I thought I would pass this along, since it took some time to figure it out. It describes setting up a Performance in which you want to use an external midi keyboard to control only one Part in your Performance. If you only have 2 Parts (one for the local keyboard, one for the external keyboard) it'...

Hi, I have a Juno DS-61 and Behringer FCB1010 with Uno chip, and have the problem with midi CC64 (sustain) being ignored. The midi channel is fine, as other controllers work (e.g. CC11 for expression). This may be a quirk of Roland's midi implementation, or perhaps there is some required setting in ...

Also I can confirm that the Kenton USB Midi Host lets you control the Juno DS using a USB MIDI keyboard (I have a Korg Micro Key 37). Just connect the USB keyboard to the Kenton, and the Kenton's MIDI out to the Jon's MIDI in. This should work with any "class compliant" USB MIDI controller.

I got the answer from the folks at Roland. Search for "Sound Mode" in the MIDI Implementation Guide as mentioned above (on page 21). This can put the Juno DS into any of the following modes: PATCH , PERFORM, GM1, GM2, GS These are numbered 0 through 4, i.e.: PATCH=00 PERFORM=01 GM1=02 GM2=...
