Basic Structure
Tone
The sounds that you play from the keyboard are called “tones.”
A tone consists of an oscillator (OSC) that creates the basis of the
sound, along with a lter, eects (MFX) and other components that
modify the sound. The types of oscillator, lter, and eect dier
depending on the model.
Model
A “model” is a sound engine such as that of the JUNO-106, JUNO-60 or XV-5080, which
reproduces the sound of a specic vintage synthesizer, or which oers distinctive
functionality.
The JUNO-X features numerous models. You can use a single JUNO-X as if you owned
a variety of dierent synthesizers.
Each model has distinctive parameters, eects and other elements, and you can use
these to create tones that are unique to those models.
Category
The classications of instruments or types of sounds such as “Synth Bass” or “Ensemble
Strs” are called “categories.”

OSC (Oscillator)
This section generates an audio waveform according to the pitch
information that is sent from the keyboard. The pitch is determined by
how rapidly the waveform repeats (or in other words, its frequency).
Faster repetition (higher frequency) means higher pitch, and slower
repetition (lower frequency) means lower pitch.
LFO (Low frequency oscillator)
Like the oscillator, the LFO section generates a waveform at a specied
frequency.
The LFO waveform is applied to the OSC, FILTER and AMP signal to
create various eects. For instance, you can apply an LFO to the OSC
section, to cyclically raise and lower the pitch for a vibrato eect.
MEMO
The LFO waveform can be seen in the MODEL BANK TOP screen.
4
An Overview of the JUNO-X
FILTER
Oscillator waveforms are generated using a mixture of dierent
harmonics.
The lter lets you modify the brightness of the sound by selectively
reducing these harmonics or boosting them in the region of the cuto
frequency.
By applying an LFO to the FILTER section, you can cyclically raise or
lower the cuto frequency, producing a wah eect.
AMP
The amp section controls the volume.
By applying an LFO to the AMP section, you can cyclically raise and
lower the volume, producing a tremolo eect.
ENV (Envelope)
Each time you press a key, a time-based change is applied to the OSC,
FILTER, and AMP sections for each individual note.
This shape of this time-based change is called the “envelope.”
MEMO
The envelope can be seen in the MODEL BANK TOP screen.
Part
System
You can apply system eects to the audio signal from the scene, and
output the resulting sound to an external device connected to the
OUTPUT jacks or the PHONES jacks, as well as to the speakers that are
built into the JUNO-X.
The system settings let you edit the system eects. Unlike the scene
eects, these parameters keep their settings even when you switch
scenes.
Controllers
The controllers include the keyboard, the buttons/knobs/sliders on the
panel, the pitch bend and modulation lever, the pedals connected to
the rear panel and so on.
Performance data generated when you press or release a key or press
the damper pedal is converted into MIDI messages and sent to each
part or to an external MIDI device.
Interface
This section lets you connect to an external MIDI device and transfer
audio and MIDI data, as well as transfer audio and MIDI data to other
devices connected via Bluetooth or USB.
If you connect a USB ash drive to the rear panel, you can use it to save
or load scene and tone data.
A “part” is a location to which you can recall a tone and save it together
with settings such as pan and EQ.
Each scene has ve parts: for parts 1–4 you can select a synthesizer
tone, and for part R you can select a drum kit tone.
Scene
Settings of all parts, scene eect settings, and I-Arpeggio settings can
be stored together as a “scene.”
A scene lets you store the sequence data for each part, settings for
each part (tone number, pan, volume, etc.), settings that are common
to all parts (delay, reverb, chorus, etc.), and favorite performance data.
You can prepare several scenes in which you’ve stored your favorite
settings, and then switch between your scenes to simultaneously
change a number of settings.
The JUNO-X can store 256 scenes.
I-ARPEGGIO
The I-Arpeggio function analyzes your keyboard playing and produces
an optimal arpeggio pattern.
You can create a song using the following workow:
“perform with I-Arpeggio” Ó “adjust the phrases you like with Step
Edit” Ó “import the result into your computer’s DAW as MIDI data.”

I-ARPEGGIO section
[TEMPO] (SHUFFLE) knob
You can specify the tempo of the arpeggio.
Also, you can press the [PART/FUNC] button to make it light up
blue and then turn the [TEMPO] (SHUFFLE) knob to adjust the
shue feel of the sound.
[DURATION] knob
You can specify the length during which each of the
arpeggiated notes is heard. Shortening the duration produces a

the current part.
* The [DURATION] knob changes the value for all parts at the same time.
PART [MODE] (P-STYLE) knob

(*) What is “probability”?
The probability setting changes the randomness of the notes that sound when you
are using the I-ARPEGGIO function, giving the notes a more human feel. By changing
the P-STYLE settings, you can alter the timing at which notes are played with a more
random feel; and by adjusting the P-AMOUNT setting, you can change how often
the notes play.

Specifying the Key Range
By specifying the key range, a sound that you play or an arpeggio
performance can be restricted to a specic region of keys.
For example, you could specify that the left-hand region of the
keyboard plays only the bass part, so that an arpeggiated bass
continues without being aected by what you play in the right-hand
region of the keyboard. Alternatively, you could specify fades between
multiple parts to create gradations between sounds.

The “Vocoder” adds eects to a human voice. If you run your voice
through the vocoder, you can give it a toneless, robotic tone. Control
the pitch by playing the keyboard.
* For all other model banks besides VOCODER, the mic sound is output from
the JUNO-X. When not using the mic for all other model banks besides
VOCODER, set “Mic Thru” to “OFF.”
* VOCODER models can be selected only for part 1.
1. Connect a microphone to the rear panel MIC IN jack.
NOTE
The JUNO-X supports dynamic microphones and electret
condenser microphone (plug-in power system). It does not
support condenser microphones.

Depending on the environment in which you’re performing, noise
from the surroundings might be picked up by the mic, causing the
vocoder to not work as you intend.
In this case, adjust the microphone sensitivity and the noise

CompThreshold level until compression is
no longer applied.
Species the level at which the mic
compressor starts applying compression.
Species the compression ratio for the
mic compressor.
Smooths the transition until the mic
compressor starts to be applied. Higher

Species the output volume of the mic
compressor.
Species the amount of delay that is
applied to the mic input.
Species the amount of reverb that is
applied to the mic input.
Species the amount of chorus that is
applied to the mic input.

Preventing acoustic feedback
Acoustic feedback could be produced depending on the location of
microphones relative to built-in speakers (or the external speakers).
This can be remedied by:
¹ Changing the orientation of the microphone(s).
¹ Relocating microphone(s) at a greater distance from speakers.
¹ Lowering volume levels.
Performing with a Connected Computer or Other External Device
You can connect a computer and use a plug-in synth in combination
with this unit, or use it together with a product that is compatible with
AIRA-LINK and enjoy synchronized performances.
