About the Workshop Booklets
Roland’s JUNO synthesizers have been making history since the 1980s.
They’ve always been affordable, easy to use, and sounded great. The
JUNO-Di is designed for performing anywhere. It’s super-lightweight, can
run on batteries, and it puts everything you need on a gig right at your
fingertips. Enjoy the best of the latest performance-oriented sounds from
Roland with 128-note polyphony. Use dedicated buttons to quickly split
the JUNO-Di keyboard or layer sounds. Shape JUNO-Di sounds as you play
with its extensive realtime controls. Play along with audio files or SMFs
stored on a USB flash drive, or connect a personal music player. Plug a mic
into the JUNO-Di for singing along. With one button-press, configure the
JUNO-Di as a controller of other MIDI devices or a computer-based DAW.

Setting Up the JUNO-Di
Making the Power Connection
You can run your JUNO-Di on standard AC power, or on batteries. We’ll leave
it up to you to choose how you want to power your JUNO-Di for going
through this booklet.
It’s best not to power up until you’ve made your audio connections,
which we’ll discuss on the next page.
Using an AC Outlet
