\"JUNO-Gi<\/a>

Why the JUNO-Gi is Great for Multi-Instrumentalists<\/p><\/div>\n

Being a multi-instrumentalist in a band is like being the quarterback and the kicker of a football team. If one doesn\u2019t show up, there\u2019s an available backup; however, in a perfect world your team members are always healthy, always prepared, and always ready to put on a great performance.\u00a0But, this isn\u2019t a perfect world and stuff happens, and when \u201cstuff\u201d happens, someone has to pickup the slack. This is when the kicker becomes the quarterback, and in a band, this is when the keyboardist becomes the guitarist. Yes, both require a level of skill and competence in order to carry out their part. In a band, however, you’re also required to have the right gear to make it possible.<\/p>\n

Made for the Multi-Instrumentalist…<\/em><\/h2>\n

The JUNO-Gi<\/a> was made for these situations; it was made for the multi-instrumentalist. It has a massive sound bank of 1,300 sounds, an onboard eight-track digital recorder, and pro effects created by BOSS<\/a>. The following five features make the JUNO-Gi the working musician\u2019s auxiliary board.<\/p>\n

2. Dedicated Audio Recorder…<\/em><\/h2>\n

The JUNO-Gi has a built-in 8-track audio recorder to create multi-track recordings. You can use the recorder to not only record the JUNO-Gi’s keyboard, but also your guitar performance. There\u00a0are\u00a0a total of 64 virtual tracks, so you can record on any eight tracks and select the ones you want for playback. You can even bounce virtual tracks to get a massive, multi-tracked guitar sound inside the JUNO-Gi.<\/p>\n

\u00a03. Plug-in & Jam with Your MP3 Player…<\/em><\/h2>\n

The JUNO-Gi provides audio inputs that enable you to plug in your MP3 player and jam along. You can jam along to your favorite song or play along with a keyboard player, and you both can jam to a recording of your band to learn parts or just have fun playing together.<\/p>\n

4. Dedicated Hi-Z Input for Your Guitar…<\/em><\/h2>\n

This enables you to plug-in your guitar and jam along with someone playing the JUNO-Gi. The dedicated guitar input acts as a pre-amp, so someone can play the keyboard while you play the guitar. This is great for two-person gigs, jamming with band mates, or writing tunes with a keyboard player.<\/p>\n

5. Center Cancel\/Minus-One Function…<\/em><\/h2>\n

If you playback an audio file using the JUNO-Gi’s Song Player, you can mute a specific part of the song and play it yourself. This is a convenient way to learn guitar solos, or even vocals, from your favorite songs.<\/p>\n
