INSTRUCTIONS FOR MIDI INTERFACE

ROLAND JUNO 6

USING THE MIDI INTERFACE

When you turn on the synthesizer for the first time, you will be  in  omni-on mode for receive (all channels) and
channel 1 for transmit - See next page for factory default settings  When  you  select a transmit or receive channel,
this will be stored in memory and will be remembered for when you subsequently turn on the synth -  all parameters
listed on the next page are stored.

If you want to put the machine back to the factory default  settings  at any  time, switch the  synth  on  whilst holding
the red push button pressed - hold for a couple of seconds then release.

RED PUSH BUTTON

Three modes are available by pushing the red push button. Before you press  the  red button  however,  make sure
that no notes are pressed on the synth otherwise the results may be unpredictable.

1) PATCH CHANGE MODE

Pressing once only enters patch change mode. Any  key then  selects  a  patch  change  which it sends through
MIDI. You are then automatically returned to playing mode.

2) SET-UP MODE

Setting MIDI channels and assignments. Give the red push  button  two short presses (half a second  each)  - then
release. Follow this with a note or sequence of notes as detailed on page 2.  After selecting  a channel  you  will be
automatically returned to playing mode but after making assignments  you  will need to press the ENTER key (Top
C) to return to playing  mode.  This is to  enable you to make the multiple key presses required when re-assigning
sources to destinations. (N.B. set-ups are stored in non volatile memory).

3) TRANSPOSE MODE

Press and hold the red push button  for four seconds - then release. Middle C will sound on the synth and
continue to sound until you press a key. The note that you press will be the new middle C for MIDI IN. You can  set
any value up  to two octaves  up  or down.  Settings  outside  this range  will be ignored. Note that transpose mode
cannot be entered from program mode.

ASSIGNING MIDI CONTROL SOURCES TO DESTINATIONS

SOURCES DESTINATIONS

 (d)=factory 

default

AFTERTOUCH 

off / modulation (d)/ p.bend / vcf / not used

CONTROLLER X 

off / vcf (d) / not used

CONTROLLER Y 

off / vcf / not used (d)

VELOCITY 

off (d) / vcf / not used

Sources can control more than one destination at once, but a destination can only be controlled by  one  source at
a time. Thus if velocity is currently controlling VCF and then you switch aftertouch  to  VCF, velocity will then control
nothing until re-assigned.
