Roland JUNO-X Reference Manual

Tone
The sounds that you play from the keyboard are called “tones.”
A tone consists of an oscillator (OSC) that creates the basis of the
sound, along with a lter, eects (MFX) and other components that
modify the sound. The types of oscillator, lter, and eect dier
depending on the model.
Model
A “model” is a sound engine such as that of the JUNO-106, JUNO-60 or XV-5080, which
reproduces the sound of a specic vintage synthesizer, or which oers distinctive
functionality.
The JUNO-X features numerous models. You can use a single JUNO-X as if you owned
a variety of dierent synthesizers.
Each model has distinctive parameters, eects and other elements, and you can use
these to create tones that are unique to those models.
Category
The classications of instruments or types of sounds such as “Synth Bass” or “Ensemble
Strs” are called “categories.”
OSC (Oscillator)
This section generates an audio waveform according to the pitch
information that is sent from the keyboard. The pitch is determined by
how rapidly the waveform repeats (or in other words, its frequency).
Faster repetition (higher frequency) means higher pitch, and slower
repetition (lower frequency) means lower pitch.
LFO (Low frequency oscillator)
Like the oscillator, the LFO section generates a waveform at a specied
frequency.
The LFO waveform is applied to the OSC, FILTER and AMP signal to
create various eects. For instance, you can apply an LFO to the OSC
section, to cyclically raise and lower the pitch for a vibrato eect.
MEMO
The LFO waveform can be seen in the MODEL BANK TOP screen.
