Troubleshooting
 
Can I record an audio source such as guitar or vocals at the 
same time that I record a MIDI performance from the JUNO-G’s 
keyboard?
It’s not possible to record on an audio track at the same time 
that you record MIDI from the JUNO-G’s keyboard. Record 
your performance on the JUNO-G’s keyboard as MIDI, and 
then overdub your audio performance on an audio track.
Sound Device Tones Are Switched Arbitrarily
• Has an unneeded program change been input? Or are there 
duplicate program changes?
• Were any mistakes made in setting the data MIDI channels 
when Program Change messages were input?
Data supposed to be present does not appear in microscope.
Check the following points.
• Are the wrong tracks selected?
When I play back song data, I hear the sounds of the GM sound 
generator.
If the song data contains GM System On, GM2 System On, or 
GS Reset MIDI messages, the sound generator will switch to 
GM mode. To prevent this, turn the following reception settings 
“OFF” (p. 161).
[SYSTEM SETUP] MIDI Receive: Receive GM System On, 
Receive GM2 System On, and Receive GS Reset On
Music data (GM scores) does not play back correctly
Check the following points.
• Has the Receive General MIDI/General MIDI 2 System On 
Switch been turned ON?
Set the Receive GM System ON/Receive GM2 System ON 
parameter (SYSTEM/MIDI/RX) to “ON” (p. 161).
• Are you trying to start playback from midway through the 
song?
The beginning of a GM score song contains a General MIDI/
General MIDI 2 System On message. In some cases, a GM score 
cannot be played back correctly unless this message is received.
• Are you trying to play song data designed for the GS Format?
When the JUNO-G receives a GS Reset message, the JUNO-G is 
enabled for the GS format. This permits playback of music data 
bearing the GS logo (GS music data). However, data created 
exclusively for the Sound Canvas Series may not play back 
properly on the JUNO-G.
After using a song recorder to play a song, sounds stopped 
playing, and no sound is played even when Program Changes 
are sent.
It could be that a Bank Select in the song data that is not 
specified by the JUNO-G was encountered in the song. No 
sound is played if the tone group is not one designated by the 
JUNO-G with Bank Select MSB/LSB. Note that if you omit the 
Bank Select, and send only the Program Change, the tone in the 
currently selected group that has the specified Program Change 
number will play. Try reselecting the tone using the panel 
controls. Furthermore, when selecting tones from an external 
MIDI device, be sure to send the Bank Select MSB/LSB and the 
Program Change as a single set for reliable reproduction. First 
sending the MSB and LSB (the order in which these are sent 
does not matter), followed by the Program Change.
In some cases, you may be unable to hear any sound after 
playing the last song that was faded-out. This may be because 
the volume has been lowered by volume messages or 
expression messages. Check the value of these messages, and 
set them to appropriate values.
Performances are sluggish, or have interruptions.
Problems of sluggish and interrupted performances can crop up 
very easily when the song recorder or sound generator used for 
the performance has to handle heavy data loads.
Main causes and possible corrective measures are considered 
below.
• Are more than 128 voices playing simultaneously?
Reduce the number of voices. The composition of JUNO-G 
Patches is such that up to eight Waves may be used for one 
Patch. When using such Patches, even though only one sound 
may be heard, it is actually eight sounds that are being played 
simultaneously. In addition, with certain sounds like 
continuous sounds with long releases, even though the actual 
sound may not be audible to you, processing for playing the 
sound is still underway, so in these cases as well, the 
performance data can differ from the actual number of voices 
being played.
• Are you using a Patch that uses a lot of LFO?
Try changing to a different Patch. LFO processing invariably 
places a big load on the machine, so heavy use of the LFO slows 
down processing for the JUNO-G overall, which can end up 
having affecting the expression of sounds themselves.
• Is the data concentrated at the beginning of the beats in the 
sequence data?
Avoid overlapping data with the same timing by setting an 
offset of 1–2 clocks instead. Data may easily become 
concentrated at the beginning of the beats in the song data 
when, for example, the song data is input using Step Recording, 
or if the data is quantized after being input with a keyboard in 
real time. Because of this, large amounts of data are sent to the 
JUNO-G, and the processing for expressing sounds becomes 
bogged down.
• Is there a Program Change at the point where the song 
performance is sluggish?
Change the position of the Program Change. When Program 
Changes are inserted in songs, processing time for switching 
patches increases, which may then cause the performance to 
become sluggish.
• Is there a System Exclusive message at the point where the song 
performance is sluggish?
Move the location of the data. System Exclusive messages
