You can connect an expression pedal (EV-5; sold separately) or pedal switch (DP series; sold separately) here and use them to control various parameters or functions.

* Use only the specied expression pedal (EV-

5; sold separately). By connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.

You can connect a pedal switch (DP series; sold separately) and use it as a hold pedal.

Connect your dynamic microphone here. This is an unbalanced 1/4” phone jack.

These output the audio signal in stereo to your amp or mixer. If you’re outputting in mono, connect only the L/MONO jack.

Use a commercially available USB 2.0 cable to connect this unit to your computer. You can synchronize it with a DAW on your computer via USB MIDI, and record the sound of the JUNO-DS into your DAW via USB audio.

Connect a USB ash drive (sold separately) here. You can use a USB ash drive to play audio les or to back up data.

* Never insert or remove the USB ash drives

while this unit is turned on. Doing so may corrupt the unit’s data or the data on the USB ash drives.

* Carefully insert the USB ash drives all the way

in—until it is rmly in place.

Connect the included AC adaptor here.

* 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 jack, anchor the power cord using the cord hook, as shown in the illustration.

The power to this unit will be turned o automatically after a predetermined amount of time has passed since it was last used for playing music, or its buttons or controls were operated (Auto O function). If you do not want the power to be turned o automatically, disengage the Auto O function (p. 16).

NOTE

5Any settings that you are in the process

of editing will be lost when the power is turned o. If you have any settings that you want to keep, you should save them beforehand.

5To restore power, turn the power on

again.

Installing Batteries

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

Remove the battery compartment cover.

61-key model, 76-key model

88-key model

* When turning the unit over, be careful so as to protect the buttons and knobs

from damage. Also, handle the unit carefully; do not drop it.

Insert the batteries into the battery compartment, taking care to observe

the correct polarity.

61-key model, 76-key model 88-key model

Securely close the battery compartment cover.

NOTE

If you handle batteries improperly, you risk explosion and uid leakage. Make sure that you carefully observe all of the items related to batteries that are listed in “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” and “IMPORTANT NOTES” (leaet “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” and Owner’s manual (p. 20)).

When to replace the batteries (BATTERY indicator)

When the batteries run down, the BATTERY indicator will light or blink.

5The BATTERY indicator will light when the batteries run low. 5If you continue using the JUNO-DS, the indicator will blink; please replace the

batteries.

NOTE

5If you continue use even though the indicator is blinking, the display will

indicate “Battery Low!” and further operation will be impossible.

5The BATTERY indicator is only an approximation.

While pressing the tabs of the battery compartment cover on the bottom panel, remove the cover.

Slide the top panel battery compartment cover, and detach the cover.

Overview

How the JUNO-DS Is Organized

Controller section

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

Sound Generator section

This section receives performance information sent from the controller section, and sounds a patch or performance accordingly.

Eects

MFX (Multi eects) Provides 80 types of eect, such as distortion and anger.

Chorus/Reverb

* MFX and chorus/reverb can have dierent settings for each patch and performance.

Phrase Pad

These play the phrases that are assigned to pads [1]–[8].

Rhythm Pattern The pads play dedicated rhythm patterns.

Pattern Sequencer

Audio Player The pads play audio les from a USB ash drive.

Patch

A patch is a sound that you can perform. Each patch consists of up to four “tones,” and you can create a wide variety of sounds by combining tones.

Drum Kit

A drum kit is a collection of percussion instrument sounds or sound eects. Each dierent key (note number) plays a dierent percussion instrument or sound eect.

Sample

These are sounds created by Sample Import (p. 9).

Performance

A performance lets you assign a dierent patch, drum kit, or sample to each of 16 parts, allowing you to use 16 dierent sounds simultaneously. The following settings are also saved as performance settings.

SPLIT Use dierent sounds for the right and left hands

DUAL Layer two sounds

SUPER LAYER Layer a single sound to create a richer feeling

When you select Split or Dual, the patches of part 1 and part 2 are used.

“Patch mode” is when you select and play a single patch (or drum kit or sample). “Performance mode” is when you select and play a performance. When using SPLIT/DUAL/SUPER LAYER, you’ll always be in Performance mode (the [PATCH/PERFORM] button is lit).

A chorus/reverb unit that can be used independently of the chorus/reverb eects of the MFX unit. Chorus can also be used as a delay.

The pads record patterns of several measures, and play them back while you perform.

Turning On/O the Power

Before turning the unit on/o, always be sure to turn the volume down. Even with the volume turned down, you might hear some sound when switching the unit on/ o. However, this is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

Turn the power on in the following order:

this unit 0 connected devices.

* This unit is equipped with a protection

circuit. A brief interval (a few seconds) after turning the unit on is required before it will operate normally.

A screen like the following appears.

* The explanations in this manual include illustrations that depict what should

typically be shown by the display. Note, however, that your unit may incorporate a newer, enhanced version of the system (e.g., includes newer sounds), so what you actually see in the display may not always match what appears in the manual.

Turn the [MASTER VOLUME] knob to adjust the volume.

Turning the Power O

Turn the power o in the following order: connected devices 0 this unit.

Patches are organized into categories which are assigned to buttons. Each category is further divided into several sub-categories.

Use the value dial to select a patch.

MEMO

Patches whose category number is marked with an “S” (e.g., Pf: S01) are specially recommended sounds.

Changing the Key Touch (KEY TOUCH)

Sets the keyboard’s touch.

Press the [KEY TOUCH] button.

The KEY TOUCH screen appears.

Move the cursor to “Velo Curve,” and use the value dial to change the

setting.

Value Explanation

LIGHT

MEDIUM This sets the keyboard to the standard touch.

HEAVY

This sets the keyboard to a light touch. You can achieve fortissimo ( ) play with a less forceful touch than MEDIUM setting, so the keyboard feels lighter. This setting makes it easier for children, whose hands have less strength.

This sets the keyboard to a heavy touch. You have to play the keyboard more forcefully than MEDIUM setting in order to play fortissimo (), so the keyboard touch feels heavier. This setting allows you to add more expression when playing dynamically.

MEMO

You can also make more detailed adjustments to the keyboard touch, or specify that all notes sound at a xed volume regardless of your keyboard playing dynamics. For details, refer to system settings “KEY TOUCH” (p. 16).

Shifting the Key Range in Semitone Steps (Transpose)

Hold down the [TRANSPOSE] button,

and press the OCTAVE [DOWN] or [UP] buttons.

If a value other than “C” is set, the [TRANSPOSE] button is lit. To reset the value to “C,” hold down the [TRANSPOSE] button and press the OCTAVE [DOWN] and [UP] buttons simultaneously.

Using the Control Knobs to Vary the Sound

You can use the Control knobs to control the sound in real time. You can control a total of 12 parameters, organized as three groups each containing four parameters.

If you select the parameters to be set for each part, the target aected by these modications will depend on the current settings.
