Note When Updating

5We recommend that you save your data to a USB ash drive before you perform

the update. If a problem occurs and your data is lost, you will be able to restore the original state by reloading the data you saved. For details on the procedure, refer to the following sections of the “Saving JUNO-DS’s Data to USB Flash Drive (BACKUP)” of the Owner’s Manual p. 18.

5Never apply this update data to any product other than the JUNO-DS. This update

data may destroy the data or system program of other products.

5Never power-o your JUNO-DS while the update is in progress!

If a power failure or similar accident occurs during the update process, the JUNO-DS won’t be able to start up in normal operating mode. This will require servicing, so you will need to contact Roland service center near you if this occurs.

5We regret that we are unable to answer questions regarding the update procedure

using this system program. Please perform the update responsibly, following the directions given in this document.

Sample Cleanup (SAMPLE CLEANUP)

Cleanup is a function that deletes unused sample waveform data. For example, if a patch number containing a sample created by sample import is overwritten by a dierent patch, the sample’s waveform data remains by itself. The cleanup function deletes this type of unused sample waveform data in a single operation. This makes it a useful way to obtain the free memory that is needed when importing new samples.

Press the [SAMPLE IMPORT] button to make it light.

The SAMPLE MENU screen appears.

Move the cursor to “SAMPLE CLEANUP,” and press the [ENTER] button.
