Samples from Thumb Drive?

13 Sep 2011, 17:23

Hi,

I'm thinking of getting a juno-di and I'm wondering about the use of samples on a thumb drive.
If you have a thumb drive attached with appropriate sample (wav, mp3, whatever), how can you access those sounds.

Can they be directed to one key on the keyboard (or several) and as a part in a split, so that during a performance you can just hit a key and have that sample play - while you are still playing the rest of your performance from the other parts of that split?

Thanks for your help with this as I'm trying to figure out of Juno is the way to go for me. Same question, by the way regarding the Juno-Gi. Thanks again!

On Juno-Di you can only play samples via Song player. You can't use them as part of patches or favorites. But you can start them with "play/stop" button and you will be able to see names on display.

Thanks. Do you know if this is the same on the Gi? And with the play/stop button you mention, is that available during any performance, or does it have to be in a certain mode for that area to work.

Yes, it is available for any performance, but you need to press button "song list", and then with transport controls "<< >>" you can choose from list of samples or songs. It's good for intro or outro or short phrases, but it is not very much flexible for giging in my opinion. Song player does not have any influence on your choice of performances, it is practicly separate unit like mp3/wav portable player built in case. About juno Gi, I really don't know cause I don't know own it, but I think it is similar you can try to download manual and see how it works.
