Overview of the JUNO-Gi Broadly speaking, the JUNO-Gi consists of three sections: “Synthesizer,” “Digital Recorder,” and “USB Memory Song Player .” The explanations in this manual are also organized according to these sections . You can use the index tabs at the right edge of each page to jump to the section you want to read . USB.Memory Song.Player Synthesizer About the Synthesizer Digital.Recorder What is a Split? The synthesizer section lets you select sounds and play them from the keyboard .
About the Digital Recorder About the Recorder Tempo The digital recorder provides eight tracks . Each track consists of eight virtual tracks (V-tracks), and you can select one of these V-tracks for playback and recording . In other words, you can use 8 x 8 = 64 tracks to record your performance, and choose eight of these for playback . The USB Memory Song Player plays back audio files (WAV, MP3, AIFF) or Standard MIDI Files (SMF) that you’ve copied from your computer to USB memory . Copy.to.USB.

Chorus Parameters NOTE If you specify the delay time as a note value, slowing down the tempo will not change the delay time beyond a certain length. This is because there is an upper limit for the delay time; if the delay time is specified as a note value and you slow down the tempo until this upper limit is reached, the delay time cannot change any further. This upper limit is the maximum value that can be specified when setting the delay time as a numerical value.
Reverb Parameters These settings allow you to select the desired type of reverb, and its characteristics. Value LF Damp Freq 50–4000 Hz Adjusts the frequency below which the low-frequency content of the reverb sound will be reduced, or “damped.” LF Damp Gain -36–0 dB Adjusts the amount of damping applied to the frequency range selected with LF Damp. With a setting of “0,” there will be no reduction of the reverb’s low-frequency content.
