The Basics of the JUNO-Gi
Broadly speaking, the JUNO-Gi consists of three parts: “synthesizer,” “digital recorder,” and “USB memory song player .”
USB Memory Song Player
Synthesizer
Digital Recorder
What’s the Synthesizer? (
p. 5)
The synthesizer lets you select sounds and play them from the keyboard .
For ease of use when playing live, the sound names are shown in large characters, and dedicated buttons make it
easy to select sounds . You can choose from more than 1,000 sounds (live sets) for any musical need .
What’s the Digital Recorder? (
p. 13)
The JUNO-GI’s digital recorder can record not only the JUNO-Gi’s own performances, but also a vocal or guitar
performance . This means that you can create full-fl edged recordings without needing any other equipment .
The digital recorder has eight tracks . Each of these tracks has eight “virtual tracks” (V-tracks), and you can choose one
of these to use for recording and playback . In other words, you can use 8 x 8 = 64 tracks to record your performance,
and then choose eight of these for playback .
What’s the USB Memory Song Player? (
p. 27)
This function plays back audio fi les (MP3, WAV, AIFF) or MIDI fi les (SMF) that you’ve copied from your computer to
USB memory (sold separately); simply connect your USB memory to the JUNO-Gi, and play back . (This function
operates independently of the digital recorder .)
