SOUND MODULE Owner’s Manual

English In order to use this device correctly, please carefully read “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” and “IMPORTANT NOTES” (the “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” leaflet) before use.

After reading, keep these instructions at hand for immediate reference.

Introduction

The JU-06 is a sound module that can be used in conjunction with the K-25m keyboard unit (sold separately).

The sound can be heard through the built-in speakers.

* The JU-06 can operate on batteries or on USB bus power. If you are using batteries, insert four AA batteries, making sure that the batteries are oriented correctly.

* 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.

* When the batteries run low, the LED above the Ribbon Controller C1 ( 2 ) blinks. Install new batteries.

Using the JU-06 in conjunction with the K-25m keyboard unit (sold separately)

& For installation, refer to the K-25m’s Owner’s Manual.

Playing the JU-06 via MIDI or USB

You can also play the JU-06 via MIDI or USB.

Turning the Power On

G

[POWER] switch

This turns the power on/off.

* After you’ve made connections correctly, be sure to turn on the power in the order of the JU-06 first, and

then the connected system. Powering-on in the incorrect order may cause malfunctions or damage. When turning the power off, power-off the connected system first, and then the JU-06.

* 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.

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

Ribbon controller (C1/C2)

These are touch-type ribbon controllers. C1 (left) is pitch bend, and C2 (right) is modulation.

* If a K-25m keyboard unit, USB, or MIDI are not connected, touching the C1 controller plays a preview sound.

3

LFO

Here you can create cyclic change (modulation) in the sound.

Controller

[RATE] slider

[DELAY TIME] slider

Explanation

Determines the speed of the LFO.

Specifies the time from when the tone sounds until the LFO reaches its maximum amplitude.

4

DCO

Here you can select the waveform that determines the character of the sound, and specify its pitch.

Explanation Controller

RANGE [16] [8] [4] buttons

[LFO] slider

Specifies the octave of the oscillator.

Allows the LFO to modulate the pitch, producing a vibrato effect.

When the [LFO/MAN] switch is “MAN” (MANUAL):

Adjusts the value of the pulse width.

[PWM] slider

[LFO/MAN] switch

[ ] button

[ ] button

[SUB] slider

[NOISE] slider

When the [LFO/MAN] switch is “LFO”:

Adjusts the modulation depth.

What is “Pulse Width”?

Pulse width is the amount of the upper portion of the pulse wave, expressed as a percentage of the overall wavelength. If the upper and lower widths are not the same, the waveform is called an asymmetric pulse wave.

Selects whether the pulse width value is a fixed value specified manually by the [PWM] slider (MAN) or is varied by the 3 LFO (LFO).

Selects the waveform that is the basis of the sound.

(Square wave/Asymmetrical pulse wave), (Sawtooth wave)

Adjusts the volume of the sub oscillator.

Adjusts the volume of the noise.

5

HPF

This is a high-pass filter that passes the high frequencies and cuts the low frequencies.

Controller

[FREQ] slider

Explanation

Specifies the cutoff frequency of the high-pass filter. Frequency components below the cutoff frequency are cut.

6

VCF

This is a low-pass filter that passes the low frequencies and cuts the high frequencies.

Controller

[FREQ] slider

[RES] slider

[ ] switch

[ENV] slider

Explanation

Specifies the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter. Frequency components above the cutoff frequency are cut, making the sound mellower.

Resonance boosts the sound in the region of the filter’s cutoff frequency.

Higher settings produce stronger emphasis, creating a distinctively “synthesizer-like” sound.

Selects the polarity (direction) of the envelope.

Adjusts the depth by which the 8 ENV (envelope) controls the cutoff frequency.

[LFO] slider

[KYBD] slider

Uses the 3 LFO to vary the cutoff frequency.

Adjusts the way in which the pitch of the note affects the cutoff frequency (key follow) when using the keyboard to control cutoff frequency. Moving the slider downward causes the cutoff frequency to fall as you play higher on the keyboard.

Step Sequencer

The step sequencer lets you input a note at each of up to 16 steps, and play back the notes as a loop.

You can change the number of steps between 1 and 16. Up to 16 patterns can be stored.
