.”

Q

The notes sound strange in the upper registers of the
keyboard.

A

Sometimes when playing the keys in the upper part of the JUNO-

Di’s keyboard, the sound may stop, or the pitch may stop rising; or

with certain keys, there may be intermittent noise. This occurs

mainly when the JUNO-Di’s upper pitch limit is exceeded, so this

issue doesn’t arise in the ranges normally used. But, in any case, it

does not indicate a malfunction.

Although the same tone (patch) is selected, it sounds

Q

different when I listen to it in the Performance.

A

Use the included “JUNO-Di Editor” to check the following settings.

In Performance mode, the parameters of each part of the

performance can apply further modification to parameters such as

pan, octave, and filter, relative to the settings specified by the patch.

Thus, tones (patches) in a Performance may sound different than

they do when heard in Patch mode.

Additionally, although a tone (patch) may comprise tones created

with the use of the multi-effects, the multi-effects used in the

Performance may differ from the multi-effects selected by the tone

(patch). Check the multi-effect settings of the performance. Also do

the same for the Chorus and Reverb settings.

Q

If the Tone Delay time value is set to the note, then does
the delay time not change beyond a fixed length when
the tempo is slowed down?

A

Use the included “JUNO-Di Editor” to check the following settings.

There is a maximum permissible value for the Tone Delay Time

parameter. So, if the time setting is specified in terms of a note

value, and the tempo is slowed down, this maximum permissible

value will be reached, and it cannot be increased further. The upper

time limit for each is the maximum value that can be set other than

the numerical value for the beat.

Even when I set the Pan for a tone (patch) completely to

Q

one side, sound still comes from the other channel.

A

The JUNO-Di’s internal effects are in stereo, so if you have effects

applied to a tone (patch), even if the Pan is set all the way to one

side, you will still be able to hear sounds of the effect component

from the other channel.

Q

I can’t play arpeggios.
The rhythm pattern won’t play.

A

Could the system setting “Sync Mode” (p. 76) be set to “SLAVE”?

If “Sync Mode” is set to “SLAVE,” the JUNO-Di needs to receive MIDI

clock messages from an external device.

You should leave “Sync Mode” set to “MASTER” unless you’re

synchronizing the JUNO-Di to an external device.

89

Troubleshooting

Issues Related to Effects

Effects not applied.

Q
A

Check the following points.

• Could the effect switch be off?

Check the on/off status of each effect (p. 61).

• Are the various effect settings correct? (p. 61)

Use the included “JUNO-Di Editor” to check the following settings.

• In Performance mode, is the Output Assign setting of each part set

to “MFX”?

In some cases, such as “064: GM2 Template,” the Output Assign is

not set to “MFX” with the factory settings.

• If the send level of each effect is set to 0, the effect will not be

applied. Check the settings.

• Even with send levels to each effect set at 0, effects are not applied if

the Multi-effects Output Level, the Chorus Level, or the Reverb Level

is set to 0. Check each setting.

Q

The Modulation or other controller is always on.

A

Use the included “JUNO-Di Editor” to check the following settings.

Check the Matrix Controller settings.

The JUNO-Di allows you to use the Matrix Control to control tones

(patches) in real time. The Matrix Control functions as the control

source for the Control Change and other MIDI messages received by

the JUNO-Di, and makes changes to the various tone (patch)

parameters based on these messages.

Depending on these settings, the JUNO-Di may be responding to

MIDI messages sent from external MIDI devices, and may result the

tones (patches) sounding different than intended.

Raising the chorus or reverb send level for each part of a

Q

performance still does not cause the effect to be applied
sufficiently.

A

Use the included “JUNO-Di Editor” to check the following settings.

Although you can make Send level settings to the Chorus and

Reverb for each individual Part in a Performance, these values only

set the upper limit of the Chorus and Reverb Send levels for the tone

(patch) used. Accordingly, even when the value is set to the

maximum of 127, if the Send level is lowered in the tone (patch)

being used, there will be no effect. In addition, different tone (patch)

Chorus and Reverb Send level settings can be used according to

whether or not the multi-effects are used.

Using the Matrix Control or other such means to control

Q

the LFO results in noise when the Pan is changed
suddenly.

A

Use the included “JUNO-Di Editor” to check the following settings.

Lower the change in speed (LFO Rate).

Due to the specialized processing used for the Pan, which alters the

volume level in each of the left and right sides, sudden Pan

movements causing rapid changes in these levels creates large

changes in volume, and noise from this may be audible as a result.

Q

Multi-effect 43: DELAY or other delay time value is set to
the note, and then the tempo is slowed down, does the
delay time not change beyond a fixed length?

A

Such Delay time settings have an upper limit, so if the upper limit of

a value set to the note is exceeded when the tempo is retarded, that

upper value cannot rise any further. The upper time limit for each is

the maximum value that can be set other than the numerical value

for the beat.

Issues Related to Saving Data

Q

The sound or performance settings (Performance) are
not saved when you perform the Write operation.

A

If you’re using settings that enable you to play with multiple tones

(i.e., when the [PERFORM] button is lit), the data that is saved will

depend on the location of the cursor in the Main screen (p. 58).

For example, if you want to save the Performance settings, move the

cursor to the upper line of the screen and then press the [WRITE]

button.

The Performance sounds different than when it was

Q

written.

A

If you have modified the settings of a tone (patch) used by a

performance, or if the temporary patch of the performance has

been modified by an external MIDI device, these tones (patches)

must also be saved.

If tones (patches) used by a performance have been edited when

you write that performance, the JUNO-Di will display a message

asking whether you want to discard these patches. In such cases,

first save the tone (patch) or rhythm set, and then save the

performance again (p. 62).

Q

Tones (patches) sound different than when written.

A

The write operation cannot be used to save tones (patches) as

changed in Patch mode using Control Change messages from an

external MIDI device.

Issues Related to Songs

Playlists are not shown.

Q
A

This may be due to the following reasons.

• Playlists may not be shown if you directly add/delete/modify the

song data in the PLAYLIST folder without using Playlist Editor.

• For some reason the USB memory is not recognized.

• It is possible that the USB memory was not formatted correctly. The

JUNO-Di can use USB memory that has been formatted as FAT. If

your USB memory was formatted using any other method, please

re-format it using FAT.

Songs are not shown.

Q
A

This may be due to the following reasons.

• Are the songs placed in the root directory?

Even if you place a song in a newly created folder, it will not be

displayed by the JUNO-Di.

90

Troubleshooting

• Songs may not be shown if you directly add/delete/modify the song

data in the PLAYLIST folder without using Playlist Editor.

• It is possible that the USB memory was not formatted correctly. The

JUNO-Di can use USB memory that has been formatted as FAT. If

your USB memory was formatted using any other method, please

re-format it using FAT.

Songs won’t play.

Q
A

This may be due to the following reasons.

• Songs (audio files) whose sample rate is other than 44.1 kHz cannot

be played by the JUNO-Di.

• The file type of the song is not one of the file types that the

JUNO-Di can play.

• It may be that the song data is damaged.

• Songs cannot be played if you directly add/delete/modify the song

data in the PLAYLIST folder without using Playlist Editor.

Q

Can’t hear the playback sound.

A

Check the following point.

• [VOLUME] knob setting

• Value for LEVEL that appears when you press the [LEVEL] button (p.

72, p. 74).

• Minus-one setting (p. 76)

Issues Related to MIDI and External
Devices

Q

No Sound from connected MIDI device.

A

Check the following points.

• Is the instrument set to transmit MIDI messages?

• In Patch Mode

“Patch Rx/Tx Ch” value in the SYSTEM setting “MIDI” (p. 76)

• In Performance Mode

Use the included “JUNO-Di Editor” to check the following settings.

Keyboard switch.

MIDI messages are not transmitted for parts whose keyboard switch

is turned off.

Q

When using sequencing software, operating the knobs
or other controls does not affect the sound.

A

For some sequencing programs, System Exclusive messages are not

transmitted by the Thru function. If you are using such sequencer

software and want to record system exclusive messages, turn on the

following parameters.

• In Patch Mode

“Local Switch” setting (p. 76).

• In Performance Mode

Use the included “JUNO-Di Editor” to check the Keyboard switch

settings.

Q

When the Bend Range for a tone (patch) is increased (48),
the pitch does not rise sufficiently, even when a MIDI
Pitch Bend message is received.

A

While Patch Bend Ranges can be set anywhere between 0 and 48,

when certain Waves in which the pitch is raised (in the + direction)

are used, the pitch may stop rising at a fixed point, rather than

continuing to go up. Although a value of 12 is ensured for the upper

limit of raised pitches, use caution when setting the Bend Range

above this figure.

Microphone sound is not output/is too weak.

Q
A

Check the following points.

• Is the mic cable connected correctly?

Check the connection.

• Could you have connected a condenser mic?

The JUNO-Di does not support the use of condenser microphones.

• The mic level may have been lowered.

Could the front panel MIC IN [VOLUME] knob be turned down?

• Could the System setting “MIC IN SETTINGS” item “Mic Mode” be set

to “VOCODER”?

If this is set to “VOCODER,” a microphone is usable only when the

effect type is “VOCODER” (p. 76).

Q

The volume level of the instrument connected to JUNO­Di is too low.

A

Could you be using a connection cable that contains a resistor?

Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.

Q

Exclusive messages are not received.

A

Does the Device ID number of the transmitting device match the

Device ID number of the JUNO-Di?

The device ID number is fixed at “17.”

The JUNO-Di’s rhythm set does not sound when an

Q

external sequencer or MIDI keyboard is connected to the
MIDI IN connector.

A

Check to make sure that the MIDI Transmit channel of the external

MIDI device and the JUNO-Di’s MIDI Receive channel are matched.

The MIDI Receive channel used by the JUNO-Di in Patch mode is set

with the Kbd Patch RX/TX Channel parameter. Rhythm Set

performance data is generally received on MIDI Channel 10.

Issues Related to USB Memory

USB memory is not detected.

Q

The files are not shown.

Check the format of your USB memory.

A

The JUNO-Di can use USB memory that has been formatted as FAT.

If your USB memory was formatted using any other method, please

re-format it using FAT.

Can’t back up to USB memory

Q
A

Check the following points.

• Could the USB memory be write protected?

• Is there sufficient free space on the USB memory?

About Note

Some effect settings (such as Rate or Delay Time) can be specified in
terms of a note value. The note value for the current setting is shown
following the numerical value.

* If the Rate is specified as a note value, the modulation will be

synchronized with the tempo when you play back SMF song data.

note:

fig.MFX-note2.e_88

Sixty-fourth-note triplet

Thirty-second note

Sixteenth note

Half note

Whole note

Double note

If you specify the delay time as a note value, slowing down the
tempo will not change the delay time beyond a certain length.
This is because there is an upper limit for the delay time; if the
delay time is specified as a note value and you slow down the
tempo until this upper limit is reached, the delay time cannot
change any further. This upper limit is the maximum value that
can be specified when setting the delay time as a numerical
value.
