Playing
When you play the keyboard, you hear the sound of the part(s) that you selected in “Selecting the Parts to Perform” (p. 15).
The JUNO-X lets you customize performance-related settings so that you can perform in the way that’s best for you.
Performing Arpeggios
To start arpeggio performance, make the I-ARPEGGIO [ON] button lit.

Layering Tones and Splitting the
Keyboard
SINGLE
Press the [SINGLE] button when you want to play this instrument using
only one tone without layering.
* Note that once you press the [SINGLE] button, the scene data you were
editing is lost. If you want to keep the data, save the scene before switching
to SINGLE mode.
* The SINGLE setting state is canceled when you switch scenes.
SPLIT
When the [SPLIT] button is on (lit), the keyboard is divided into two
regions that you can play separately. To set the split point (the place
on the keyboard where the regions are divided), hold down the [SPLIT]
button and press the desired key.

Specifying the Key Range
By specifying the key range, a sound that you play or an arpeggio
performance can be restricted to a specific region of keys.
For example, you could specify that the left-hand region of the
keyboard plays only the bass part, so that an arpeggiated bass
continues without being affected by what you play in the right-hand
region of the keyboard. Alternatively, you could specify fades between
multiple parts to create gradations between sounds.
