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 filter, effects (MFX) and other components that modify the sound. The types of oscillator, filter, and effect differ 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 specific vintage synthesizer, or which offers distinctive functionality.

The JUNO-X features numerous models. You can use a single JUNO-X as if you owned a variety of different synthesizers.

Each model has distinctive parameters, effects and other elements, and you can use these to create tones that are unique to those models.

Category

The classifications 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 specified frequency.

The LFO waveform is applied to the OSC, FILTER and AMP signal to create various effects. For instance, you can apply an LFO to the OSC section, to cyclically raise and lower the pitch for a vibrato effect.

MEMO

The LFO waveform can be seen in the MODEL BANK TOP screen.

An Overview of the JUNO-X

FILTER

Oscillator waveforms are generated using a mixture of different harmonics.

The filter lets you modify the brightness of the sound by selectively reducing these harmonics or boosting them in the region of the cutoff frequency.

By applying an LFO to the FILTER section, you can cyclically raise or lower the cutoff frequency, producing a wah effect.

System

You can apply system effects 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 effects. Unlike the scene effects, these parameters keep their settings even when you switch scenes.

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 effect.

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.

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

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 five parts: for parts 1–4 you can select a synthesizer tone, and for part R you can select a drum kit tone.

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 flash drive to the rear panel, you can use it to save or load scene and tone data.

Scene

Settings of all parts, scene effect 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 workflow:

“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.”

Switches the noise suppressor on/off.

The noise suppressor is a function that suppresses noise during periods of silence.

Adjusts the volume at which noise suppression starts to be applied.

Adjusts the time from when noise suppression starts until the volume reaches 0.

Specifies whether the mic compressor (a compressor applied to the mic input) is used (ON) or not used (OFF).

Specifies the time from when the input to the mic compressor exceeds the

CompThreshold level until the volume is compressed.

Specifies the time from when the input to the mic compressor falls below the

CompThreshold level until compression is no longer applied.

Specifies the level at which the mic compressor starts applying compression.

Specifies the compression ratio for the mic compressor.

Smooths the transition until the mic compressor starts to be applied. Higher values produce a smoother transition.

Specifies the output volume of the mic compressor.

Specifies the amount of delay that is applied to the mic input.

Specifies the amount of reverb that is applied to the mic input.

Specifies the amount of chorus that is applied to the mic input.

If you want the mic to be cut when the vocoder is off, turn this “OFF.”





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.

Adjusting the Mic

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 suppressor (NS) settings, so that it is less likely to pickup noise.

5 . Use the [STYLE] (P-AMOUNT) knob to change the style (the pattern variations) of the arpeggio you’re hearing .

* When the MODE is set to “I-ARP,” the change in style is reflected once you play the keyboard again.

The arpeggio performance based on the keys you play changes according to the selected style.

For details, refer to “Parameter Guide” (PDF).

MEMO

By setting the mode and style for other parts besides the currently selected part, you can make arpeggios play at the same time for multiple parts. Select the part to use by pressing the [PART/FUNC] button and then use the PART/OSC SELECT buttons.

6 . Press the I-ARPEGGIO [ON] button again to stop the arpeggio and turn it off .

Other Operation

Specifying the arpeggio tempo

(TEMPO)

You can specify the tempo of the arpeggio. Depending on the sound,

LFO or DELAY can also synchronize to the tempo.

Adjusting the amount of shuffle

(SHUFFLE)

By varying the timing at which notes are sounded, you can create a shuffle rhythm.

When this setting is in the center position, notes are sounded at equal spacing. Increasing the value adds a shuffle feel like a dotted-note rhythm.

* When you press the [PART/FUNC] button to make it light up blue and then operate the [TEMPO] (SHUFFLE) knob, the shuffle setting changes for all parts at the same time. (ARP COMMON > G-Shuffle)

Changing the duration of the notes

(DURATION)

You can specify the length during which each of the arpeggiated notes is heard. Shortening the duration produces a staccato feel, and lengthening the duration produces a tenuto feel.

* When you use the [DURATION] knob, the duration for all parts changes at the same time. (ARP COMMON > G-Duration)

Varying the arpeggio automatically

(PLAY DETECTOR)

Play Detector is a function that detects your keyboard playing and varies the arpeggio in real time.

* If both PLAY DETECTOR KEYS and BEAT are turned “OFF,” the current loop performance will repeat. This is useful when you want to continue playing for a while with the same accompaniment.

Varying the arpeggio according to the harmony you play

(PLAY DETECTOR KEYS)

When this is “ON,” the arpeggio chords change according to the chords you play on the keyboard.

* If you want to layer your keyboard performance without changing the chord, turn PLAY DETECTOR KEYS off.

Varying the arpeggio according to the timing of your performance

(PLAY DETECTOR BEAT)

When this is “ON,” the pattern switches according to the rhythm, which is detected from the intervals between the notes you play on the keyboard.

* Even if BEAT is off, the keyboard pitches are detected. If you want to maintain the sense of beat while you play a chord progression, turn PLAY

DETECTOR BEAT off.

I-ARPEGGIO

Selecting the arpeggio type

(ARP COMMON > TYPE)

This changes the arpeggio settings for parts 1–4 at the same time.

Depending on the type, only one part might sound, or multiple parts might sound as an ensemble.

Select the type that is closest to the arpeggio that you have in mind, and then edit the sounds and parameters to bring it closer to your preferences.

* With the factory settings, changing the type causes the parts whose

Keyboard Sw is “OFF” to be assigned a sound (TONE) and volume (PART

LEVEL) at the same time. If you want to change only the phrase while preserving the current sound settings, set the system parameter Arpeggio

Set Tone to OFF.

Editing the probability styles

(*1) (P-STYLE)

This determines whether each note to be played in the arpeggio should sound or not (the probability), and changes the arpeggio performance accordingly.

By changing the styles, you can change the note positions to which probability is applied.

When the arpeggiator normally plays, the same phrase is played over and over. However, by setting the probability, you can change the performance over time to create spontaneous phrases.

Selecting the rhythm type

(ARP COMMON > RHYTHM)

You can change the phrase that is played by part R, which is the rhythm part.

Select a rhythm that is closest to what you have in mind, and then edit the tempo, drum kit, and the various parameters to bring it closer to your preferences.

* With the factory settings, changing the rhythm causes a suitable tempo

(TEMPO), sound (DRUM KIT) and volume (PART LEVEL) to be specified. If you want to change only the phrase while preserving the current tempo and sound settings, set the SYSTEM parameters Arpeggio Set Tempo and

Arpeggio Set Drum kit respectively OFF.

Editing the probability strength

(*2) (P-AMOUNT)

This sets how much change is caused by the probability effect.

A 100% setting generates the original arpeggio phrase; and the closer the setting gets to 0%, the fewer the notes that play.

Arpeggio phrases

Probability style (*1)

(The notes corresponding to the steps in the positions marked with a dot always play. The notes corresponding to the steps in the positions marked with a dash either play or not, depending on the probability ratio set in Amount.)

Example of arpeggio phrase with probability applied (*2)

(This example is with the Amount set to 50%. Notes in the positions marked with a dash play only 50% of the time.)

All notes always play back

Fewer notes play back, according to the probability ratio

* The phrase that plays back changes each time, based on the probability “Amount” setting.

I-ARPEGGIO

Using the Step Edit Function

The JUNO-X lets you edit arpeggio performance data using the TR-REC input method.

What is TR-REC?

TR-REC is a method in which you use the [1]–[16] buttons to specify the timing at which each key plays a note.

You can use it while listening to a rhythm that you created.

For example to create the drum pattern shown in figure 1, you would make the settings shown in figure 2.

If the Keyboard Does Not Play Sound

Here we explain situations in which playing the keyboard does not produce sound properly even though the KEYBOARD SW is on.

01

When I-ARPEGGIO is on, and “ARP PART EDIT:

Switch” is ON

This part is played by the arpeggio, and cannot be played from the keyboard.

To play it from the keyboard, set “ARP PART EDIT: Switch” to “OFF.”

02

When one of the ASSIGN settings in SCENE

COMMON EDIT is PART FADE1/PART FADE2

The volume of parts whose Keyboard Sw is on is controlled by the controller that is assigned to PART FADE1/PART FADE2, so sound might not be heard depending on the setting of the controller.

If you want to always play the corresponding part from the keyboard, assign all of the SL1, SL2, and Ctrl settings to something other than

PART FADE1/PART FADE2.

Alternatively, if only one Keyboard Sw is on, the PART FADE effect is disabled, and you can play just the corresponding part.

03

When Part Sw is off

You can switch the parts on/off when the [PART/FUNC] button is lit up yellow, by holding down the [SHIFT] button and pressing the PART/

OSC ON [1]–[R] buttons ([9]–[13] buttons).

If you accidentally turn this off, the corresponding part won’t produce sound.

Normally you’ll leave all Part Sw settings on.

04

If a volume or similar setting is lowered

Playing a Pattern You Entered

The data that you edit in STEP EDIT can actually be used for arpeggio performance.


2 . Use the [ Ç SELECT É ] knob to select “ARPEGGIO EDIT,” and then press the [ENTER] (INIT) button .

The ARP PART EDIT screen appears.

3 . Use the [ Ç SELECT É ] knob to select “Arp Mode” and use the [- VALUE +] knob to change the setting to

“STEP .”

MEMO

To make the pitch change according to what you play on the keyboard, set “Step Key Shift” to “ON.”

The corresponding part will not be heard if one of the volume settings is lowered.

There are many parameters related to volume. To restore the sound so that it plays normally, switch to a different scene to clear out the settings. In this case, the current scene settings will be lost, so save the scene before you try this.

Q&A

Overall / System

01

Does the sound change as on an analog synthesizer according to temperature and the passage of time?

Yes.

If the Aging function is “ON,” an internal temperature sensor is used to apply change to some synthesizer sounds (sounds for which the

TONE parameter Pitch Drift is specified), simulating the way in which temperature variation and the passage of time after startup can affect the sound of an analog synthesizer.

Turn the Aging function “ON” as described below, and notice how the sound changes.



3 . Use the [ Ç SELECT É ] knob to select “Warm-up,” and use the [- VALUE +] knob to select either “ON” or

“FAST .”

ON

FAST

Simulation is on. The status of Pitch Drift will change in approximately ten minutes, and will subsequently stabilize at the value of the TONE setting Pitch Drift.

This mode shortens the change of the ON setting to approximately ten seconds, allowing you to hear the effect of Pitch Drift.

FIXED

The internal temperature is fixed at the value specified by Init Temp, and the character of the sound at that point is maintained.


(WRITE) button to save the edited settings .

02

Can the internal speaker be turned off at all times?

Yes.

Use the following procedure to turn the internal speaker “OFF.”



3 . Use the [ Ç SELECT É ] knob to select “Speaker Sw,” and use the [- VALUE +] knob to specify “OFF .”

Q&A

06

Are Bluetooth earphones or headphones supported?

No, they are not supported.

07

Can I specify a MIDI channel for each part?

Yes.

The MIDI channel is specified by the “Rx Ch” parameter in the SCENE

PART EDIT screen for each part.

Operation

08

Why do the panel knobs and buttons work sometimes and not at other times?

The parameters are different for each model, so there are cases in which a controller has no parameter. Since the controllers without a parameter differ between models, a controller might or might not have an effect.

The parameter that is controlled by each knob or button will differ depending on the model used by the tone that’s assigned to the current part (the currently selected part).

Q&A

Sound Module

15

What is the meaning of “MODEL” in a model bank?

A model is a sound engine that reproduces the sounds and parameter changes of famous vintage analog synthesizers and other historical instruments. Some models provide not only the sounds that were found on the original, but also newly re-created sounds.

16

What varieties of “MODEL” are provided?

Six types are provided: JUNO-X, JUNO-106, JUNO-60, XV-5080, RD-

PIANO, and VOCODER.

17

Can a model be used with more than one part?

This depends on the model.

“VOCODER” can be used only with part 1.

Other models can be used with parts 1–4.

18

Can a drum kit be used with any part?

No, a drum kit can be used only with part R.

It cannot be used with parts 1–4.

19

Is the unit equipped with a vocoder?

Yes, it is.

To use the vocoder, proceed as follows (with the factory settings).

1 . Connect a dynamic microphone or an electret condenser microphone to the rear panel MIC IN jack .

2 . Use the rear panel MIC IN [GAIN] knob to adjust the volume .

3 . Select part 1, and then press the [MODEL BANK] button to make it light .

4 . Press the [MODEL BANK] button and then press button [6] .

* With the factory settings, “VOCODER” is assigned to the model bank of the [6] button.

You can change the model bank that is assigned.

Ø

“Registering to a model bank” (p. 14)

5 . Use the [- VALUE +] knob to select a vocoder sound

(two types) .

6 . While playing the keyboard, vocalize into the microphone .

The vocoder effect is applied.

* Phantom-powered condenser microphones are not supported.

20

Can I input audio playback from my computer instead of audio from the mic input, and apply the vocoder?

Yes, you can.

1 . Connect the JUNO-X with your computer via USB .

2 . Choose “OUT MIC” as the audio output device of your computer .

Now the audio playback of your computer can be used for vocoder performance.

21

What is the maximum simultaneous polyphony?

It differs depending on the type and combination of models.

The JUNO-X model has a maximum polyphony of 16 notes. Note that the polyphony is reduced if you are using multiple parts at the same time.

In the case of PCM sounds, up to 256 notes (for MONO) can be produced.

22

Can I edit from the initialized sound of a model?

Yes.

Initialize the tone as follows.

1 . Select the tone to initialize, hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the [ENTER] (INIT) button .

2 . Use the [ Ç SELECT É ] knob to select “TONE .”


The message “INITIALIZE TONE Are you sure?” appears.

4 . Press the [ENTER] (INIT) button to initialize the tone .

* The initialized sound and settings differ depending on the model.

* Depending on the scene settings, the sound of multiple parts might be layered, or the part parameter settings might not produce the sound that you expect. In this case, you should first initialize the scene before initializing the tone.

23

What is the difference between the VINTAGE

FILTER [R] [M] [S] buttons?

[R]

[M] [S]

This is the filter of the original Roland model, and is selected by default.

These model the filters of vintage synthesizers made by other companies.

When a vintage type model is selected, you can use the VINTAGE

FILTER [R] [M] [S] buttons to change the filter type.

53

Q&A

Effects

24

Which parameters are associated with the knobs of the effect section?

This varies depending on settings such as SCENE PART EDIT: Output and SCENE PART MFX: FllwToneMFX.

The easiest way to find the associated parameter is to hold down the

[SHIFT] button and operate the corresponding button, so that the associated parameter screen appears.

Arpeggio

25

What is the I-Arpeggio function?

28

Can I edit the I-Arpeggio pattern data?

I-Arpeggio is a new type of arpeggiator in which built-in AI analyzes your keyboard performance and switches to the optimal arpeggio pattern in real time.

It differs from conventional arpeggiators in the following ways.

¹ It allows multi-part performance, and lets you freely specify the parts to play manually and the parts played by the arpeggiator.

¹ You can enable or disable change by turning the PLAY DETECTOR [KEYS] and

[BEAT] buttons on/off.

26

How do I use the PLAY DETECTOR [KEYS] button and [BEAT] button?

[KEYS] button

This specifies whether the constituent notes of the arpeggio performance will change according to your keyboard playing.

For example, if you want the constituent notes that you’ve once specified from the keyboard to remain the same while you add additional notes from your keyboard performance, turn the [KEYS] button off.

[BEAT] button

This specifies whether your performance will affect the arpeggio pattern.

For example, if you want to change the chord without changing the performance pattern, turn the [BEAT] button off and the [KEYS] button on.

If KEYS and BEAT are both off, the current arpeggio performance is kept. You can freely solo on the keyboard while that accompaniment remains fixed.

27

Can I mute a part while the arpeggio is playing?

Yes.

1 . With the [PART/FUNC] button lit, hold down the

[SHIFT] button and press the PART/OSC ON [1]–[R] buttons for the part(s) that you want to mute .

The switches of each part can be turned on/off.

For example, you can temporarily mute just the drum sound while you’re playing (hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the PART/OSC ON [R] button).

By editing the SYSTEM parameter “PART Btn Asgn,” you can customize the function of the buttons for part select mode.

Ø

“Assigning Functions to the [4]–[13] Buttons” (p. 15)

No, it is not possible to edit the I-Arpeggio pattern data itself.

A pattern that you entered using STEP EDIT can be used as part of an

I-Arpeggio. In this case, however, it is used as fixed pattern data, and does not change according to the performance.

29

Can I record or edit the I-Arpeggio performance?

You can edit it.

Each cycle of the arpeggio performance is always recorded internally, and can be accessed and edited by the STEP EDIT function. The edited pattern can be used as an arpeggio user pattern, or used as MIDI data in your DAW software.

30

Can I use STEP EDIT to change the number of recorded steps for the arpeggio performance?

Yes.

Change the necessary parameter settings as follows.

1 . Press the [STEP EDIT] button .

2 . Turn the [ Ç SELECT É ] knob while holding down the

[SHIFT] button to edit the Grid Length .

31

When I copy in the Copy I-Arp screen, parts that don’t play are sometimes recorded.

If in SCENE EDIT COMMON, any one of the ASSIGN parameters SL1,

SL2, or Ctrl are assigned to “PART FADE1” or “PART FADE2,” a part whose volume was too small to hear might be played in STEP EDIT.

In this case, delete the STEP data of the unwanted part.

54

32

Can I prevent the I-Arpeggio TYPE and RHYTHM from changing the sound or tempo?

Yes.

Proceed as follows.


2 . Select “SYSTEM,” and then press the [ENTER] (INIT) button .

3 . Use the [ Ç SELECT É ] knob to select the following

ARPEGGIO parameters, and use the [- VALUE +] knob to turn each “OFF .”

5 . When the screen asks, “SYSTEM WRITE Are you sure?,” press the [ENTER] (INIT) button .

The screen indicates “Now writing...,” and you return to the

SYSTEM setting screen.

33

Can the I-Arpeggio synchronize with the tempo of an external sequencer?

Yes.

In SYSTEM settings, set the TEMPO/SYNC parameters as appropriate for your situation.


34

Can I connect an external MIDI keyboard and use it for keyboard performance with

I-Arpeggio?

Yes.

Make remote keyboard settings as follows.


2 . Select “SYSTEM,” and then press the [ENTER] (INIT) button .

3 . Use the [ Ç SELECT É ] knob to select “MIDI: Remote

Kbd .”

4 . Use the [- VALUE +] knob to select the connector/port to which you connect your external MIDI keyboard .

You can select “MIDI IN,” “USB COM” or “USB MEM .”


6 . When the screen asks, “SYSTEM WRITE Are you sure?,” press the [ENTER] (INIT) button .

The screen indicates “Now writing...,” and you return to the

SYSTEM setting screen.
