Common Roland JUNO-DS Questions
How do I set up the JUNO-DS for MIDI control with my DAW (like Ableton or Logic)?
Connect the JUNO-DS to your computer via USB. In your DAW, select the JUNO-DS as both the MIDI input and output device, and ensure the JUNO-DS's System settings are set to USB MIDI mode.
Where are my saved Performances (presets combining sounds) stored, and how do I back them up?
Performances are stored in internal memory and can be backed up by exporting the entire system data to a USB drive using the System menu's Backup/Restore function; this creates a .SDZ file.
I'm new to the JUNO-DS. What's the quickest way to start playing different sounds?
Use the Category buttons (Piano, Organ, Synth, etc.) to quickly navigate to different sound categories, then use the Value knob to scroll through the individual patches within that category.
My JUNO-DS is making no sound, even though it's powered on and I'm pressing keys. What could be wrong?
Check the volume knob (both the main output and headphone level), and verify that the Local Control setting (in the System menu) is set to 'On' if you're not using an external MIDI controller.
How do I use the JUNO-DS's Phrase Pads, and what can they do?
The Phrase Pads allow you to trigger samples, loops, or even complete songs stored as WAV or MP3 files on a USB drive connected to the JUNO-DS; these can be used for live performance or song creation.
