I tried all i could read my manual and still can't get it. Here is the deal I have my Juno-D sync thru Midi with my MPC and everything is fine till i want to go to another track and change instruments. when i do that the previous track instrument changes also. I been messing with this for at least 3-4 hours. I can't take it no more i need help,lol

your synth is probably not multitimbral, which means its only able to play one timbre (patch or sound) at a time. i would suggest maybe recording your loops or whatever, export that into your computer and save it as a wav and then bring it back into the mpc. tedious as ****, but im not really sure of another way to do it, i dont really have much experience in that area. hope that helps.

its multi timbral..

from Roland's site:

Could you describe the JUNO-D’s Patch mode and Performance mode?


When playing the JUNO-D, you’ll use one of the following two modes:

Patch mode--is used to play one patch or rhythm set. You’ll most often use this mode when you play the JUNO-D in a band or a solo performance. When the JUNO-D is powered on, it automatically starts up in Patch mode. From other modes, you can return to Patch mode at any time by pressing [PATCH].

In Patch mode, all three built-in effects processors are available to process a patch. The JUNO-D allows you to easily select and edit patches, and to store your edits to user memory locations.

Performance mode--allows the JUNO-D to simultaneously play up to 16 different patches and/or rhythm sets. This is great for playing multiple patches at once from the keyboard, creating one massive sound. You’ll also use Performance mode when playing with the Rhythm Guide, and when you use the JUNO-D with an external MIDI sequencer. To select Performance mode, press [PERFORM] so its indicator is lit.

In Performance mode, the three built-in effects processors are shared by the performance’s 16 parts. Up to eight user performances can be stored onboard the JUNO-D.

after reading the juno d manual pages 55-58, its very clear how to select different channels to play multiple sounds simultaneously..

also make sure you are using differnt midi channels on the MPC as well.

Follow my lil guide below.

Connecting a Keyboard to the MPC:

Keyboard Settings:
MIDI OUT to MPC MIDI IN
Local Control OFF
Make sure its in Multi-Mode
Route Audio Outs(headphone out if stereo out isnt available) to your Mixer

MPC Settings:
MIDI OUT to Keyboard MIDI IN
Turn DRUM to MIDI 1A or 1B(most likely 1A)
Route Audio OUTS(stereo outs or headphone out) to your mixer

Cables Required: MIDI(2) and Audio Cables(depends on how many outs the gear has)

Example:
Say you have a bass on the keyboard and it is on Channel 2(track 2 for some keyboards with onboard sequencers)

Then the MPC should be set to MIDI:2A

So basically whatever the sound in the keyboard is the number should be the same on the MPC.

Channel 1 or Track 1=MIDI 1A
Channel 2 or Track 2=MIDI 2A

ect....

Real simple and easy.
