Just got my Juno DS88 today, and I love it. I was so glad to find your videos to help me to understand my DS88 Thank you so much for these great videos.
Great job explaining all of this as it has been built. It is very helpful, but as a musician and a consumer "very easy" doesn't involve 10 to 27 steps to combining 2 sounds, savving and assigning it to a patch button. I have thought for a long time that Roland and other manufacturers could greatly simplify all of this. Very easy is On/ OFF, Volume knob, a save button, a dial that says "save to" and an option list like "Browse" in Windows. --- 1, 2, 3 and done. --- Find, change, add A, D and E & remove L, K and Y via a check box next to them on a list, save to and press save. That would be a lot better. This is more like car stereos where they refuse to just put a clock set button. You know? Add a button! I'll pay the extra $40! I used to own a Roland VS2000. It had a lot of great features but was again overly complicated. It's like DOS! Keep it simple. I have a computer based studio now. I now have a Juno-DS right here and it's the same long road to my destinations. Once the presets are finally completed, then yeah ... that's easy to use. I just think that being this close to the 2020 timeline, technology could be much more CUT TO THE CHASE.
@@officialWWM I agree, very poor user interface setup. We are in an era of smart home devices that are super simple to use, yet keyboard technology is stuck in 20 year old tech. Why? It's like they invest in R&D for one board and just ride that antiquated tech for over a decade.
Kashan Akins I think that's exactly what they do! Let's face it, the Juno DS is a pretty old design now and well over due for an update. I bought mine last Christmas and was very hesitant at the time due to the user interface. I thought "oh well, I'm sure I'll figure it out". 7 months on, I'm still only using the most basic functions cause the more in depth stuff just does my head in! I'm either going to sell it or just put it in my studio for recording, cause it does have some decent sounds in it. I'm going to buy a Korg SV2 for live playing. I think it's a much more organic playing experience.
@@officialWWM JUNO DS has PC/Mac editor and it should make sound editing much easier at deeper levels. Obviously, Korg SV2 would be much better keyboard for live performance and with better sounds (no surprise, it is twice more expensive than DS-88). But keep in mind, SV2 is DP/EP/Organ keyboard awith no synth/pad/oriental/guitar sounds, no drums, no 16 parts. In short, it is in different category and you shouldn't to treat it as replacement for DS.
Ali Caramba there is no PC editor for Juno, at least, I've never seen one! I play rock, blues etc, so have very little need for crazy synth sounds or fake guitar sounds. I certainly don't need oriental sounds. Sure, the SV2 is more expensive but I think it's totally worth it.
Hey, thank you for all your help. You have really helped me to grow in my understanding of operating the Juno DS, saving my favorite patches and my hats off to you. Hope you keep on doing it brother.
For future reference, what I really want is the ability to tinker with EVERYTHING, rhythm and arpeggios included, and have a simple sequence to save the entire setup with no “remember to do *this* (and that...) first “ prerequisite tedium to trip up the process. The DS sounds so much better than my old Casio, but registration memory is one detail Casio got right. P.S. it’s a helpful video, and I definitely used it to learn to save favorite patches. The performance feature needs more love, though.
So I thought about this a minute. The DS has a USB flash drive. Skip the limited internal memory, and save settings in named files on the external drive. Save everything in effect. Knobs, pads, samples, patch edits, layers, splits, loop sequences, arpeggio settings, tempo, rhythm pattern and drum kit selection. Test criteria: if the user has to edit ANYTHING after loading such a file to get back to what was playing yesterday, the feature isn’t done yet.
This is amazing thank you so much I know it's a few years too late but I've just bought this keyboard this week. I'm using it to send 16 midi tracks into my Cubase daw. I am assuming that I can save the performances of all 16 sounds into this keyboard. How many different times/performances can I save onto the keyboard thank you in advance if you're still monitoring this video that is ha ha
YES! How have they not already done that! This current video is one of the most useful and well explained ones that I have seen. Roland realizes what we want to know here. Cut to the chase! Show us how to add the Leslie effect, how to control the speed of the Leslie and how to set a controller pedal to control Leslie speed if possible. I am asking for the Roland DS-88.
Say for instant you save a sound in user then save it to favorite, what if u delete the user u saved, is it automatically going to delete from the favorite u saved it on?
Hello, I've just saved a performance with eight different sounds in eight different channels, hall we say. When I write and send it to user bank one the first instrument goes blank and the Asterix remains I am following your instructions to the T any ideas?
Hi Ed, you always make easy to understand tutorial videos on Roland products. My question: In the Juno DS. Can a volume control pedal be assigned split/layered performance? It's possible on my RD2000. I have not seen anywhere in the Juno documentation and RUclips videos where this is possible...
I'm slow with this stuff and you're fast. Ha ha. Sorry of catching it all though. My question is this: can I SPLIT two skins and save them to favorites? I was trying to do that last night and couldn't figure it out. Thanks!
Hi there following question I've loaded all 10 expansion packs and find some sounds that I like on each pack. I want to put the sounds together and save them in a single bin file so that I can always use them even when the USB stick is not connected. Which program can I use to read in the bin files and rearrange them to get a favorite bin file? greetings
I'm doing what you are showing us to do, but it isn't working! I cannot get the settings! I cannot set them on the bank that I want! Not even my first instrument! I am using patch mode!
He's going a little too fast for me on this video. I wish he kept in mind us beginners :-) Still like the video tho. I just have to keep rewinding to see what he's actually doing.
I agree. Anyone who has purchased this keyboard is a beginner, right? Don’t see where you can slow the video down like ‘forthtunz’ mentions. Still have to pause and rewind to write things down 😅
hello, one question, do you know how to do in performance mode that two sounds sound on pad 1, for example, piano Ep/orchestra, like in split, so far I know how to do it, but then, for example, if I play pad 2 or 3, 4 I want other sounds that sound only for example sax, guitar without pad 1 sounding
Thanks for the great videos! Is there a published list of the sound libraries available for download somewhere? I did not see a listing in the PDF manual.
How do you delete a Performance? I see nowhere in the manuals or on keyboard of how to do this. Also, what does "Performance Initialize" do? I don't want to press ok without knowing what this does! Again, no mention of this in manuals.
Can you switch between favourites using Roland AX-07's Bank select and "Program Change" buttons/the arrows of "next" and "previous"? I'd like to easily choose and switch between my favourite Juno sounds with the Keytar.
How can i master the volume of my Juno DS between Sounds for live performances...would like to save the level of volume for seperate sounds.Any option for this?
This is always the first thing I do with a new keyboard or synth, balance the volume from patch to patch. With the Juno DS it seems to me that for every factory sound that you want to edit you need to save to a user patch and call that sound up from the user bank from now on.
Can you change from favorite to favorite smoothly? If I'm holding my sustain and switch from my current favorite to another, will the notes that my sustain is holding onto abruptly stop?
@@thomasmason782 Thanks, Thomas! Been holding of on the DS purchase myself. So many great sub $1K keyboards out there! Let me know if you decide on one. Take care!
@rolandjunods company Is anyone can tell me why my jumo ds 76 changing it own self cjange alone going tranpose alone sometimes change itselt to vocoder sometimes anywhere..what the hek hapening to juno ds is anyone can tell what is the problem of d juno ds???
Why is it when I hit piano multiple times are multiple patches it goes through? How do I set up the other categories to do the same thing? It's much more convenient than guessing on favorites.

First Thank U 4 All The Informative Videos You Post. I Have a Question and Its Killing Me. I Have The Roland Juno-DS 76 and I Was Using a Patch Called Taxi a Couple of Times and Now Its No Where To Be Found. I Found It Under The Piano Patch and Now Its Missing. Please Help on Where It Could Have Gone. Thank U in Advance. Ice
At Roland’s website you can download the Juno DS parameter guide. You will find a list of location and names of patches and tones and an explanation of the parameters.
Hi!I am want to save a KOTO and Strings Dual patch as a favorite. How do I save a changed setting/patch so that I can save it as a favorite? (I'm a new owner and get as far as WRITE but panic thinking I will alter something already there lol)
If you hit WRITE, you will ONLY be ALLOWED to write it to a "User" location - With that system, Roland always automatically preserves whatever it is that you wouldn't want to lose. So go ahead, write away! :)
PS: Robee, after you have WRITtEn it into a (User) Performance memory, then you can follow Ed's steps in the above video, to save that Koto-Strings Dual sound as Favorite, the way he does with the Rock & Roll Brass/West Coast ep Performance he created.
Sheesh. I bought the DS88 a year ago .. spent two days saving my favorite presets to a USER bank ... now I can't find the dang USER bank ! ... I'll find it.
I thought it was too and then I bought a FAO seven and found out that you can do up to 16 splits on the DS I still have my DS! Look at the video on splits
I was wondering (can't figure it out) if you can save the transpose when you bank a favorite. It seems to not save to the favorite. Makes it hard when you play songs in a row and need to change keys if it won't bank the transpose with the sounds that are saved. Can it be done? Thank you very much.
Yes, it can, but you need to transpose in this case not patch but waveforms patch consists of, then save new patch with new name and then add new patch to favorites list.
How many favorites can be saved? How many Performances can be saved? Not a single mention stated in the manual! Taking my New DS back tomorrow. Manual appears to have been written by CCP prison guards.
totally confused. too fast; not realizing student needs to be nurtured slowly. more these guys know less they know how to explain. I'll ho somewhere else, forget this crap
I came here because I am finding it difficult to figure out what everything on this keyboard does. There are cursor buttons and a jog dial but no logic as to which one to use for a particular task. You are calling the sounds "patches" harking back to a previous generation of synths. You should call them "sounds". A "performance" seems to be a group of sounds and settings that you want to recall later. If this was an APP these would be called "settings". The screen is a busy mess of small type that requires too many buttons to navigate.This video did nothing to make my understanding of it easier. You need some graphics to show the logic and structure of how all this actually fits together.
Lol, wow, what a wreck! It doesn't matter what something used to be called ie car, auto, sadan etc. Learn to speak the vernacular of the era you are in and of the equipment you are using, nothing before that matters, therefore, no confusion. It also sounds like you are trying to get way ahead of yourself and your skills and understanding. I found this vid nearly child like and extremely understandable and so very well done. Why? Years of experience. If you are finding something way to hard, it may not be the ppl trying to explain it to you, but rather you trying to do more than you are ready for at this point in your synthesizing experience. I see plenty of things I don't fully understand, so I dig deeper and research until I DO understand. This stuff is WORK to reach a certain level. Wanting it quick and easy will only slow you down. Too much on the screen? Too much INFORMATION? Seriously? I always want more. But then, I know what the information is or I research and learn it. I am NOT trying to be critical as much as point out this is more a matter of perception. Could the layout of the DS be better or easier? Sure, EVERY board could. That's why we voice our opinions to the companies so maybe the next board might be closer to that silver bullet board...and no, there isn't one. I find this board to be fairly easy to navigate while still requiring a bit of learning. Take your time and research ONE thing at a time until you understand it, then move on to the next, looking only for the things you need the most. Good luck!
For various reasons, each manufacturer uses different terms for the same things. Proprietary stuff I guess. Like on my Casio there are 16 Banks, each with 7 Registers, and for editing the tones, they are called Tones.
@@TheWelcome7 . Once you save a patch to favorites you can call it up anytime even after you turn the power off. To create an original patch press menu edit enter - patch edit enter - then you can scroll through the tabs and parameters. Theres a huge amount of parameters to create sound. Then press write and name it and save it. You can combine patches in favorites. Download the parameter guide from Roland website to help you navigate the parameters.
This is one of my favorite roland keyboards.
Thank you so much, Ed. Your tutorials really do the trick when the manual isn't for beginners.
I am returning this bastard. God this is complciated. Back to the VR Combo we go

I see plenty of things I don't fully understand, so I dig deeper and research until I DO understand. This stuff is WORK to reach a certain level. Wanting it quick and easy will only slow you down. Too much on the screen? Too much INFORMATION? Seriously? I always want more. But then, I know what the information is or I research and learn it. I am NOT trying to be critical as much as point out this is more a matter of perception. Could the layout of the DS be better or easier? Sure, EVERY board could. That's why we voice our opinions to the companies so maybe the next board might be closer to that silver bullet board...and no, there isn't one. I find this board to be fairly easy to navigate while still requiring a bit of learning. Take your time and research ONE thing at a time until you understand it, then move on to the next, looking only for the things you need the most. Good luck!
You are not familiar with synth stuff and that's it. Try PC/Mac editor for DS (available for download on Roland site).
For various reasons, each manufacturer uses different terms for the same things. Proprietary stuff I guess. Like on my Casio there are 16 Banks, each with 7 Registers, and for editing the tones, they are called Tones.
@@nathanwahl9224 That makes sense. If you are familiar with one brand you can play any of their instruments
can i set this saved patch to one of hands in split mode? and other favorite patch to other hand?
didn't understand nothing of your "lesson"
Juno Diaz or Ed DS? 😂😂😂

Convoluted, more than complicated.
It’s obviously a very legacy design in the UI.
honestly it's a piece crap !!!!!
Edit a patch or performance to your liking. Save your edits then assign your patch or performance to favorites for easy access.
Yeah but what happens once you turn the power off and you arrive to the gig? Does it save it so you’re ready play and use those in the memory bank?
@@TheWelcome7 . Once you save a patch to favorites you can call it up anytime even after you turn the power off. To create an original patch press menu edit enter - patch edit enter - then you can scroll through the tabs and parameters. Theres a huge amount of parameters to create sound. Then press write and name it and save it. You can combine patches in favorites. Download the parameter guide from Roland website to help you navigate the parameters.
WHY 8 THEN 0? So ridiculous . There is no sense with what you are saying
Too complicated
This thing is junk.
