Playing/Recording Patterns (PATTERN SEQUENCER) 

The pattern sequencer is a function that lets you record your keyboard performance  and knob movements, and then play them back repeatedly. The recorded data is  called a “pattern,” and you can record and save patterns of up to eight measures. 

5 A pattern consists of tracks 1–8, and recording occurs on the currently selected  track. 

5 The patterns are organized into 32 preset patterns (PRST) and 128 user patterns  (USER), and are saved in a “pattern bank.”

Appendix 

Troubleshooting 

If the JUNO-DS does not function in the way you expect, first check the following points. If this does not resolve the problem, consult your dealer or a nearby Roland service  center. 

Problem Cause/Action Page Make sure that the JUNO-DS’s AC adaptor is correctly connected to an AC outlet and to the rear panel power connector, and that the adaptor itself and  

AC power cord are connected correctly. p. 3 

The power does not turn on 

There is no sound 

A specific Part does not sound 

When I play the keyboard, notes do  not stop 

Microphone sound is not output Error Messages 

If you connect the AC adaptor and turn on the power when batteries are installed, the AC adaptor will be used preferentially. Even if batteries are installed, the  power will not turn on unless the AC adaptor is connected to an AC outlet. 

If you’re using batteries, disconnect the AC adaptor from the JUNO-DS. If batteries are installed, connecting or disconnecting the power cord from the outlet or  connecting or disconnecting the DC plug of the AC adaptor while the JUNO-DS is turned on will cause the power to turn off. Is the power for connected amps and speakers turned on? 

Could you have lowered the volume of your connected equipment? 

Is the [MASTER VOLUME] knob turned all the way down? p. 5 Have connections been made correctly? p. 3 Can you hear sound through headphones? 

If there is sound in the headphones, it is possible that the connection cables are broken, or that your amp/mixer has malfunctioned. Check your cables and amp/ mixer system once again. 

If you do not hear sound when you play the keyboard, check whether the Local Switch is turned OFF. 

Make sure that the Local Switch setting is turned on. p. 17 Could the level of the tone (patch) be too low? 

Check the level setting. 

Could the level setting be too low? 

In the “SOUND” system settings, check the “Master Level” setting. p. 16 Could the keyboard switch be off? 

Turn the keyboard switch on. For details, refer to “Parameter Guide (English)” (PDF). 

Could a part be muted? 

Turn mute off. For details, refer to “Parameter Guide (English)” (PDF). 

Are the Effect settings correct? 

Check the Effect settings ON or OFF. 

Could the volume have been lowered by a MIDI message (volume message or expression message) received from the computer or by operating the pedal? Could the patch’s tones be turned off? 

Turn the Tone Switch “ON.” For details, refer to “Parameter Guide (English)” (PDF). 

Has the volume level of the part been lowered? 

Check the level of each part. 

Could the [LEVEL] sliders be lowered? p. 2 Is the pedal polarity reversed? 

In the “PEDAL” system settings, check the “Control Pedal Polarity” or “Hold Pedal Polarity” setting. p. 16 Check the MIC [LEVEL] knob of the rear panel and [MIC IN] LEVEL slider. p. 8 Could the Mic In level be 0? 

In the “MIC IN SETTINGS” system settings, check the “Mic In Level” setting. p. 16 Could you be using a condenser microphone? 

The JUNO-DS does not support condenser microphones. 

If an incorrect operation is performed, or if processing could not be performed as you specified, an error message appears. 

Refer to the explanation for the error message that appears, and take the appropriate action. 

Message Meaning Action Page Battery Low! The battery has run down. Replace the batteries, or use an AC adaptor. p. 3 Incorrect File! This is a file that the JUNO-DS is unable to play/import. Do not use this file. 

MIDI Buffer Full! An unusually large amount of MIDI data was received, and could not  

be processed. Reduce the amount of MIDI messages that are being transmitted. 

MIDI Offline! The MIDI IN connection was broken. Check that there is no problem with the MIDI cable connected to the JUNO-DS’s MIDI IN,  and that the MIDI cable was not disconnected. 

No More Favorites! No more favorites have been registered. Check the currently selected favorite number and the direction (“FAV-UP” or “FAV-DOWN”)  that’s assigned to the pedal. 

Not Found! The file was not found on the USB flash drive. Make sure that the file exists on the USB flash drive. Now Playing! Since the JUNO-DS is playing, this operation cannot be executed. Stop playback before you execute the operation. Now Recording! Since the JUNO-DS is recording, this operation cannot be executed. Stop recording before you execute the operation. The maximum number of notes that can be recorded in one pattern  

has been exceeded; the pattern cannot be recorded any further. 

Pattern Full! Read Error! 

This indication may appear if a large amount of data, such as Delete unneeded data from the pattern that you’re recording. p. 14 movements of the Control knobs, is being recorded. No further  

pattern recording is possible. 

Failed to load data from USB flash drive. Make sure that USB flash drive is correctly connected. It may be that the file is damaged. Do not use this file. This file cannot be loaded since its format is incorrect. 

Rec Overflow! Since a large amount of recorded data was input all at once, it could  

not be processed correctly. Reduce the amount of recorded data. p. 14 

Sys Mem Damaged! It is possible that the contents of system memory have been  damaged. 

Please execute a Factory Reset. 

If this does not resolve the problem, contact your dealer or a nearby Roland  service center. 

p. 18 

USB Mem NotReady! USB flash drive is not connected. Connect USB flash drive. 

Memory Full! Import is not possible because user memory is full. Delete unneeded samples (patches). p. 9 Failed to write data to USB flash drive. Make sure that USB flash drive is correctly connected. 

Write Error! 

Data cannot be written because the USB flash drive has no more free  space. 

Delete unneeded files from the USB flash drive. Alternatively, use a different USB flash  drive device, one that has more free space available. 

The file or the USB flash drive itself is write protected. Make sure that the file or the USB flash drive is not write protected.

USING THE UNIT SAFELY  WARNING 

 WARNING 

 CAUTION 

Concerning the Auto Off function 

The power to this unit will be turned off automatically  after a predetermined amount of time has passed since  it was last used for playing music, or its buttons or  controls were operated (Auto Off function). If you do not want  the power to be turned off automatically, disengage the Auto  Off function (p. 16). 

Use only the stand that is recommended 

This unit should be used only with a stand that is  recommended by Roland. 

Do not place in a location that is unstable 

When using the unit with a stand recommended by  Roland, the stand must be carefully placed so it is level  and sure to remain stable. If not using a stand, you still  need to make sure that any location you choose for placing the  unit provides a level surface that will properly support the unit,  and keep it from wobbling. 

Precautions regarding placement of this unit on a stand Be sure to follow the instructions in the “Parameter Guide  (English)” (PDF) carefully when placing this unit on a  stand. 

If it is not set up properly, you risk creating an unstable  situation which could lead to the unit falling or the stand  toppling, and may result in injury. 

Use only the supplied AC adaptor and the correct voltage Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with the  unit. Also, make sure the line voltage at the installation  matches the input voltage specified on the AC adaptor’s  body. Other AC adaptors may use a different polarity, or  be designed for a different voltage, so their use could result in  damage, malfunction, or electric shock. 

Use only the supplied power cord 

Use only the attached power cord. Also, the supplied  power cord must not be used with any other device. 

Use only the specified stand(s) 

This unit is designed to be used in combination with  specific stands (*1) manufactured by Roland. If used  in combination with other stands, you risk sustaining  injuries as the result of this product dropping down or toppling  over due to a lack of stability. 

Evaluate safety issues before using stands 

Even if you observe the cautions given in the owner’s  manual, certain types of handling may allow this product  to fall from the stand, or cause the stand to overturn.  Please be mindful of any safety issues before using this product. 

Handle the ground terminal carefully 

If you remove the screw from the ground terminal, be  sure to replace it; don’t leave it lying around where it  could accidently be swallowed by small children. When  refastening the screw, make that it is firmly fastened, so  it won’t come loose. 

Take care not to get burned 

Batteries may reach a high temperature; please be careful  to avoid burning yourself. 

IMPORTANT NOTES 

*1: (61-key model) KS-18Z/KS-12, (76-key model) KS-18Z/KS-12, (88-key model) KS-18Z/KS-12/KS-G8B

Power Supply: Use of Batteries 

• If the batteries run extremely low, the sound may distort, but  this does not indicate a malfunction. If this occurs, please  replace the batteries or use the included AC adaptor. 

• If operating this unit on batteries, please use rechargeable Ni MH batteries. 

• If operating this unit on batteries, please disconnect the AC  adaptor from this unit. 

• Even if batteries are installed, the unit will turn off if you  connect or disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet while  the unit is turned on, or if you connect or disconnect the AC  adaptor from the unit. When this occurs, unsaved data may  be lost. You must turn off the power before you connect or  disconnect the power cord or AC adaptor. 

Placement 

• Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard. This can  be the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to produce  sound. 

• Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on  which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar  the surface.  

Care of the Keyboard 

• Do not write on the keyboard with any pen or other implement,  and do not stamp or place any marking on the instrument. Ink  will seep into the surface lines and become unremovable. 

• Do not affix stickers on the keyboard. You may be unable to  remove stickers that use strong adhesives, and the adhesive  may cause discoloration. 

• To remove stubborn dirt, use a commercially available  keyboard cleaner that does not contain abrasives. Start  by wiping lightly. If the dirt does not come off, wipe using  gradually increasing amounts of pressure while taking care not  to scratch the keys. 

Repairs and Data 

• Before sending the unit away for repairs, be sure to make a  backup of the data stored within it; or you may prefer to write  down the needed information. Although we will do our utmost  to preserve the data stored in your unit when we carry out  repairs, in some cases, such as when the memory section is  physically damaged, restoration of the stored content may  be impossible. Roland assumes no liability concerning the  restoration of any stored content that has been lost. 

Additional Precautions 

• Any data stored within the unit can be lost as the result of  equipment failure, incorrect operation, etc. To protect yourself  against the irretrievable loss of data, try to make a habit of  creating regular backups of the data you’ve stored in the unit. 

• Roland assumes no liability concerning the restoration of any  stored content that has been lost. 

• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display. 

• The sound of keys being struck and vibrations produced by  playing an instrument can be transmitted through a floor or  wall to an unexpected extent. Please take care not to cause  annoyance to others nearby. 

• Use only the specified expression pedal (EV-5; sold separately).  By connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing  malfunction and/or damage to the unit. 

• Continuous playing may cause dis-coloration of the pad, but  this will not affect the pad’s function. 

• Do not use connection cables that contain a built-in resistor. 

Using External Memories 

• Please observe the following precautions when handling  external memory devices. Also, make sure to carefully observe  all the precautions that were supplied with the external  memory device. 

• Do not remove the device while reading/writing is in  progress. 

• To prevent damage from static electricity, discharge all static  electricity from your person before handling the device. 

Ground Terminal 

• Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you  may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the  surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this device,  microphones connected to it, or the metal portions of other  objects. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which  is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about  this, connect the ground terminal (p. 3) with an external  ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur,  depending on the particulars of your installation. If you are  unsure of the connection method, contact the nearest Roland  Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on  the “Information.” 

Unsuitable places for connection 

• Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution) • Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion) 

• Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in  the event of lightning) 

Intellectual Property Right 

• It is forbidden by law to make an audio recording, video  recording, copy or revision of a third party’s copyrighted work  (musical work, video work, broadcast, live performance, or  other work), whether in whole or in part, and distribute, sell,  lease, perform, or broadcast it without the permission of the  copyright owner.
