Patch mode is great for live performance!
I
f you’re playing live, you’ll be using the JUNO-G as a simple “keyboard.” In such cases, it’s convenient to use
“Patch mode.” In Patch mode, the name o
f
the sound you’re playing is shown in big letters in the screen, so
i
t’s eas
y
to rea
d
even w
h
en
y
ou’re on stage
.
For more about Patch mode, refer to “Playing in Patch Mode” (p. 25) in the owner’s manual.
☞
In Patch mode
you use the
JUNO-G as one
single keyboard.
In Performance mode, up to 16
instruments can play simultane-
ously.
