Roland JUNO-Gi - The JUNO-Gi’s USB Song Player; How the USB Song Player Works

Next, you format the stick for use in the JUNO-Gi, as described on Page 79 in
the JUNO-Gi Owner’s Manual.
After formatting, you move the USB stick to an unused USB port on your
computer and drag the files you want to use right onto the stick’s icon, thus
copying them to its root-level directory. Safely eject the stick from your
computer.
Each computer operating system has its own way of safely ejecting
a USB stick. See your computer’s documentation to learn the safe
method for your computer.
Re-insert the USB stick into the JUNO-Gi, and press the SONG PLAYER SONG
LIST button. This reveals the USB SONG PLAYER screen and a list of the files
on the stick.
Select any song you want to play, and press the SONG PLAYER PLAY/STOP
button to begin playback. Press the button again to end playback.
The USB SONG PLAYER offers some handy onscreen playback tools and
options.
• Use 1 (BWD) or 2 (FWD)—to move back and forward through the song,
respectively.
• Press 3 (LEVEL)—to display individual volume controls for audio tracks
and SMFs.
The JUNO-Gi’s USB Song Player
The JUNO-Gi’s USB Song Player provides a fast and easy way to
play backing tracks onstage you can perform along with. The Song
Player plays files from a USB stick.
We recommend using the Roland M-UF1G USB memory stick.
Any USB memory stick should work, though Roland obviously
can’t guarantee the quality of other manufacturers’ products.
The Song Player can play audio files in the following formats:
• WAV • AIFF • MP3
In addition, it can play .mid files containing SMFs (“Standard MIDI Files”).
These files, available from a range of sources, typically contain sequenced
arrangements of popular songs. When the JUNO-Gi plays SMFs, it uses the
JUNO-Gi’s 256 built-in General MIDI 2 sounds and nine GM2 drum sets.
In our InFocus booklet An Introduction to MIDI you’ll find more
information about Standard MIDI Files.
