Parameter Value Explanation
Mono/Poly
MONO, POLY, PAT
Set this parameter to “MONO” when the patch assigned to the part is to be played
monophonically, or to “POLY” when the patch is to be played polyphonically. If you want to use
the Mono/Poly setting of the patch assigned to the part (p. 101), set this to “PAT.”
* This setting is ignored for parts to which a rhythm set is assigned.
Legato OFF, ON, PAT
You can add legato when performing monophonically. The term “legato” refers to a playing style
in which notes are smoothly connected to create a flowing feel. This creates a smooth transition
between notes, which is effective when you wish to simulate the hammering-on and pulling-off
techniques used by a guitarist.
Turn this parameter “ON” when you want to use the Legato feature and “OFF” when you don’t.
If you want to use the Legato Switch setting of the patch assigned to the part (p. 101), set this
to “PAT.”
* This setting is ignored for parts to which a rhythm set is assigned.
Portament OFF, ON, PAT
Specify whether portamento will be applied.
Turn this parameter “ON” when you want to apply Portamento and “OFF” when you don’t. If
you want to use the Portamento Switch setting of the patch assigned to the part (p. 101), set
this to “PAT.”
Time 0–127, PAT
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. If you want to
use the Portamento Time setting of the patch assigned to the part (p. 101), set this to “PAT.”

Make scale tune settings for each part.
Scale Tune is switched on/off by means of the Scale Tune Switch parameter (p. 146).
Calculating the Number of Voices Being Used
The JUNO-STAGE 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.
Equal Temperament
This tuning divides the octave into 12 equal parts, and is the most
widely used method of temperament used in Western music. The
JUNO-STAGE employs equal temperament when the Scale Tune
Switch is set to “OFF.”
Just Intonation (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#, F# and G#
are a quarter-note higher compared to equal temperament. The
intervals between G and B, C and E, F and G#, Bb and C#, and Eb
and F# have a natural third-the interval between a major third and
a minor third. On the JUNO-STAGE, you can use Arabian
temperament in the three keys of G, C and F.
