Select the E Beat value—shown with a blue arrow below—and turn 4
the Value dial clockwise until it’ll go no farther. That’s the end of your
beat.
Press F5 (LOOP) so it’s checked if it isn’t already.

When you’re done, the screen should look like this (though your E
Beat value depends on how long your beat track is).
Now when you hit PLAY, you song plays over and over.
Sequencing MIDI Tracks
Press the PART MIXER button to display the PART MIXER 1
screen.
The PART MIXER screen shows you the controls with which you mix
your song’s MIDI tracks. It’s a good place for both selecting sounds
and mixing.
When we arrived on the PART MIXER screen, Part 10—and thus Track
10—was selected since we were just looking at our beat track. Let’s
select Part 1.
Press
2 5 twice to select the Part parameter’s value, and then use the
DEC button or the Value dial to select Part 1, so your PART MIXER
screen looks like this.
Part 1 is set to use the Juno-G Grand patch, which is fine for now. With
this part selected, we can play it from the keyboard.
Press the PLAY button and play along with your beat to figure out
what you want to do when you sequence the next MIDI track.
When you’ve got an idea you like, press the SONG button so you can 3
watch what you’re sequencing.
Return to the top of the song.
4
Press the REC button in the SONG RECORDER area to open the MIDI 5
Rec Standby (Real Time) window again.
Now that we’re about to actually play something, we do want a
6
countoff, so set Count In to 1 MEAS—this means that once you start
sequencing, you’ll have four beats to get ready before you need to
start playing your idea.
Press F4 (INPUT QTZ) to turn on Input Quantizing. Quantization
7
fixes timing mistakes you may make while playing the keyboard,
automatically moving your notes to the correct positions.
Quantizing works correctly when it’s set to the type of notes you’re
playing. By default, it’s set to 16th notes, which will usually work. If
however, you find it makes your playing sound wrong, you can undo the
track and try again with Input Quantizing turned on, or refer to Page 90
of the Owner’s Manual to learn how to adjust the quantization value.
By default, looping is turned off during sequencing. We’re going to
turn it on because it’ll allow us to show you some interesting things.
Press the LOOP button so it lights and the song plays over and over
8
during sequencing.
When you’ve made your settings, the MIDI Rec Standby (Real Time)
window should look like this.
Ready to sequence? Hit the PLAY button to start your four-beat 9
countoff.
After the four beats, play your idea.
10
When you’re done, we’ll show you why we turned looping on.
