JUNO-X: Does this instrument have a vocoder?

Yes, the JUNO-X has a built-in vocoder.

Follow the steps below. (These steps assume you’re using the factory default settings.)

1. Connect a microphone to the rear panel MIC IN jack.
   The JUNO-X supports dynamic microphones and electret condenser microphone (plug-in power system). It does not support condenser microphones.

2. Use the rear panel MIC IN [GAIN] knob to adjust the volume.
   Make detailed adjustments to the MIC IN volume after you select the sound. Initially, set the knob to approximately the center position.

3. Select part 1, and then press the [MODEL BANK] button to make it light.

4. Press the [MODEL BANK] button and then press the [6] button.
   With the factory settings, “VOCODER” is assigned to the model bank of the [6] button.
   You can change the model bank that is assigned. Refer to “Registering to a model bank” in the JUNO-X Reference Manual.

5. Use the [- VALUE +] knob to select a vocoder sound (two types).

6. While playing the keyboard, vocalize into the microphone. The vocoder effect is applied.
   Use the MIC IN [GAIN] knob to make fine adjustments to the volume.
