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.
* Use USB Flash Memory sold by Roland. We
cannot guarantee operation if other products
are used.
* 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.

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” (leaet “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.

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.
Eects
MFX (Multi eects) Provides 80 types of eect, such as distortion and anger.
Chorus/Reverb
* MFX and chorus/reverb can have dierent 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 eects. Each
dierent key (note number) plays a dierent percussion instrument or sound eect.
Sample
These are sounds created by Sample Import (p. 9).
Performance
A performance lets you assign a dierent patch, drum kit, or sample to each of 16
parts, allowing you to use 16 dierent sounds simultaneously.
The following settings are also saved as performance settings.
SPLIT Use dierent 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
eects 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.

* 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.
