NOTE
If you specify the delay time as a note value, slowing down the tempo will not
change the delay time beyond a certain length.
This is because there is an upper limit for the delay time; if the delay time is
specied as a note value and you slow down the tempo until this upper limit
is reached, the delay time cannot change any further. This upper limit is the
maximum value that can be specied when setting the delay time as a numerical
value.
Patch Parameters
COMMON
Parameter Value/Explanation
Patch Category
Species the type (category) of the patch.
*If you select “NO ASSIGN”as the category, it won’t be possible to select
the patch on the JUNO-DS itself.
Refer to“Category List” (p. 5).
Patch Level Species the volume of the patch.
0–127
Patch Pan
Species the pan of the patch.
“L64” is far left, “0” is center, and “63R” is far right.
L64–0–63R
Patch Priority
This determines how notes will be managed when the maximum
polyphony is exceeded (128 voices).
LAST
The last-played voices will be given priority, and currently
sounding notes will be turned o in order, beginning with
the rst-played note.
LOUDEST
The voices with the loudest volume will be given priority,
and currently sounding notes will be turned o, beginning
with the lowest-volume voice.
Octave Shift
Adjusts the pitch of the patch’s sound up or down in units of an octave (±3
octaves).
-3–3
Patch Coarse Tune
Adjusts the pitch of the patch’s sound up or down in semitone steps (±4
octaves).
-48–48
Patch Fine Tune
Adjusts the pitch of the patch’s sound up or down in 1-cent steps (±50
cents).
-50–50
Stretch Tune
Depth
Stretched tuning (a system by which acoustic pianos are normally tuned,
causing the lower range to be lower and the higher range to be higher
than the mathematical tuning ratios would otherwise dictate)
OFF Equal temperament
1–3 Higher settings will produce the greater dierence in the
pitch of the low and high ranges.
Pitch dierence from
equal temperament Parameter value
Low note range High note range
Analog Feel
Species the depth of 1/f modulation that is to be applied to the patch.
By adding this “1/f modulation,” you can simulate the natural instability
characteristic of an analog synthesizer.
0–127
Cuto Oset
Cuto Frequency Oset alters the cuto frequency of the overall patch,
while preserving the relative dierences between the cuto frequency
values set for each tone in the Cuto Frequency (p. 8).
*This value is added to the cuto frequency value of a tone, so if the
cuto frequency value of any tone is already set to“127” (maximum),
positive “+” settings here will not produce any change.
-63–+63
Resonance Oset
Resonance Oset alters the resonance of the overall patch, while
preserving the relative dierences between the resonance values set for
each tone in the Resonance (p. 8).
*This value is added to the resonance value of a tone, so if the resonance
value of any tone is already set to“127” (maximum), positive “+”settings
here will not produce any change.
-63–+63
Attack Time Oset
Attack Time Oset alters the attack time of the overall patch, while
preserving the relative dierences between the attack time values set for
each tone in the TVA-Env Time 1 (p. 10), TVF-Env Time 1 (p. 9).
*This value is added to the attack time value of a tone, so if the attack
time value of any tone is already set to“127” (maximum), positive “+”
settings here will not produce any change.
-63–+63
Release Time
Oset
Release Time Oset alters the release time of the overall patch, while
preserving the relative dierences between the release time values set for
each tone in the TVA-Env Time 4 (p. 10), TVF-Env Time 4 (p. 9).
*This value is added to the release time value of a tone, so if the release
time value of any tone is already set to“127” (maximum), positive “+”
settings here will not produce any change.
-63–+63

Patch Mode
Parameter Value/Explanation
Velocity Sens
Oset
Velocity Sens Oset alters the Velocity Sensitivity of the overall patch while
preserving the relative dierences between the Velocity Sensitivity values
set for each tone in the parameters below.
Cuto V-Sens (p. 9)
Level V-Sens (p. 10)
*This value is added to the velocity sensitivity value of a tone, so if the
velocity sensitivity value of any tone is already set to“+63” (maximum),
positive “+” settings here will not produce any change.
-63–+63
Mono/Poly
Species whether the patch will play polyphonically (POLY) or
monophonically (MONO).
The “MONO” setting is eective when playing a solo instrument patch such
as sax or ute.
MONO Only the last-played note will sound.
POLY Two or more notes can be played simultaneously.
Legato Switch
Species whether the Legato Switch will be used (ON) or not (OFF).
With the Legato Switch parameter “ON,” pressing a key while continuing
to press a previous key causes the note to change pitch to the pitch of the
most recently pressed key, sounding all the while. This creates a smooth
transition between notes, which is eective when you wish to simulate the
hammering-on and pulling-o techniques used by a guitarist.
*Legato Switch is valid when the Mono/Poly is set to“MONO.”
OFF, ON
Legato Retrigger
The setting determines whether sounds are replayed (ON) or not (OFF)
when performing legato. Normally you will leave this parameter “ON.”
When “OFF,” when one key is held down and another key is then pressed,
only the pitch changes, without the attack of the latter key being played.
Set this to “OFF” when performing wind and string phrases or when using
modulation with the mono synth keyboard sound.
*Legato Retrigger is valid when the Mono/Poly is set to “MONO”and the
Legato Switch is set to “ON.”
OFF, ON
MEMO
Let’s say you have the Legato Switch set to“ON,” and the Legato Retrigger set to“OFF.”When
you try to sound a legato (by pressing a higher key while a lower key is held down), the pitch
may sometimes not be able to rise all the way to the intended pitch (stopping instead at an
intermediate pitch). This can occur because the limit of pitch rise, as determined at the wave
level, has been exceeded. Additionally, if diering upper pitch limits are used for the waves of
a Patch that uses multiple tones, it may stop being heard in MONO. When making large pitch
changes, set the Legato Retrigger to“ON.”
Portamento
Switch
Species whether the portamento eect will be applied (ON) or not (OFF).
OFF, ON
Portamento Mode
Species the performance conditions for which portamento will be
applied.
NORMAL Portamento will always be applied.
LEGATO
Portamento will be applied only when you play legato (i.e.,
when you press the next key before releasing the previous
key).
Portamento Type
Species the type of portamento eect.
RATE The time it takes will depend on the distance between the
two pitches.
TIME The time it takes will be constant, regardless of how far
apart in pitch the notes are.
Portamento Start
When another key is pressed during a pitch change produced by
portamento, a new pitch change will begin. This setting species the pitch
at which the change will begin.
PITCH Starts a new portamento when another key is pressed while
the pitch is changing.
Pitch
Time
press C4 key
press C5 key
press D4 key
NOTE Portamento will begin anew from the pitch where the
current change would end.
Pitch
Time
press C4 key
press C5 key
press D4 key
Parameter Value/Explanation
Portamento Time
When portamento is used, this species the time over which the pitch will
change. Higher settings will cause the pitch change to the next note to
take more time.

WAVE
Parameter Value/Explanation
*1– *4Specify the on/o status of tones 1–4. If a tone is on, a “(” mark is shown.
OFF, ON
Wave Group
Selects the group for the waveform that is to be the basis of the tone.
INTA, B Waveforms stored in internal
EXP Waveforms for expansion sounds
Wave No. L (Mono)
Wave No. R
Selects the basic waveform for a tone. Along with the Wave number, the
Wave name appears at the lower part of the display.
When in mono, only the left side (L) is specied. When in stereo, the right
side (R) is also specied.
OFF, 1–2402 (The upper limit will depend on the wave group.)
Wave Gain
Sets the gain (amplication) of the waveform. The value changes in 6 dB
(decibel) steps—an increase of 6 dB doubles the waveform’s gain.
If you intend to use the Booster to distort the waveform’s sound, set this
parameter to its maximum value (p. 7).
-6, 0, +6, +12
Wave Tempo Sync
When you wish to synchronize a Phrase Loop to the clock (tempo), set this
to “ON.”
OFF, ON
MEMO
Phrase loop refers to the repeated playback of a phrase that’s been pulled
out of a song (e.g., by using a sampler).
Wave FXM Switch
Sets whether FXM will be used (ON) or not (OFF).
OFF, ON
MEMO
FXM (Frequency Cross Modulation) uses a specied waveform to apply
frequency modulation to the currently selected waveform, creating
complex overtones. This is useful for creating dramatic sounds or sound
eects.
Wave FXM Color
Species how FXM will perform frequency modulation. Higher settings
result in a grainier sound, while lower settings result in a more metallic
sound.
1–4
Wave FXM Depth Species the depth of the modulation produced by FXM.
0–16
Tone Delay Mode
Selects the type of tone delay.
NORM The tone begins to play after the time specied in the Tone
Delay Time has elapsed.
Note on
No Tone Delay
Delay time
Note o
HOLD Although the tone begins to play after the time specied
in the Tone Delay Time has elapsed, if the key is released
before the time specied in the Tone Delay Time has
elapsed, the tone is not played.
Note on Note o
No sound played
OFF-N Rather than being played while the key is pressed, the tone
begins to play once the period of time specied in the
Tone Delay Time has elapsed after release of the key. This is
eective in situations such as when simulating noises from
guitars and other instruments.
Note on Note o
Delay time
Parameter Value/Explanation
OFF-D Rather than being played while the key is pressed, the tone
begins to play once the period of time specied in the
Tone Delay Time has elapsed after release of the key. Here,
however, changes in the TVA Envelope begin while the key
is pressed, which in many cases means that only the sound
from the release portion of the envelope is heard.
Note on Note o
Delay time
MEMO
If you have selected a waveform that is a decay-type sound (i.e., a sound that fades away
naturally even if the key is not released), selecting“OFF-N” or “OFF-D” may result in no sound
being heard.
Tone Delay Time
Species the time from when the key is pressed (or if the Delay Mode is set
to “OFF-N” or “OFF-D,” the time from when the key is released) until when
the tone will sound.
0–127, note
TMT
Parameter Value/Explanation
Structure Type
1 & 2, 3 & 4
Determines how tone 1 and 2, or tone 3 and 4 are connected.
The following 10 dierent Types of combination are available.
1With this type, tones 1 and 2 (or 3 and 4) are independent.
Use this type when you want to preserve PCM sounds or
create and combine sounds for each tone.
2This type stacks the two lters together to intensify the
characteristics of the lters. The TVA for tone 1 (or 3) controls
the volume balance between the two tones.
3 This type mixes the sound of tone 1 (3) and tone 2 (4),
applies a lter, and then applies a booster to distort the
waveform.
4This type applies a booster to distort the waveform, and
then combines the two lters. The TVA for tone 1 (or 3)
controls the volume balance between the two tones and
adjusts booster level.
5This type uses a ring modulator to create new overtones,
and combines the two lters. The tone 1 (3) TVA will control
the volume balance of the two tones, adjusting the depth of
ring modulator.
6This type uses a ring modulator to create new overtones,
and in addition mixes in the sound of tone 2 (4) and stacks
the two lters. Since the ring-modulated sound can be
mixed with tone 2 (4), tone 1 (3) TVA can adjust the amount

Patch Mode
Parameter Value/Explanation
7This type applies a lter to tone 1 (3) and ring-modulates it
with tone 2 (4) to create new overtones.
8This type sends the ltered tone 1 (3) and tone 2 (4) through
a ring modulator, and then mixes in the sound of tone 2 (4)
and applies a lter to the result.
9This type passes the ltered sound of each tone through a
ring modulator to create new overtones. The tone 1 (3) TVA
will control the volume balance of the two tones, adjusting
the depth of ring modulator.
10 This type passes the ltered sound of each tone through a
ring modulator to create new overtones, and also mixes in
the sound of tone 2 (4). Since the ring-modulated sound
can be mixed with tone 2 (4), tone 1 (3) TVA can adjust the
amount of the ring-modulated sound.
MEMO
5When type 2–10 is selected and one tone of a pair is turned o, the other tone will be
sounded as type 1 regardless of the displayed setting.
5If you limit the keyboard area in which a tone will sound (Key Range Upper, Lower) or limit
the range of velocities for which it will sound (Velo Range Upper, Lower), the result in areas
or ranges where the tone does not sound is just as if the tone had been turned o. This
means that if type 2–10 is selected and you create a keyboard area or velocity range in which
one tone of a pair does not sound, notes played in that area or range will be sounded by the
other tone as TYPE 1 regardless of the displayed setting.
Booster
1 & 2, 3 & 4
When a Structure Type of 3 or 4 is selected, you can adjust the depth of
the booster. The booster increases the input signal in order to distort
the sound. This creates the distortion eect frequently used with electric
guitars. Higher settings will produce more distortion.

Key Fade Upper,
Lower
This determines what will happen to the tone’s level when a note that’s
higher/lower than the tone’s specied keyboard range is played.
Higher settings produce a more gradual change in volume. If you don’t
want the tone to sound at all when a note below the keyboard range is
played, set this parameter to “0.”

TMT Velocity
Control
TMT Velocity Control determines whether a dierent tone is played or not
depending on the force with which the key is played (velocity).
*Instead of using Velocity, you can also have tones substituted using the
Matrix control (p. 12). However, the keyboard velocity and the Matrix
control cannot be used simultaneously to make dierent tones to
sound. When using the Matrix control to switch tones, set the Velocity
Control to “OFF.”
OFF Tones are not velocity-switched.
ON Tones are switched according to the keyboard playing
velocity.
RANDOM The patch’s constituent tones will sound randomly,
regardless of the velocity.
CYCLE The patch’s constituent tones will sound consecutively,
regardless of the velocity.
Velo Fade Upper,
Lower
This determines what will happen to the tone’s level when the tone is
played at a velocity Upper/lower than its specied velocity range. Higher
settings produce a more gradual change in volume. If you want notes
played outside the specied key velocity range to not be sounded at all,
set this to “0.”

Pitch Env Depth
Adjusts the eect of the Pitch Envelope. Higher settings will cause the
pitch envelope to produce greater change. Negative (-) settings will invert
the shape of the envelope.
-12–+12
Pitch Env V-Sens
Keyboard playing dynamics can be used to control the depth of the pitch
envelope. If you want the pitch envelope to have more eect for strongly
played notes, set this parameter to a positive (+) value. If you want the
pitch envelope to have less eect for strongly played notes, set this to a
negative (-) value.
-63–+63
Pitch Env T1
V-Sens
This allows keyboard dynamics to aect the Time 1 of the Pitch envelope.
If you want Time 1 to be speeded up for strongly played notes, set this
parameter to a positive (+) value. If you want it to be slowed down, set this
to a negative (-) value.
-63–+63
Pitch Env T4
V-Sens
Use this parameter when you want key release speed to aect the Time
4 value of the pitch envelope. If you want Time 4 to be speeded up for
quickly released notes, set this parameter to a positive (+) value. If you
want it to be slowed down, set this to a negative (-) value.
-63–+63
Pitch Env Time KF
Use this setting if you want the pitch envelope times (Time 2–Time 4) to
be aected by the keyboard location. Based on the pitch envelope times
for the C4 key, positive (+) settings will cause notes higher than C4 to
have increasingly shorter times, and negative (-) settings will cause them
to have increasingly longer times. Larger settings will produce greater
change.
-100–+100

TVF
Parameter Value/Explanation
Filter Type
Selects the type of lter. A lter cuts or boosts a specic frequency region
to change a sound’s brightness, thickness, or other qualities.
*If you set “LPF2” or “LPF3,” the setting for the Resonance (p. 8) will be
ignored .
OFF No lter is used.
LPF
Low Pass Filter. This reduces the volume of all frequencies above
the cuto frequency in order to round o, or un-brighten the
sound. This is the most common lter used in synthesizers.
BPF
Band Pass Filter. This leaves only the frequencies in the region of
the cuto frequency, and cuts the rest. This can be useful when
creating distinctive sounds.
HPF
High Pass Filter. This cuts the frequencies in the region below the
cuto frequency. This is suitable for creating percussive sounds
emphasizing their higher tones.
PKG
Peaking Filter. This emphasizes the frequencies in the region of
the cuto frequency. You can use this to create wah-wah eects
by employing an LFO to change the cuto frequency cyclically.
LPF2
Low Pass Filter 2. Although frequency components above the
cuto frequency are cut, the sensitivity of this lter is half that of
the LPF. This makes it a comparatively warmer low pass lter. This
lter is good for use with simulated instrument sounds such as
the acoustic piano.
LPF3
Low Pass Filter 3. Although frequency components above the
cuto frequency are cut, the sensitivity of this lter changes
according to the cuto frequency. While this lter is also good
for use with simulated acoustic instrument sounds, the nuance
it exhibits diers from that of the LPF2, even with the same TVF
Envelope settings.
Cuto Frequency
Selects the frequency at which the lter begins to have an eect on the
waveform’s frequency components.
“LPF/LPF2/LPF3” selected for the Filter Type
Lower cuto frequency settings reduce a tone’s upper harmonics for a
more rounded, warmer sound. Higher settings make it sound brighter.
“BPF” selected for the Filter Type
Harmonic components will change depending on the TVF Cuto
Frequency setting. This can be useful when creating distinctive sounds.
“HPF” selected for the Filter Type
Higher Cuto Frequency settings will reduce lower harmonics to
emphasize just the brighter components of the sound.
“PKG”selected for the Filter Type
The harmonics to be emphasized will vary depending on Cuto Frequency
setting.
MEMO
To edit the overall patch while preserving the relative dierences in the
Cuto Frequency values set for each tone, set the Cuto Oset (p. 4).
0–127
Resonance
Emphasizes the portion of the sound in the region of the cuto frequency,
adding character to the sound. Excessively high settings can produce
oscillation, causing the sound to distort.

Cuto Keyfollow
Use this parameter if you want the cuto frequency to change according
to the key that is pressed. Relative to the cuto frequency at the C4 key
(center C), positive (+) settings will cause the cuto frequency to rise
for notes higher than C4, and negative (-) settings will cause the cuto
frequency to fall for notes higher than C4.

When a loop waveform is selected, the sound will normally continue as
long as the key is pressed. If you want the sound to decay naturally even if
the key remains pressed, set this to“NOSUS.”
*If a one-shot type waveform is selected, it will not sustain even if this
parameter is set to“SUST.”
NOSUS, SUST
MEMO
5One-shot: These waveforms contain sounds that have short decays. A
one-shot waveform records the initial rise and fall of the sound. Some
of the JUNO-DS’s one-shot waveforms are sounds that are complete
in themselves, such as percussive instrument sounds. The JUNO-DS
also contains many other one-shot waveforms that are elements of
other sounds. These include attack components such as piano-hammer
sounds and guitar fret noises.
5Looped: These waveforms include sounds with long decays as well
as sustained sounds. Loop waveforms repeatedly play back (loop) the
portion of the waveform after the sound has reached a relatively steady
state. The JUNO-DS’s looped waveforms also include components of
other sounds, such as piano-string resonant vibrations and the hollow
sounds of brass instruments.
Rx Bender
For each tone, specify whether MIDI Pitch Bend messages will be received
(ON), or not (OFF).
OFF, ON
Rx Expression
For each tone, specify whether MIDI Expression messages will be received
(ON), or not (OFF).
OFF, ON
Rx Hold-1
For each tone, specify whether MIDI Hold-1 messages will be received (ON),
or not (OFF).
*If “NOSUS”is selected for Env Mode parameter, this setting will have no
eect.
OFF, ON
Rx Pan Mode
For each tone, specify how pan messages will be received.
*The channels cannot be set so as not to receive Pan messages.
CONT Whenever Pan messages are received, the stereo position of
the tone will be changed.
K-ON
The pan of the tone will be changed only when the next
note is played. If a pan message is received while a note is
sounding, the panning will not change until the next key is
pressed.
Redamper Sw
You can specify, on an individual tone basis, whether or not the sound
will be held when a Hold 1 message is received after a key is released, but
before the sound has decayed to silence. If you want to sustain the sound,
set this “ON.”When using this function, also set the Rx Hold-1 “ON.”This
function is eective for piano sounds.
OFF, ON
Matrix control
Ordinarily, if you wanted to change tone parameters using an external MIDI device,
you would need to send System Exclusive messages—MIDI messages designed
exclusively for the JUNO-DS. However, System Exclusive messages tend to be
complicated, and the amount of data that needs to be transmitted can get quite
large.
For that reason, a number of the more typical of the JUNO-DS’s tone parameters
have been designed so they accept the use of Control Change (or other) MIDI
messages for the purpose of making changes in their values. This provides you with
a variety of means of changing the way patches are played. For example, you can
use the Pitch Bend lever to change the LFO cycle rate, or use the keyboard’s touch
to open and close a lter.
The function which allows you use MIDI messages to make these changes in
realtime to the tone parameters is called the Matrix control. Up to four Matrix
Controls can be used in a single patch.
To use the Matrix control, specify which MIDI message (Source) will be used to
control which parameter (Dest), and how greatly (Sens), and the tone to which the
eect is applied (Switch).

5Although there are no MIDI messages for LFO 1 through TVA Envelope, they can be used as
Matrix Control. In this case, you can change the tone settings in realtime by playing patches.
5If you want to use common controllers for the entire JUNO-DS, select “SYS CTRL1”–”SYS
CTRL4.” MIDI messages used as System Control 1–4 are set with the System Ctrl 1–4 Source
(p. 34).
MEMO
5There are parameters that determine whether or not Pitch bend, Controller number 11
(Expression) and Controller number 64 (Hold 1) are received (p. 12). When these settings
are “ON,” and the MIDI messages are received, then when any change is made in the settings
of the desired parameter, the Pitch bend, Expression, and Hold 1 settings also change
simultaneously. If you want to change the targeted parameters only, then set these to “OFF.”
5There are parameters that let you specify whether specic MIDI messages will be received
for each channel in a performance (p. 20). When a patch with Matrix control settings
is assigned to a part, conrm that any MIDI messages used for the Matrix control will be
received. If the JUNO-DS is set up such that reception of MIDI messages is disabled, then the
Matrix control will not function.
Control Dest1–4
Matrix control destination selects the tone parameter that is to be
controlled when using the Matrix control. The following parameters can
be controlled. When not controlling parameters with the Matrix Control,
set this to “OFF.” Up to four parameters can be specied for each Matrix
Control, and controlled simultaneously.
OFF Matrix control will not be used.

Splitting tones that are played
TMT
5If the Matrix control is used to split tones, set the
TMT Velocity Control to “OFF,” and the TMT Control
Switch to“ON” (p. 7).
5If the Matrix control is used to split tones, we
recommend setting the Matrix control Sens to“+63.”
Selecting a lower value may prevent switching of
the tones. Furthermore, if you want to reverse the
eect, set the value to“-63.”
5If you want to use matrix control to switch smoothly
between tones, use the Velo Fade Lower and Velo
Fade Upper (p. 7). The higher the values set, the
smoother the switch is between the tones.

Parameter Value/Explanation
Filter Type
Selects the type of lter. A lter cuts or boosts a specic frequency region
to change a sound’s brightness, thickness, or other qualities.
*If you set “LPF2” or “LPF3,” the setting for the Resonance will be ignored
(p. 15).
OFF No lter is used.
LPF
Low Pass Filter. This reduces the volume of all frequencies above
the cuto frequency in order to round o, or un-brighten the
sound. This is the most common lter used in synthesizers.
BPF
Band Pass Filter. This leaves only the frequencies in the region of
the cuto frequency, and cuts the rest. This can be useful when
creating distinctive sounds.
HPF
High Pass Filter. This cuts the frequencies in the region below the
cuto frequency. This is suitable for creating percussive sounds
emphasizing their higher tones.
PKG
Peaking Filter. This emphasizes the frequencies in the region of
the cuto frequency. You can use this to create wah-wah eects
by employing an LFO to change the cuto frequency cyclically.
LPF2
Low Pass Filter 2. Although frequency components above the
cuto frequency are cut, the sensitivity of this lter is half that of
the LPF. This makes it a comparatively warmer low pass lter. This
lter is good for use with simulated instrument sounds such as
the acoustic piano.
LPF3
Low Pass Filter 3. Although frequency components above the
cuto frequency are cut, the sensitivity of this lter changes
according to the cuto frequency. While this lter is also good
for use with simulated acoustic instrument sounds, the nuance
it exhibits diers from that of the LPF2, even with the same TVF
Envelope settings.
Cuto Frequency
Selects the frequency at which the lter begins to have an eect on the
waveform’s frequency components.
“LPF/LPF2/LPF3” selected for the Filter Type
Lower cuto frequency settings reduce a tone’s upper harmonics for a
more rounded, warmer sound. Higher settings make it sound brighter.
“BPF” selected for the Filter Type
Harmonic components will change depending on the TVF Cuto
Frequency setting. This can be useful when creating distinctive sounds.
“HPF” selected for the Filter Type
Higher Cuto Frequency settings will reduce lower harmonics to
emphasize just the brighter components of the sound.
“PKG”selected for the Filter Type
The harmonics to be emphasized will vary depending on Cuto Frequency
setting.
0–127
Resonance
Emphasizes the portion of the sound in the region of the cuto frequency,
adding character to the sound. Excessively high settings can produce
oscillation, causing the sound to distort.

Cuto V-Curve
Selects one of the following seven curves that determine how keyboard
playing dynamics (velocity) inuence the cuto frequency.
Set this to “FIXED” if you don’t want the Cuto frequency to be aected by
the keyboard velocity.
FIXED, 1–7
Cuto V-Sens
Use this parameter when changing the cuto frequency to be applied as a
result of changes in playing velocity. If you want strongly played notes to
raise the cuto frequency, set this parameter to positive (+) settings. If you
want strongly played notes to lower the cuto frequency, use negative (-)
settings.

MFX control
If you wanted to change the volume of MFX sounds, the delay time of Delay, and
the like, using an external MIDI device, you would need to send System Exclusive
messages-MIDI messages designed exclusively for the JUNO-DS. However, System
Exclusive messages tend to be complicated, and the amount of data that needs to
be transmitted can get quite large.
For that reason, a number of the more typical of the JUNO-DS’s MFX parameters
have been designed so they accept the use of Control Change (or other) MIDI
messages for the purpose of making changes in their values. For example, you can
use the Pitch Bend lever to change the amount of distortion, or use the keyboard’s
touch to change the delay time of Delay.
The parameters that can be changed are predetermined for each type of MFX;
among the parameters described in “MFX parameters” (p. 40), these are indicated
by a “#.”
The function that allows you use MIDI messages to make these changes in realtime
to the MFX parameters is called the MFX control. Up to four MFX controls can be
used in a single patch/drum kit/performance.
When the MFX control is used, you can select the amount of control (Sens) applied,
the parameter selected (Destination), and the MIDI message used (Source).
MEMO
By using the Matrix control instead of the MFX control, you can also change the
parameters of some popular MFX in realtime (p. 12).

V-Sens
(Velocity
Sensitivity Oset)
This changes the volume and cuto frequency for each part according to
the velocity with which the keys are pressed. If you want strongly played
notes to raise the volume/cuto frequency, set this parameter to positive
(+) settings. If you want strongly played notes to lower the volume/cuto
frequency, use negative (-) settings. Set Velocity Sensitivity to “0”when you
want sounds played at a xed volume and cuto frequency, regardless of
the force with which the keys are played.
*Patches also contain a Velocity Sensitivity Oset setting (p. 5). The
ultimate Velocity Sensitivity Oset value is the sum of the part’s and the
patch’s Velocity Sensitivity Osets. Accordingly, if the patch’s Velocity
Sensitivity Oset is set to “127”(maximum), there will be no change in
the part’s Velocity Sensitivity Oset, even when this is set to a positive
value.
-63–+63
V-Rsv
Species the number of voices that will be reserved for each part when
more than 128 voices are played simultaneously.
*It is not possible for the settings of all parts to total an amount greater
than 128.

Calculating the number of voices being used
The JUNO-DS 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.
OFFSET
Parameter Value/Explanation
Cuto
(Cuto Oset)
Adjusts the cuto frequency for the patch or drum kit assigned to a part.
*Patches also have a Cuto Oset setting (p. 4). The nal cuto
frequency value is the sum of the tone Cuto Frequency value and the
patch and part Cuto Oset values. If the tone’s cuto frequency is
already set to“127” (maximum), there will be no change produced by
setting the Cuto Oset to a positive value.
-64–+63
Reso
(Resonance Oset)
Adjusts the Resonance for the patch or rhythm set assigned to a part.
*Patches also have a Resonance Oset setting (p. 4). The nal
Resonance value is the sum of the tone Resonance value and the patch
and part Resonance Oset values. If the tone’s resonance is already set
to “127” (maximum), there will be no change produced by setting the
resonance oset to a positive value.
-64–+63
Attack
(Attack Time
Oset)
Adjusts the TVA/TVF Envelope Attack Time for the patch or drum kit
assigned to a part.
*Patches also contain the Attack Time Oset setting (p. 4). The nal
TVA Envelope attack time value is therefore the sum of the tone’s TVA
Envelope Time 1 setting, the patch’s Attack Time Oset, and the part’s
Attack Time Oset. If the tone’s Time 1 is already set to “127” (maximum),
there will be no change produced by setting the Attack Time Oset to a
positive value. The same applies to the TVF envelope.
-64–+63
Decay
Adjusts the TVA/TVF Envelope Decay Time for the patch or drum kit
assigned to a part.
-64–+63
Release
(Release Time
Oset)
Adjusts the TVA/TVF Envelope Release Time for the patch or drum kit
assigned to a part.
*Patches also contain a Release Time Oset setting (p. 4). The nal
TVA Envelope release time value is therefore the sum of the tone’s TVA
Envelope Time 4 setting, the patch’s Release Time Oset, and the part’s
Release Time Oset. If the tone’s Time 4 is set to“127” (maximum), there
will be no change in the Release Time Oset, even when this is set to a
positive value. The same applies to the TVF envelope.
-64–+63
VIBRATO
Parameter Value/Explanation
Rate
For each part, adjust the vibrato speed (the rate at which the pitch is
modulated). The pitch will be modulated more rapidly for higher settings,
and more slowly with lower settings.
-64–+63
Depth
For each part, this adjusts the depth of the vibrato eect (the depth at
which the pitch is modulated). The pitch will be modulated more greatly
for higher settings, and less with lower settings.
-64–+63
Delay
For each part, this adjusts the time delay until the vibrato (pitch
modulation) eect begins. Higher settings will produce a longer delay
time before vibrato begins, while lower settings produce a shorter time.
-64–+63
SCALE
Parameter Value/Explanation
C–B Make scale tune settings for each part.
-64–+63
Equal Temperament
This tuning divides the octave into 12 equal parts, and is the most widely used
method of temperament used in Western music.
Just Temperament (Tonic of C)
Compared with equal temperament, the principle triads sound pure in this
tuning. However, this eect 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 C¾, F¾and G¾are a quarter-note
higher compared to equal temperament. The intervals between G and B, C and E, F
and G¾, B²and C¾, and E²and F¾have a natural third—the interval between a major
third and a minor third. On the JUNO-DS, you can use Arabian temperament in the
three keys of G, C and F.

PL
Set PL (phase lock) to “(” (ON) when you want to suppress
discrepancies in timing of parts played on the same MIDI channel.
*When the PL (phase lock) is set to “ON,” parts on the same MIDI
channel are put in a condition in which their timing is matched,
enabling them to be played at the same time. Accordingly, a
certain amount of time may elapse between reception of the
Note messages and playing of the sounds. Turn this setting to
“ON”only as needed.
VC
Selects Velocity Curve for each MIDI channel one of the four
following Velocity Curve types that best matches the touch of the
connected MIDI keyboard.
Set this to “–” (OFF) if you are using the MIDI keyboard’s own
velocity curve.
