Parameter Explanation
Local Switch
Turns the Local switch on/off when in DAW Control mode.
If you’re using a DAW software with the JUNO-DS’s keyboard controller
section and sound generator section, you should turn the Local Switch “OFF.”
Here’s why.
We need to connect these sections in the following order: the JUNO-DS’s
keyboard a DAW software the JUNO-DS’s sound generator. Since the
JUNO-DS’s keyboard section and sound generator section are connected
internally, such a connection order would normally be impossible. However,
if the Local Switch is “OFF,” the JUNO-DS’s keyboard section and its sound
generator section will be independent, allowing you to use a DAW software
as shown here in the illustration.
