About the JUNO-X Editor
The JUNO-X Editor allows users to easily edit and organize Scenes and Tones
for the JUNO-X.
You must be connected to a JUNO-X using the MIDI configuration on the initial
screen in order to use the Editor.
MEMO
Please ensure “TX Edit” and “Rx Exclusive” in System is set to ON. It can be
accessed by pressing the [MENU] button, selecting “SYSTEM” and scrolling down
to the “MIDI Tx” and “MIDI Rx” sections of that menu. To save your changes,
press the [SHIFT] + [MENU] (WRITE) button and select “SYSTEM”.
How the Screens Are Organized
The editor is organized into three main screens. You can switch between the screens by clicking on the three buttons on the top left on the menu bar:
NOTE
After you have completed the changes you want to make in the editor, it is
important that you write to memory on your device. If you do not do this, you
will lose changes you have made when you turn off your device.
SCENE BUILDER Screen
A streamlined way to audition SCENES, swap in new TONES, and adjust commonly
used parameters and performance settings.
LIBRARIAN Screen
Used for assembling and managing TONES or SCENE BANKS or auditioning and
assembling SCENES. The SCENES and TONES grids display what is loaded into
memory on your device.
SCENE EDITOR Screen
Used to dive deep into editing parameters of individual SCENES.
TONE EDITOR Screen (Z-Core)
This is the Editor for Z-Core Tones. Used to dive deep into editing parameters
of individual TONES.
TONE EDITOR Screen (Models)
Tones using other models such as the JUNO-106 or JUNO-60 have their own custom
editors. This is the JUNO-106 model for example.
Vocal Designer Model Expansion Screen
Once you install the Vocal Designer Model Expansion on the JUNO-X, you can operate the Vocal Designer parameters from the JUNO-X Editor.
- You can download the Vocal Designer Model Expansion via Roland Cloud Manager (available for purchase).
Checking the Carrier Tone and Playing the Carrier Tone as-is
With the “Carrier Type: Custom” setting, when the following screen is shown on
the JUNO-X’s display and you click the [Carrier Thru] button, the carrier tone
plays as-is without going through the Vocal Designer.
- VD SETTINGS screen
- SELECT TONE screen
- TONE COMMON EDIT screen
- TONE EDIT PARTIAL screen
- TONE MFX screen
Selecting a Custom Tone
With the “Carrier Type: Custom” setting, when you drag and drop (copy) a
desired tone from the SCENE BUILDER or LIBRARIAN screen to a Vocal Designer
model tone, you can use that tone as a custom tone.
- For the copy source tone, you can select from the tones in PR-A through PR-D, PR-X, COMMON, installed EXZ and the Z-Core tones saved in USER.
- When dragging and dropping, drop the tones into the bottom of the copy destination box.
- When you drag and drop a tone, all the parameters of the copy source tone except the MFX are copied to the custom tone (no link is created to the copy source tone).
Backup/Restore
Clicking the top left drop down menu will allow you to select the “Backup JUNO-X” function. This will transfer all of the Tone and Scene banks from your device and allow you to save them to a file on your computer. Please note that this is a lot of data and will take a few minutes.
To restore your device from a backup file, select “Restore JUNO-X” from the top left drop down menu and select the back up file on your computer. Alternatively, drag the Backup file into the scene/tone area on the librarian page.
NOTE
This will replace all the Tone and Scene data on your device.
