These are the same labels we saw when we held down SHIFT back on
Page 8.
Each of these labels corresponds to the button roughly beneath it.
Whenever the soft buttons are active on the JUNO-Gi, you’ll see their
labels onscreen. In this booklet, when we want you to press a soft
button, we’ll identify it by its number and show its current onscreen
label in parentheses. For example, when we want you to press the
on/off switch for the Upper 1 tone, we’ll say “Press 1 (U1).”

4 While holding down SHIFT, press 1 (U1) to turn off the Upper 1 tone.
5 Play a key on the keyboard. What you hear now is just the two Lower
tones playing Soft Pad 2.
Though Lower 1 and 2 are playing the same tone, they’re tuned very
differently to create a more interesting sound together.
6 Press 4 (L2) to turn off Lower Tone 2, and then play the keyboard.
You now hear Lower 1 all by itself—it’s pretty low in pitch. In fact, Soft
Pad 2 is tuned down by an octave for this live set.
7 Press 3 (L1) to turn off Lower 1, and then press 4 (L2) to turn Lower 2
back on so we can hear its tuning: It’s much higher. In fact, it’s tuned
7 semitone steps up.
8 Press 3 (L1) to turn Lower 1 back on and listen to the two tones
together.
Special Live Sets
A press of the SPECIAL LIVE SET button reveals more complex live sets. We’ll
point out a few to give you an idea of the possibilities. Let’s start at the
top—the live set you get when your press the SPECIAL button: SPECIAL:001
QuickBells. It’s a good example of a few things you can do in a live set.
1 Take a few moments to play some notes and chords up and down the
keyboard—QuickBells is a rich, complex sound with a tinkling series
of notes within it.
2 Let’s see what it is we’re hearing. Hold down SHIFT and press SPLIT to
go to the LAYER/SPLIT screen for this live set.
We can see that QuickBells uses three tones. The
• Lower 1 tone—uses Soft Pad 2.
• Lower 2 tone—also uses Soft Pad 2.
• Upper 1 tone—uses Toy Box.
QuickBells is a layered sound that uses these three tones together.
You can easily turn tones on and off, and doing so will help us isolate
what each tone contributes to QuickBells’ sound.
A Short Detour to Talk About the JUNO-Gi Soft Buttons...
The buttons beneath the display numbered from 1 to 6 are “soft
buttons,” which means their behavior changes depending on what
you’re doing and what’s on the display. Here’s what we mean.
3 Hold down the SHIFT button—along the lower edge of the screen,
you can now see labels of the live set’s tone switches, a LIVE SET
button, and an EFFECT button. If you let go of SHIFT, the labels
disappear, so keep holding it down for now.
