If the REC SOURCE SELECT AUDIO IN button is also it, press it once to
turn it off.
For this tutorial, we’ll record the live set using its own effects, and
without using the digital recorder’s insert effects, which we’ll get to
in a bit.
4 Press 2 (KEYBOARD) so the button lights red, and ON is highlighted
on the display, as shown above.
5 On the keyboard, play the music you want to record, and watch the
INPUT meters on the display.
6 Adjust the Input Level value by turning the Value dial until the meters
show a level that’s as loud as possible without causing “CLIP” to
appear in the display.
You’re now ready to record the JUNO-Gi’s own sound. Press EXIT and
jump ahead in this booklet to “Recording a Track” on Page 20.
Chaining Rhythm Patterns in Arrange Mode
So far, we’ve been in the rhythm’s Pattern mode, where a single pattern
plays over and over. This mode’s great for jamming and setting your tempo.
However, when you’re getting down to the business of devising a song’s
drum track, you’ll want to use Arrange mode to chain patterns together in
the desired order over the course of the entire song. To learn about using
Arrange mode, see Page 123 of the JUNO-Gi Owner’s Manual.
Getting Ready to Record a Track
There are two types of things you’ll record in the digital recorder:
• The sound of a JUNO-Gi live set being played—When you want to
record the JUNO-Gi’s own sounds, there’s nothing to physically set up.
Recording occurs through internal connections already in place.
• Live audio coming into the JUNO-Gi’s inputs—To record a live singer or
player, or audio from an external device such as a personal music player,
you connect what it is you want to record to the JUNO-Gi’s rear-panel
inputs.
Since we can’t know exactly what it is you want to record, we’ll show you
how easy it is to record either type of track.
Preparing to Record the JUNO-Gi Itself
Here’s how to record the sound of the JUNO-Gi in its digital recorder:
1 On the Live Set Play screen—which you can toggle back to using the
RECORDER VIEW button—select the live set you want to record.
2 You can press RECORDER VIEW to return to the RECORDER VIEW
screen, or stay on the Live Set Play screen if you prefer.
3 Press the REC SOURCE SELECT KEYBOARD button to light it.
