Wonderful tutorial, was exactly what I was looking for!

[@jojoblablabla]

Just wish to say thanks for all the Juno ds tutorials, they are so well explained. Cheers.

[@stevecole3192]

My DS 88 just arrived. I am a total beginner and will be watching all of your tutorials. Thank you and blessings from Kansas~

[@PEL_man]

Just got my DS88 (so excited) and the first thing I couldn't figure out was how to save sounds for quick access. I'm "old" (65) and just now in my first band. Betting you have lots more to offer. Looking forward to viewing your other videos. Thx much.

[@CDO622]

Thanks for the tutorial! Very clear explanation. 100%

[@ibaneztwo]

Thanks for this. It appears that Roland put out a decent owners manual this time regarding instruction, but the font size is a bit small for me. Much prefer videos like these. Much appreciated, you’ve gotten yourself a subscriber here, thanks!😊

[@cskaplan]

Finally, I have been looking for this info since I got the keyboard.

[@stephenoconnor648]

Your uncorrupted brain is amazing! This is coming from a 68 year old who just purchased a Juno DS 76 after having owned a plethora of vintage synths since the early 70's. First gig with the new board this Friday. Need to have favorites in place and, kind sir, you were the key!

[@Exalter]

I'm so glad I could help! Thanks for the kind words!!

[@solojim]

Ha. 73 and just bought a DS76. Coming soon. Hope we have the same luck!

I love it. That’s really cool. The Juno reminds me of a glorified music computer.

Thanks!

Thank you!

[@RoyNovick-nn6mi]

I appreciate your tutorial. I liked the Vintage EP 1patch but can't locate it in either the onboard sounds or the Expansion Packs. Thanks very much.

[@brucelittle3958]

Great tutorial and thanks! I would like a tutorial on loading performance banks and sounds into the Juno DS from a USB and where these sounds end up on the DS with Do's and Don'ts. Best ways to organize sounds in a bank, also. Can a Duo sound be saved with both sounds?

[@thedarkfamilyhour]

This video was super helpful. Thank you. Two questions I would love to watch tutorial's on if it's possible. ONE * Can we split 4 or more sounds? and TWO * How to save an arpeggiated setting assigned to a specific sound in split mode assigned to the upper region. (opposed to the lower region.) I love my Juno DS but sometimes I get frustrated because I am still learning how to use it efficiently. The Dark Family Hour is just my KZbin channel. It's a 30 minute variety show. It's not Dark, it's just the name. Thank you! Peace~! Salane

[@dekzan]

Thanks. I have a hard time adjusting decay for acoustic pianos. When I go to performance, the sound quality decreases. Can you help ?

[@mister088]

Hi thx for the demo.. can you just use the number pad to call up sounds on the fly?

[@therailroadempire7993]

Nice video

[@Exalter]

Thanks!

[@MOISHE464]

hope you can help me..... many of my favorites would ideally have keys already transposed to make it easier to play.....but, I seem to be having trouble saving favorites with that feature....what am I doing wrong!!?? thanks, Mitch

[@thephoenixchant]

Can you assign Favourites to a pedal board and/or each PAD?

[@josueprophetcharles1627]

Thanks man now I can save my own sound, the only thing you did not show how to remove them if you want to change them to different ones.

[@Exalter]

As I think I said in another comment, I think the only way to remove favorites is to save new sounds over the old ones. As far as your sounds not saving, I would make sure you are in the right bank (I have made that mistake many times!).

[@douglasmcdouglason9461]

What a great video! What patches would you recommend in favorites for a gigging musician? Mostly pop rock stuff.

[@Exalter]

I would just explore around, there's a ton of great patches and everyone has their preference

[@ray21joshua]

Great Video! Your channel has narrowed down my decision of buying one of these. Quick question though: Does this piano cut off when switching sounds? In a live performance at church I could want one sound for the verse and another for the chorus; would they abruptly stop?

[@Exalter]

Glad my videos helped! It completely depends what sound you are switching to. With some sounds the original sound abruptly stops, with pianos they seem to sustain if you switch sounds. What I would recommend is using the Dual Mode and switch between sounds with the faders. That way you don't have to deal with worrying about whether the sound will cut out.

[@chazpatton108]

@@ExalterI know this is 2 years old but on a similar topic. I made a four layer preform ace and I can only control the first two layers with fader 1 and 2 but 3 and 4 don’t do anything. How do I get all four faders to work as masters by default?

[@johnnyvlee]

This is useful, of course. But Roland does have a video explaining these same concepts. I wish Roland or you or someone would make a detailed video on editing patch/performance parameters to get a sound that you want. They have 3 MFX (multi-effects) but editing that to get, just for example, a sweep, like a phase shifting sound, is certainly not intuitive. THAT kind of detailed tutorial would be super helpful.

[@adrianubiaga421]

Thank you for the video! Is there a way to rename the different banks? For instance, the name of your song, allowing you to see which song are you at these moment during your live performance. Thanks!

[@Exalter]

Sadly, to my knowledge there is no way of renaming banks...

[@solojim]

Thanks for the instructional video, nicely done. When saving dual, is it possible to save the edits, such as the individual volume levels of the dual instruments?

[@Exalter]

Yes, I believe so!

[@Andf-kc4xx]

Hey! Great vid once again! Random question. How can you utilize the "dual" function on the Juno to record using "dual" patches into a DAW? I am currently using Logic Pro and find that when I try to record into the software with Dual engaged only the first patch sound is recorded but not the other dually. What could be the issue? Regards.

[@Exalter]

I don't know. I have always layered sounds in my DAW by just recording a bunch of different times. That way I can control the mix of sounds in my DAW instead of picking the balance before they are burned to a single audio file. You might play around with the input settings in Logic and See if you can find anything there!

[@Andf-kc4xx]

@@Exalter Makes sense, I think you’re right on that one! Thanks again, also I bought an SM58 and am having such a great time with the vocoder. Thank YOU so much for your video. You’re awesome man!!

[@alan93]

I used to save sounds to favorites but then realized i could select them with an external midi keyboard (its tricky but can be done). So when I select a song on my yamaha it sends the patch change to the Roland and selects the performance automatically. What I can't figure out is how to use the assign knobs, can anybody explain those?

[@nathanwahl9224]

Thanky kindly, that helped me understand the Favorites a lot better. But can I ask if you or anyone knows: What all gets saved in a Favorite? Does it preserve splits and layers, so I can use those functions? For instance, I'm playing bass with my left hand and piano with my right. I'd like to turn a string pad layer on and off. Would that save with the favorite, or would I need to make two Favorites and switch back and forth? (The second one would be with the layer turned on.) Also, do all the effects and volumes get saved along with the sounds? Thanks again, I'm going to watch some of your other videos now.

[@Exalter]

You can save any split or dual patch into favorites! For your piano and string pad question, it would probably be easiest to set a dual mode patch and use the sliders to control the volume. Finally, yes effects and patch volumes get saved along with the sounds!

[@nathanwahl9224]

@@Exalter Excellent, thank you so much!!! That's what I was wondering. For the bass/piano plus pads, I think I'll skip the Split function, and just assign the bass range on the left two physical octaves (as Part 1 or 2), which you can specify in the user tone, and whatever else I want to control on the right three octaves in the other Part. So the ones I want to vary will be on the sliders (Parts 1 and 2.) Any other pads and such that don't vary can go in Parts 3-16. I hope that makes sense. The Split function just seems too restrictive in a live setting, although it is handy. Plus on the user tones, I'll have the bass tone mostly panned to the left output (90%/10%, whatever that is, L48 I think), which goes to my bass amp, and the rest panned 40/60 (R18?), mostly to the right output, which goes to the PA. I'll still get a little stereo imaging, and won't need a separate monitor since my bass amp is always behind me. I'll hear a little from the right from the bass amp, and some from the PA monitor I already have. Your tutorials are right on target, nice work, I'm sure all your subscribers appreciate it, I know I do.

[@amyramirez1163]

How do you section keys for certain sounds? Like a split point but not using the split point because you can only use two voicing with split point. I would like to have 3-4 voicings on same setting. Thanks

[@Exalter]

I made a video on it! Here is a link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/boilaKipmJeNmas

[@Alex-fq9io]

hey man really helpful video. how did you record yourself playing the keyboard for this video?

[@Exalter]

I am assuming you mean the audio. I recorded through a USB cable connected to my computer for this video!

[@junwelvillaruel2531]

are they thesame process on XPS-30 sir?asking from Philippines❤

[@faizalshamchannel9779]

I just bought juno ds61....wondering how do I save the patches.....this vid help me a lot....thanks bro..

[@cezarcerbam6684]

Thanks for the tips! Can you save Duals and Splits same way?

[@Exalter]

Yes!!!

[@SMarie2222]

What sustain pedal do you use?

[@lyndasperformancepony2319]

Great vid. Did as instructed . So how do I keep the fav forever. I turned it back on and lost it all. Thanks

[@Exalter]

Huh, that is strange... I would recommend saving the favorites and then leaving the favorites section before you turn the Juno off. See if that works, if that doesn't work let me know and I can can do my best to help!

[@plantpoweredmuscle]

Does anyone know of this is possible on Juno X?

[@dominickmasonry3878]

Can you do one on how to use the write?

[@josueprophetcharles1627]

And also after I turned the piano off, I cannot access those sound that I have saved

[@paomaiorana]

Hi, question: it means that you can save 10 favorites per bank? Example: Bank 0, you can save 10 sounds, in Bank 1 you can save another 10 sounds, and so on? Thank u!

[@Exalter]

Yes, you are exactly right!

[@elonthebass6870]

how do you delete sounds

[@sibow21]

When I try to do this following your advice saving two sounds together, it says write performance, so I give it a name and it names the bank and doesn’t save the sounds. Any advice on how to solve this?

[@Exalter]

It sounds like you are saving the dual patch instead of saving the dual patch in the bank. Sorry, that wasn't very clear... What I would try is making a patch/performance, and saving it in the user banks. Then, after you have saved it there, try putting it into the favorites bank. Hope this helps!

[@SnakeySue]

So weird followed the instructions several times, I've checked other tutorials I managed to save some sounds in the past by trial and error, but I can't save anything by this method, I wish I knew where I'm going wrong. :(

[@VonAdrian]

How do you erase the saved favorites?

[@Exalter]

To replace a saved favorite you just have to save a new sound to the favorite slot. It will overwrite your old sound. Hope this helps!

[@joeblow593]

Well done. So there are 10 banks and each bank holds 10 slots, is that how that works? How about saving banks to a USB stick, how would that work.

[@Exalter]

Yes, there are 10 banks and within each of those banks you can save 10 patches/performances! I have never tried to save things on a USB stick so I don't know how, sorry.

[@ChrisValera]

Man in the Mirror

[@mattroesch2532]

how about deleting sounds you no longer need?

[@Exalter]

I don't know if there is a way to delete favorites, but you can save new favorites over old ones.

[@motard2010]

you didint execute how to save dual, you skipped it

[@leonwitherspoon5927]

😅

[@navyservant52njo92]

Again MAKES NO SENSE WHATSOEVER. you saved it on 2, and it saves it as 2 zero????

[@sorcelord65]

lol it does… you save it in bank 2… bank 2 has 10 slots 0-10. So the first save will be 0. So it’s bank 2..#0 I hope that helps … at least that’s what I got

[@benediktamrhein5639]

Major disappointment. You are only able to save 10 favorites???

[@Exalter]

Nope! 10 banks of 10 favorites each. So 100 in total

[@benediktamrhein5639]
