Roland Juno G Hip Hop Loop Tutorial

Start-to-finish tutorial on how to create a hip hop loop using the Roland Juno G's midi sequencing feature. For the past 4 or so months I've been really enjoying my new Roland Juno G keyboard, it's an amazing machine! I put together a how-to style video tutorial which explains how to create a hip hop loop using the Juno G's midi feature.

The patches used in this tutorial:

⇒ USER:087 (PeakArpSine)
⇒ PR-B:024 (Comp'd JBass)
⇒ USER:011 (HipHop Kit 2)
⇒ PR-B:116 (Crossed Bows)
⇒ USER:028 (Scrh&Voi&Wld)

@Lamont2086 I don't believe it does. At least I haven't found one yet!

Tom, Awesome video. Very helpfull. Can you advise me how to globally lower the drum machine volume compared to the patches? When I try to play any patch along with the drums, the drums are so much louder. Page 29 in the manual has something about it, but as soon as you change anything, the drum volume goes right back up again. Is there any way to permanately and globally adust the balance between the drums and patches? Thanks so much. RFH

@RayFHunter sorry about the long delay in my reply. I've been very busy :)

You can set the volume lower as described on page 29, but when you change rhythms, the volume will go back to 100%. (Changing patches shouldn't change rhythm volume though).

Alternatively, you can record your own rhythm as a midi track in preform mode and loop-play it (as shown in the video), then play along with a different patch in another midi track. This is what I do when fooling around.

HEy thanks alot! im just wondering when i export the song into the computer as a midi file, it only plays the piano part of the song and not the everything else. r u able to upload ur songs into the computer?

[tomreitz]

@DJ2006LEGIT I haven't tried exporting as MIDI, but you can also export a song as a .wav file (all parts mixed together). Here's how: 1. Set sequencer to where you want to record from 2. Press AUDIO TRACK 3. Select a free audio track 4. Set Audio Rec Mode to RE-SAMPLING 5. Press PLAY 6. Press STOP to end recording 7. In the new menu, hit CANCEL 8. The new recording will appear in sample edit mode 9. Press WRITE, and save the file into the flash memory (USER or CARD) 10. USB copy file to computer

@nedwergs that is cool. I've been using it for a while now. Thanks for the tip!

Hey, thanks 4 this video. Now I can start some basic sequencing.

I am new to the Juno G... I know sequencing in FL Studio. How do I do a detailed sequencing in the Juno G. I Wanna record the drum rolls n stuff. Plus how do I quantize my recordings n use the audio tracks to record external instruments like the Harmonica n Guitar???? Do you have a video that will show me how to do those stuff??? U can give a link to that too. That would be great. Again thanks 4 your video man. :-)
