Here’s a quick split to create with the JUNO-60 bits. Yes … you can load up the “Jupiter-8/Juno-60 Crossover Impressions for the JD-XA” Axial bank.. and get a boat load of JUNO-60 parts, but for purposes of this quick demo… Going to do a JUNO-60 layered patch… mostly because it’s easy to do - and, these are sounds I like. Also - wanted to show how easy it is to create a composite Program with the JD-XA.
Creating a Layered Juno-60 Pad/String (Jn60 1) below a split-layered JUNO-60 PolySynth patch (Jn60Syn4). I am putting the Jn60Syn4 patch on just the top portion of the keyboard. The Jn60 1 will go across the whole range. Something else cool about most all of these Integra patches, and this applies to any
you bring over to the JD-XA. They support aftertouch. (something not available on the System 8).
This quick tutorial.. assumes you have loaded the Integra zip I posted, onto a USB drive.. I will be referring to the programs in certain locations, so it’s easier to follow - but if you have at least installed the JUNO-60 portion of the patches… this will work.
1. Find the SLO-Jn60Syn4 patch. If you installed the programs from the copy I provided… it will be in USB:E10 The important thing, is to note which patch # this is. In my case.. it is
E10
2. Find the SLO-Jn60 1 patch. Again - if you installed the programs from the copy I provided… this one will be in D02. This is where you will be working from…. no need to write anything down… Select this patch as the next steps assume you are on SLO-Jn60 1.
3. Copy the SLO-Jn60Syn4 Digital Part 1 to the Digital Part 2 of the Program you are on ( SLO-Jn60 1).
a. Hold SHIFT press Bank/Copy
The LCD will be blinking “<COPY> PROGRAM ( or whatever the last copy you used)
You need to change PROGRAM to PART. Press the > arrow key until it reads PART
Press the ENTER
b. The LCD should be prompting for the Src (source)...
Press USB (If the SLO-Jn60Syn4 program (from step 1) is on your USB drive. I pressed USB
Press Bank, then E (or whatever the bank you wrote down in step 1 was - I pressed
E
Press the Program Number (1-16) for the SLO-Jn60Syn4 program (from step 1) I pressed
10
Press ENTER
c. The LCD should be asking for the Source Part Number. Use the < > keys to select the part (Probably Digital Part1)
Press ENTER
d. The LCD should be asking for the Dest Part Number. This is the destination for the copy..
Use - + keys to change this to D-PART 2 (or an other part that is unused in your program)
Press ENTER
d. The LCD should be prompting :Part Copy? [Exit]:N [Ent]: Y
Press ENTER
Press the Exit key, to fully get out of the Copy function
4. You should have a fully layered 2 part patch now…. The parts are velocity sensitive… and aftertouch is enabled… cool
5. I didn’t want the polySyn patch on the lower octaves… so i set the range.
Press and hold the red (on) button for Digital Part 2 (or whatever part number it was, that you copied the polySyn to in step 3d.
It is probably saying C-1 - G9
While holding the button down.. press the D4 key on your keyboard…. or whatever note you want the low end of the split to be…
The LCD will blink with — asking for the high note… press the top key on your keyboard (C6)
— split is set
— patch is done
6. Add more bits… throw an analog part in… diddle with the effects of these digital parts… they are all set in the JD-XA menus..
Don’t like the split… repeat Step 5… There is a lot of little bits to doc… but setting layers and splits once you learn the shortcut
is easy…
7. If you like what you created… you need to write it. If you move off this program before saving, it is lost. In fact, at any step along the way... if you get lost, or things are whack... move off the patch... press another patch number, then go back to where you started. Until you save the Program, you're safe. :)
This looks like a crapload of work.. In reality, it took about 2 minutes. Seriously quick and easy to copy parts and tones around, once you have done it a couple of times. Key things… Always start on the program you will be copying TO… and… hit the Write button often… or you may move off of your work, and lose the edits…
Cheers -
