Overview of the JUNO-G
 
The song recorder records performance data from the keyboard and 
controllers and performance data for the samples created by audio 
track recording, and manages this data as a “song.” When you play 
back the song recorder, this performance data is sent to the sound 
generator, causing it to generate sound and reproduce the recorded 
performance.
For the JUNO-G, musical performance data for one song or 
composition is referred to as a 
 
song
 
. This consists of the 
performance data recorded on the MIDI tracks (MIDI channels 1–16), 
the tempo track, the beat track, and audio tracks 1–4.

Each section of a song which stores musical performance data is 
called a 
 
track
 
.
 
MIDI Tracks 1–16
 
MIDI tracks record your keyboard playing and controller operations 
as MIDI messages. When you play back a song, the MIDI tracks send 
these recorded MIDI messages to the sound generator, causing it to 
produce sound. MIDI tracks actually plays instruments instead of 
the musician, and since it can record a musical performance, it is a 
tape recorder as well.
But in reality MIDI tracks doesn’t record sound, but actually the 
steps that cause the sound generator to produce sound, so it offers 
several advantages. Sound quality is always excellent, the equivalent 
of first-generation tape, no matter how many times the data plays 
back; tempo changes have no effect on pitch; detailed editing is 
possible, etc.
The MIDI tracks can record performance data for sixteen MIDI 
channels. In Performance mode, the sound generator’s sixteen parts 
correspond to the sixteen MIDI channels. In Patch mode, the 
keyboard performance is recorded on MIDI channel 1 and the 
rhythm pattern performance is recorded on MIDI channel 10 (with 
the default settings).
 
Audio Tracks 1–4
 
Audio tracks handle the samples you’ve captured by audio track 
recording, as well as imported samples.
Even if you change the tempo during the song, audio tracks will be 
time-stretched so that they will continue playing in synchronization 
with the song. You can also play back from the middle of a sample.
Audio tracks do not record the sample itself; they only contain 
information that tells the sound generator to “play USER (or CARD) 
sample number ‘x’ at this point.” (This information is called a 
“sample event.”) This means that even if you delete a sample event 
from the audio track, the sample data itself will remain.
Up to 256 sample events can be placed on each audio track.
 
*
Each audio track can play back only one sample at a time. If there are 
overlapping sample events on an audio track, the sample event located 
later will be given priority.
 
Tempo Track
 
The Tempo track records tempo changes of a song over time. It can 
be used for tempo changes during a song. If a song has the same 
tempo from beginning to end, the Tempo track can be ignored.
When a song is first recorded on the JUNO-G, a tempo setting at the 
time of recording will be stored at the beginning of the Tempo track. 
Therefore when song playback starts from the beginning, the song 
will always play back at this initial tempo.
Thus playback tempo is determined by the Tempo track setting. If 
you modify the tempo during playback, the overall tempo of the 
song will be controlled by the setting you make.
 
Beat Track
 
The Beat track records the time signature of each measure of a song. 
Set the Beat track when recording a new song, or when you want to 
change time signature during a song.
