Press [SOLO SYNTH], [ACTIVE EXPRESS], or [ASSIGNABLE] so it is lit.
If you select [ASSIGNABLE], the function assigned to the D Beam controller will appear in the display.

fig.q05-13_40

JUNO-D_e.book 32
While playing the keyboard to produce sound, place your hand over the D Beam, and slowly move it up and down.
An effect will be applied to the sound, depending on the function that is assigned to the D Beam controller.
To turn off the D Beam controller, press the button once again to turn it off.
The usable range of the D Beam controller
The following diagram shows the usable range of the D Beam controller. Waving your hand outside this range will produce no effect.

fig.q05-14

Either [SOLO SYNTH], [ACTIVE EXPRESS], or [ASSIGNABLE] will blink while the D Beam controller is responding. When your hand leaves the usable range of the D Beam controller, the button will stop blinking, and will remain lit. * The sensitivity of the D Beam controller will change depending on the amount of light in the vicinity of the unit. If it does not function as you expect, adjust the sensitivity as appropriate for the brightness of your location (p. 34). Also, the usable range of the D Beam controller will become extremely small when used under strong direct sunlight. Please be aware of this when using the D Beam controller outside.
Effects that can be used with the D Beam controller

SOLO SYNTH

This lets you generate passages that sound as if you are playing the keyboard rapidly. For example, if you hold down the four notes C, D, E, and G with your right hand and move your left hand over the D Beam, a phrase such as C D E G C D E G. will be repeated. For example, you can use the D Beam to play a synth solo on a synth-lead type sound, and hold chords using a long, sustaining sound to create the impression of harp playing. The chord memory function also provides a chord set that contain notes of a specific scale and is designed for use with this function (16. Scale Set).
The explanations of each type in this manual are for when the D Beam Polarity is set to NORMAL (p. 34).
With [SOLO SYNTH] switched on, pressing the keyboard alone will not result in the production of sound. You need to move your hand over the D Beam while you hold down keys.
ACTIVE EXPRESS (Active Expression)
You can use the D Beam to add expression to your playing by varying the volume (Expression). If you set Active Expression Switch (p. 46) to ON for a patch whose [KEY MODE] is set to DUAL (p. 44), this function will control the balance of the two tones (Active Expression). When you use active expression, only the upper tone will be heard at softer volumes; the lower tone will be added as the volume increases. * After you have used the D Beam to control expression the volume will be at 0, so no sound will be heard when you play the keyboard. To return to the normal state in which the sound can be heard, either press [ACTIVE EXPRESS] and turn off its illumination, or switch patches.

Performance

A performance is a set of sounds containing patches for the sixteen parts used when you use the Rhythm Guide or when using the JUNO-D with an external MIDI device.
Classification of JUNO-D sound types
When using the JUNO-D, you will notice that a variety of different categories come into play when working with sounds. What follows is a simple explanation of each sound category.
A part corresponds to a single musician in a band or orchestra. Since the JUNO-D has sixteen parts, you can use sixteen different patches or rhythm sets to play as many as sixteen performances simultaneously.
On the JUNO-D, the tones are the smallest unit of sound. However, it is not possible to play a tone by itself. The patch is the unit of sound that can be played, and the tones are the basic building blocks that make up the patch.

fig.r01-02.e

Current part
The current part is the part that will sound when you play the keyboard. The JUNO-D has a total of sixteen parts. For details on how to switch the current part, refer to Selecting a part (p. 43).

JUNO-D_e.book 41

Effects
Effects let you apply a variety of special effects to patches or rhythm sets. You can use three effects simultaneously: chorus (which adds depth and spaciousness), reverb (which adds reverberation), multi-effects (each selectable from 47 types such as equalizer, overdrive, and delay).

Temporary memory

Temporary area
This is the area that holds the data for the patch or the like that youve selected using the panel buttons. When you play the keyboard or play back an external sequence, sound is produced based on data in the temporary area. When you edit a patch, you do not directly modify the data in memory; rather, you call up the data into the temporary area, and edit it there. Settings in the temporary area are temporary, and will be lost when the power is turned off or when you select another setting. To keep the settings you have modified, you must write them into rewritable memory.

Coarse Tune

Adjusts the pitch of the tones sound up or down in semitone steps (+/-4 octaves). VALUE: -48+48
ExpressionDst (Expression Destination)
Specifies the tone that will be affected by expression. VALUE UPPER: LOWER: BOTH: Expression will apply only to the upper tone. Expression will apply only to the lower tone. Expression will apply to both the upper and lower tone.

JUNO-D_e.book 47

Fine Tune
Adjusts the pitch of the tones sound up or down in one-cent steps (+/- 50 cents). VALUE: -50+50
Adjusting the modulation of the sound (LFO)
One cent is 1/100th of a semitone.
The LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) applies cyclic change to the sound. It can be applied to the pitch, cutoff frequency, or volume to produce vibrato, wah, or tremolo effects. The original tones of the JUNO-D contain LFO settings appropriate for each sound. You can edit the patches to adjust the speed of the LFO effect, and the depth to which it will affect the pitch and filter cutoff frequency.
Creating smooth pitch transitions (Portamento)
You cannot simultaneously adjust the pitch depth and cutoff depth. Nor can you adjust the depth of the LFO effect on volume. If you need to use an adjustable tremolo effect, use the TREMOLO multi-effect (p. 84).
Portamento is an effect that creates a smooth transition in pitch between one key and the next. When the Solo Switch parameter is ON, you can apply portamento to create an effect similar to a violinist changing the pitch smoothly by sliding their finger along the fingerboard.
Portamento Sw (Portamento Switch)
Specifies whether the portamento effect will be applied (ON) or not (OFF). VALUE: OFF, ON
Filter LFO (Filter LFO Switch)
Selects whether the LFO Depth setting will control the depth of cutoff frequency modulation or of pitch modulation. This is linked with the operation of the [FILTER LFO] switch of the panel (p. 27). VALUE OFF (PCH): ON (FLT): You can adjust the depth of the LFOs effect on pitch. You can adjust the depth of the LFOs effect on the filter cutoff frequency.

Patch Mode

Portamento Time
When portamento is used, this specifies the time over which the pitch will change. Higher settings will cause the pitch change to the next note to take more time. VALUE: 0127

Recording

Recording the performances settings at the beginning of the song
First, record the Performance settings at the beginning of the song. If this is done, playing back the song from the beginning will automatically set the JUNO-D to the Performance settings that were used during recording (regardless of the Performance that was selected when playback began), ensuring that playback will use the correct sounds and settings. * Record the song at the tempo at which it is to be played back. If the tempo used for playback of a song is changed from the tempo selected at the time of recording, the JUNO-D may not be able to correctly receive the settings for the recorded Performance, which may prevent proper playback of the performance data.
Listening to the recorded performance
When you finish recording all Parts, play it back and listen to the result. Note the following when playing back a song. * If you modify the settings of each Part (volume, panning, etc.), you will need to re-record the modified performance settings at the beginning of the song.
Set the Rx Sys Exc (System Exclusive Receive Switch) to ON (p. 90)

Using the JUNO-D as a General MIDI/General MIDI 2 system-compatible sound module

Are the Reverb settings correct?
Check the Reverb Level (p. 87) and Reverb Send Level (p. 46, p. 58) settings.
Are the Chorus or Reverb settings for the rhythm set correct?
Check the Chorus Send Level (p. 53) and Reverb Send Level (p. 53) settings for each note of the rhythm set.
Is any Multi-Effects switch set to BYPASS?
Set the Multi-Effects switch for the part being used to ON (p. 46, p. 58).
Are the Multi-Effects Source setting correct? (p. 56) Is the Clock Source set to MIDI?
If you set the clock source (p. 89) to MIDI, some of the effects that are synchronized with the tempo will not work. Set the clock source to INT except when you want to synchronize the JUNO-D with an external MIDI device.
Delete unneeded note data or knob data from the song.
Is the Tone Delay time value set to the note?
There is a maximum permissible value for the Delay Time parameter for such as 17: St DELAY. So, if the time setting is specified in terms of a note value, and the tempo is slowed down, this maximum permissible value will be reached, and it cannot be increased further. The upper time limit for each is the maximum value that can be set other than the numerical value for the beat.
Song data cannot be played back correctly
Did you start playback at some point other than the beginning of the song?
Songs meant for playback with General MIDI System and General MIDI 2 System sound generators have a GM/GM2 System On message recorded at the beginning of the song. If this message is not received, the song data may not play back correctly.
Effect control does not work
If you are using the [C1]/[C2]/[C3] knobs in Performance mode to control MFX PARAMETER settings, the MFX Source (p. 56) setting will determine the part whose effect will be controlled. If MFX Source is set to Part116, the effect of that part will be controlled. If MFX Source is set to PERFORM, the System Perform Ctrl Ch (Performance Control Channel) (p. 90) setting will determine the part whose effect will be controlled. If this setting is OFF, no effect will be controlled.
Are you playing back data whose format is something other than General MIDI 2 or General MIDI?
The sound generator of the JUNO-D conforms to General MIDI 2 system. It is not compatible with song data that uses formats other than General MIDI 2 or General MIDI.

Is the MIDI clock not being received when Clock Source (p. 89) is set to MIDI?
Set the system so that the MIDI clock is received from the external MIDI device. Certain MIDI devices you may have connected may not send the MIDI clock to the JUNO-D except during recording or playback.
Using sequencer software, modulation lever and knob movements have no effect on the sound
