The synthesizer section lets you select sounds and play them from the
keyboard.
Live Sets and Tones
What’s a Live Set?
On the JUNO-Gi, “Live Sets” are the units of sound that you select and
use.
Live Set
What are Layers and Tones?
Each Live Set has four “Layers” (Upper 1, 2, Lower 1, 2), and a “Tone”
is assigned to each of these Layers. A tone is the lowest-level unit of
sound; you can’t play a tone by itself.

What is a Split?
A “Split” is a setting in which you can play di erent tones with your left
and right hands.
When you turn Split on, your left hand will play the tones of the lower
layer, and your right hand will play the tones of the upper layer.

Saving a Live Set
If you’ve created a live set, and then select a di erent live set without
saving the one you created, your changes will be lost. After creating a
live set, you must save it as a “User Live Set” so that it can be used again
later.
For details on saving, refer to “Saving a Live Set (WRITE)” (p. 35).
What is a Special Live Set?
A “Special Live Set” is a particularly rich-sounding live set that uses
layers to take full advantage of the JUNO-Gi’s functionality.
Overview of the JUNO-Gi
Broadly speaking, the JUNO-Gi consists of three sections: “Synthesizer,” “Digital Recorder,” and “USB Memory Song Player.”
The explanations in this manual are also organized according to these sections. You can use the index tabs at the right edge of each page to jump to
the section you want to read.
