Main Window

LFO

Here you can create cyclic change (modulation) in the sound.

RATE

Determines the speed of the LFO.

DELAY TIME

Specifies the time from when the key is pressed until the LFO's amplitude reaches the maximum.

KEY TRIG switch

Specifies whether the LFO cycle starts at the moment you press the key (ON) or is not synchronized with the key-press (OFF).

TRIG ENV If this is ON, the envelope starts repeatedly at

switch

intervals of the LFO cycle.

DCO

Here you can select the waveform that determines the character of the sound, and specify its pitch.

RANGE
LFO
PULSE WIDTH slider/ switch
[]
[] SUB NOISE

Specifies the octave of the oscillator. Allows the LFO to modulate the pitch, producing a vibrato effect. When the switch is "MAN" (MANUAL):
Adjusts the value of the pulse width.
When the switch is "LFO", "E1+", "E1-", "E2+", "E2-":
Adjusts the modulation depth. Adjusts the volume of the Square wave/ Asymmetrical pulse wave. Adjusts the volume of the Sawtooth wave. Adjusts the volume of the sub oscillator. Adjusts the volume of the noise.

HPF

This is a high-pass filter that passes the high frequencies and cuts the low frequencies.

TYPE FREQ

Switches between the different high-pass filter types.
When the type is "60" : JUNO-60's high-pass filter (Lowering the FREQ gives an unfiltered sound.)
When the type is "106" : JUNO-106's high-pass filter (Lowering the FREQ boosts the low-end.) Specifies the cutoff frequency of the high-pass filter. Frequency components below the cutoff frequency are cut.

VCF

This is a low-pass filter that passes the low frequencies and cuts the high frequencies.

VELOCITY SENS FREQ
RES
ENV-1 LFO
KYBD

Adjusts the sensitivity with which the low pass filter is affected by your keyboard dynamics. Specifies the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter. Frequency components above the cutoff frequency are cut, making the sound mellower. Resonance boosts the sound in the region of the filter's cutoff frequency.
Higher settings produce stronger emphasis, creating a distinctively "synthesizer-like" sound. Adjusts the depth by which the ENV-1 controls the cutoff frequency. Uses the LFO to vary the cutoff frequency. Adjusts the way in which the pitch of the note affects the cutoff frequency (key follow) when using the keyboard to control cutoff frequency. Moving the slider downward causes the cutoff frequency to fall as you play higher on the keyboard.

VCA

Here you can adjust the amount of time-varying change (envelope) for the volume.

VELOCITY SENS TONE GATE/ENV1/ENV-2 switch LEVEL

Adjusts the sensitivity with which the volume is affected by your keyboard dynamics. Adjusts the tonal character.
Selects whether the volume is controlled by ENV (envelope) or by the gate signal.
Adjusts the volume.

ENV-1/2

Here you can create time-varying change (envelope).

A

Attack time

D

Decay time

S

Sustain level

R

CHORUS

This switches the type of chorus.

OFF

Chorus is not applied.

Playing with the SYSTEM-8

By connecting the SYSTEM-8 to your computer (Mac/Windows), you can use the JUNO-60 in conjunction with the SYSTEM-8. The "SYSTEM-8 CTRL" shown as a MIDI port is the port used by the JUNO-60. Do not use this port from your DAW.
Plug-Out
What is a "Plug-out"?
"Plug-out" is technology that allows a software synthesizer such as JUNO-60 to be installed and used in the SYSTEM-8. 5 You can play the JUNO-60 on the SYSTEM-8 by itself, without
using a computer. 5 You can send the settings of the selected bank to the
SYSTEM-8. 5 You can use the knobs and sliders of the SYSTEM-8 to edit the
sound.
Plug-Out Procedure
1. Click the [PLUG-OUT] button. 2. Select a plug-out destination (PLUG-OUT1­PLUG-OUT3) that corresponds to the
desired MODEL button of the SYSTEM-8. A confirmation message appears.
3. Click the [OK] button.
A progress bar appears, and plug-out processing begins. This takes approximately one minute. * If the JUNO-60 is already plugged-out to one of the plug-out destinations (PLUG-OUT1­
PLUG-OUT3), you can't plug-out a new instance. * If another software synthesizer is already plugged-out on the SYSTEM-8, a confirmation
message appears. Click the [OK] button to continue.

Send/Get Memories
1. Connect the SYSTEM-8 to your computer. 2. Turn on the SYSTEM-8's MODEL [PLUGOUT 1­3] button to which you plugged-out
the JUNO-60. * In order to send or get a memory, you must first plug-out (p. 8).
Sending the Memory
You can send the current JUNO-60 memory to the SYSTEM-8 and play it on the SYSTEM-8. The sound is output from the SYSTEM-8's OUTPUT jacks.
3. Click the [SEND] button of the JUNO-60.
The memory is transmitted.
Getting the Memory
If you've used the SYSTEM-8 to edit a memory of the plugged-out JUNO-60, here's how to load that memory into the JUNO-60.
4. Click the [GET] button of the JUNO-60.
The memory is loaded.

If an error message appears, check the following items. 5 Is the MIDI port specified correctly? (p. 10) 5 Is the SYSTEM-8 connected to your computer?

If an error message appears, check the following items. 5 Is the MIDI port specified correctly? (p. 10) 5 Is the SYSTEM-8 connected to your computer? 5 Is the SYSTEM-8's MODEL [PLUG-OUT 1­3] button turned on? 5 Is the JUNO-60 plugged-out on the SYSTEM-8? (p. 8)
