Performance Mode
KBD
Parameter Value/Explanation
Kbd Switch
Specifies, for each part, whether or not the keyboard controller section will
be connected to the internal sound generator and MIDI OUT.
Normally you will leave this off; you can turn it on if you want to layer
sounds.
OFF, ON
Key Range Lower,
Upper
Specifies the lowest/highest note that the tone will sound for each part.
*
When the Key Range (p. 7) is set for each individual tone in a patch,
sounds are produced in the range where the Key Range of each tone
and the Key Range for the part overlap.

Velo Sens Offset
(
Velocity
Sensitivity Offset)
This changes the volume and cutoff frequency for each part according to
the velocity with which the keys are pressed. If you want strongly played
notes to raise the volume/cutoff frequency, set this parameter to positive
(+) settings. If you want strongly played notes to lower the volume/cutoff
frequency, use negative (-) settings. Set Velocity Sensitivity to “0” when you
want sounds played at a fixed volume and cutoff frequency, regardless of
the force with which the keys are played.
*
Patches also contain a Velocity Sensitivity Offset setting (p. 5). The
ultimate Velocity Sensitivity Offset value is the sum of the part’s and the
patch’s Velocity Sensitivity Offsets. Accordingly, if the patch’s Velocity
Sensitivity Offset is set to “127” (maximum), there will be no change in
the part’s Velocity Sensitivity Offset, even when this is set to a positive
value.
-63–+63
Voice Reserve
Specifies the number of voices that will be reserved for each part when
more than 128 voices are played simultaneously.
* It is not possible for the settings of all parts to total an amount greater
than 128.
0–63, FULL
Octave Shift
Adjusts the pitch of the part’s sound up or down in units of an octave (±3
octaves).
* Note that when a rhythm set is assigned to a part, you cannot modify
the Octave Shift.
-3–+3
Calculating the number of voices being used
The JUNO-DS is able to play up to 128 notes simultaneously.
The polyphony, or the number of voices (sounds) does not refer only to the number
of sounds actually being played, but changes according to the number of tones
used in the patches,
and the number of Waves used in the tones. The following method is used to
calculate the number of sounds used for one patch being played.
(number of sounds being Played) x (number of tones used by patches being played)
x (number of waves used in the tones) Realtime Stretch requires twice the normal
polyphony.
OFFSET
Parameter Value/Explanation
Cutoff Offset
Adjusts the cutoff frequency for the patch or rhythm set assigned to a part.
* Patches also have a Cutoff Offset setting (p. 4). The final Cutoff
frequency value is the sum of the tone Cutoff Frequency value and the
patch and part Cutoff Offset values. If the tone’s cutoff frequency is
already set to “127” (maximum), there will be no change produced by
setting the Cutoff Offset to a positive value.
-64–+63
Reso Offset
(Resonance Offset)
Adjusts the Resonance for the patch or rhythm set assigned to a part.
* Patches also have a Resonance Offset setting (p. 4). The final
Resonance value is the sum of the tone Resonance value and the patch
and part Resonance Offset values. If the tone’s resonance is already set
to “127” (maximum), there will be no change produced by setting the
resonance offset to a positive value.
-64–+63
Attack Offset
(Attack Time
Offset)
Adjusts the TVA/TVF Envelope Attack Time for the patch or drum kit
assigned to a part.
* Patches also contain the Attack Time Offset setting (p. 4). The final
TVA Envelope attack time value is therefore the sum of the tone’s TVA
Envelope Time 1 setting, the patch’s Attack Time Offset, and the part’s
Attack Time Offset. If the tone’s Time 1 is already set to “127” (maximum),
there will be no change produced by setting the Attack Time Offset to a
positive value. The same applies to the TVF envelope.
-64–+63
Decay Offset
Adjusts the TVA/TVF Envelope Decay Time for the patch or drum kit
assigned to a part.
-64–+63
Release Offset
(Release Time
Offset)
Adjusts the TVA/TVF Envelope Release Time for the patch or drum kit
assigned to a part.
* Patches also contain a Release Time Offset setting (p. 4). The final
TVA Envelope release time value is therefore the sum of the tone’s TVA
Envelope Time 4 setting, the patch’s Release Time Offset, and the part’s
Release Time Offset. If the tone’s Time 4 is set to “127” (maximum), there
will be no change in the Release Time Offset, even when this is set to a
positive value. The same applies to the TVF envelope.
-64–+63
VIBRATO
Parameter Value/Explanation
Vibrato Rate
For each part, adjust the vibrato speed (the rate at which the pitch is
modulated). The pitch will be modulated more rapidly for higher settings,
and more slowly with lower settings.
-64–+63
Vibrato Depth
For each part, this adjusts the depth of the vibrato effect (the depth at
which the pitch is modulated). The pitch will be modulated more greatly
for higher settings, and less with lower settings.
-64–+63
Vibrato Delay
For each part, this adjusts the time delay until the vibrato (pitch
modulation) effect begins. Higher settings will produce a longer delay
time before vibrato begins, while lower settings produce a shorter time.
-64–+63
SCALE
Parameter Value/Explanation
C–B
Make scale tune settings for each part.
-64–+63
Equal Temperament
This tuning divides the octave into 12 equal parts, and is the most widely used
method of temperament used in Western music.
Just Temperament (Tonic of C)
Compared with equal temperament, the principle triads sound pure in this
tuning. However, this effect is achieved only in one key, and the triads will become
ambiguous if you transpose.
Arabian Scale
In this scale, E and B are a quarter note lower and C
¾
, F
¾
and G
¾
are a quarter-note
higher compared to equal temperament. The intervals between G and B, C and E, F
and G
¾
, B
²
and C
¾
, and E
²
and F
¾
have a natural third—the interval between a major
third and a minor third. On the JUNO-DS, you can use Arabian temperament in the
three keys of G, C and F.

MIDI
Parameter Value/Explanation
PC–HOLD
For each MIDI channel, specify whether MIDI messages will be received
(ON), or not (OFF). Assigning a check mark (

) will enable reception.

VERO CRV
Selects Velocity Curve for each MIDI channel one of the four following
Velocity Curve types that best matches the touch of the connected MIDI
keyboard.
Set this to “OFF” if you are using the MIDI keyboard’s own velocity curve.
OFF, 1–4
PHASELOCK
Set PHASELOCK to “ON” when you want to suppress discrepancies in
timing of parts played on the same MIDI channel.
* When the PHASELOCK is set to “ON,” parts on the same MIDI channel
are put in a condition in which their timing is matched, enabling them
to be played at the same time. Accordingly, a certain amount of time
may elapse between reception of the Note messages and playing of the
sounds. Turn this setting to “ON” only as needed.
OFF, ON
