Serious Question about Juno-G

14 Nov 2006, 15:16
I have the Alesis QS 6.2 keyboard and I was wondering if I could hook up my alesis keyboard to the Roland Juno-G and use the sound's from the alesis 6.2 keyboard into roland juno-g sequencer. Ohh another question I read that juno-g does not do pattern sequence but linear, What is that???? It is a big deal?????

You can connect a MIDI cable from MIDI OUT on the JunoG to MIDI IN on the Alesis, and send MIDI messages from the JunoG to the Alesis, causing the Alesis to produce the required sounds. As far as I know, the JunoG does not have a sampler, but if you can sample the Alesis sounds you need, they can be imported into the JunoG as WAV/AIFF files and be used as basis for a patch.

Pattern sequencing vs linear sequencing is not a very big deal, IMO. A pattern is a snippet of MIDI sequence data that may be called a number of places in your song, sort of like a program subroutine. On the JunoG you have to "spell everything out", so to speak. In a linear fashion.

Yes, you can sequence notes into the G by sending MIDI messages (Q: MIDI OUT --> JUNO-G MIDI IN) ... Press Record on the G and play the Q.

To hear the notes the Juno-G will play on the Q you need to connect the MIDI OUT on the G to the MIDI IN on the Q.

(see what happenens. There could be issues as to what channels the Q is sending out and on what Juno-G tracks its being recorded. This is all very doable, though.)


(Although depending on the situation, it may just be easier to record the Q as audio on the Juno-G.)



If you don't know what pattern sequencing is, you're probably not going to miss it.

Basically, pattern sequencing is a convenient way to record musical phrases (simple or complex) and play them back at the touch of a key. Some people like to make music this way as it can speed things up.

Patterns can also be used as pseudo-arpeggios, which on the Fantom, means you can have up to eight more sequences play in real time.

There are also other uses for pattern sequencing, but that's the main stuff.

No, it has a sampler but it cannot do multi-samples. Maybe this is what you meant.

So it's possible

So I can record messages from the Alesis QS 6.2 into my Juno-G through midi ........ I don't want to record the sound's through audio because It will be off beat and you can not quantize recorded audio.
