*When the recorded chord is being played, the
Octave Transpose and Key Transpose functions
work. When Octave Transpose is normal and
the Key Transpose is 0, playing the 04 key will
faithfully recall the recorded chord.
*By recording the C4 key, the aJUNO can be
played as amonophonic keyboard.
*If the keyboard is being played extremely fast
or too many NOTE ON messages are continu-
ously sent into the MIDI IN, the chords may not
properly sound.

1. Tuning
Example
This function is used to tune with other instru-
ment. The pitch of A4 key can be set to 430 to
454Hz.
The Display ®shows the pitch currently set, and if
"" nnark is shown on the left of the Display, the
actual pitch of the aJUNO is slightly lower than
the set pitch shown in the Display. \i"<" mark is
shown on the right side of the Display, the pitch is
higher. When both "" and "<" marks are
shown at the both ends of the Display, tuning is
done.
2. Modulation Sensitivity
Example TWhen the Pitch Bender/Modulation Lever @con-
trols the Modulation effect, this function deter-
mines the depth of the Modulation effect from to
127.
3. Portamento Time
Example TWhen the Portamento effect is on, this function
sets the time needed for the slide of the pitch from
one note to another.
*At 0, no portamento effect is obtained, and 127 is
the longest time.
4. Preset Tone Colors' DCO Pitch Bender Range
Example When the Pitch Bender/Modulation lever controls
the Pitch Bender effect of the whole preset tone
colors (P-1 1to 88), this sets the depth of the effect
from to 12 (1 represents semi-tone).
5. Pedal Switch
Example TThis function selects which of the Program Shift,
Portamento, or Chord Memory function works by

7. Tone Color Parameters
Atone color consists of various parameters, there-
fore, to edit atone color, change the values of
those parameters.
a. Synthesizer Structure
The aJUNO's synthesizer section consists of
several blocks as shown in the picture. Each
block of the synthesizer section is controlled by
relevant tone-color parameters.

Output
(D DCO (Digitally Controlled Oscillator)
DCO is the digitally controlled oscillator that con-
trols the pitch and generates the waveforms that
are the sound source of the synthesizer.
(D HPF (High Pass Filter)
The HPF (High-Pass Filter) is afilter that passes
high frequency harmonics and cuts off the lower
ones. This changes the waveform and controls the
tone color.
(3) VCF (Voltage Controlled Filter)
Each VCF lets lower frequency harmonics of the
input signal pass and cuts off the higher ones. In
other words, it is ausual low pass filter. By con-
trolling the cutoff point and resonance, the
waveform changes, thereby the tone color alters.
®VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier)
After filtered in the VCF, the signal is fed to the
VCA where the volume (amplitude) of the sound Is
controlled.
(5) CHORUS
®LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator)
This oscillator generates extremely low frequency,
so produces avibrato or growl effect by control-
ling the DCO or VCF.
®ENV (Envelope Generator)
This generates the control voltage (Envelope)
which controls the DCO, VCF and VCA, therefore,
alters the pitch, tone color and volume in each
note.

DDCO LFO Depth
Example T
aDCO ENV Depth
Example T
When the LFO is controlling the pitch of the DCO,
this adjusts the depth of the vibrato effect in the
range of to 127.
When the ENV is controlling the pitch of the DCO,
this parameter sets the depth of the modulation in
the range of the to 127.
DDCO ENV Mode
Example TThis selects the polarity of the Envelope curve that
controls the DCO. Usually /V may be used. In \y
mode, ADSR pattern will be inverted.
Mode Display® Function

DDCO Aftertouch Sensitivity
Example TThis parameter determines the depth of the vibrato
effect when it is controlled by aftertouch. to 15
are valid for this parameter.
DDCO Bender Range
Example
This sets the maximum effect of the Pitch Bender
caused by moving the Pitch Bender/Modulaion
lever. to 12 are valid for this parameter, and 1is
semi-tone, therefore, 12 is an octave.
