- In this video I go through how to upload the extension sounds onto the Juno DS. To get started you need a USB thumb drive. Then you just download the Sound Libraries you want to add.

I figured it out! Before the Juno will let you download anything, the Juno has to format your usb drive FIRST. Put your usb in and follow these instructions: Press MENU.
Cursor to "UTILITY" and press ENTER.
Cursor to "FORMAT USB MEMORY" and press ENTER.
Cursor to "OK" and press ENTER.
My Juno-DS61 arrives tomorrow and I'm so glad I found your video! Thank you so much for being so clear and helpful!
This is awesome thanks! I loaded all ten expansion packs onto a flash drive, and now I can freely switch between them when I reboot the Juno, using technique to load whichever expansion pack that I need at the time. The Juno has ten banks for favorites which is convenient because it lines up with the ten expansion packs. So I chose to use one bank of favorites to align with the same # expansion pack so that I can recall my favorite sounds from each pack. I still haven't checked yet yet if saving one of the expansions as a new 'patch' version in your 'user patches' saves the whole sound outside of the expansion, but I expect it would because the 'user patches' space is in a separate memory space that doesn't get replaced when you load a new expansion. I did test this though - if you record a user pattern sequence, and then reboot and switch expansion packs - it ends up playing the patches with the same numbers from the new expansion pack, not the old one so... it won't be the same sounds. BUT if you reboot, and reload the same expansion that you used the way you recorded the original pattern, you're good to go, and it plays the same way you recorded it. Similarly with 'favorites' if you favorite a sound from one expansion pack, when you reboot and load another expansion pack, the sounds aren't there, so your when you load the favorite, it tries to load whatever patch is in the current expansion pack.
Not sure how helpful this is, but maybe if someone gets confused or frustrated with how it works this might explain it some ?
Very helpful, but one correction. After selecting the file you want to write to the Juno, you press ENTER a second time to write the file to the Juno. The way you describe the steps it sounds like you hit the WRITE button. Thank you!
Great share. Got a DS76. this was so helpful. Thanks for the patch links.
Very helpful and clear. Well done. Just bought a Juno yesterday and need good ep and piano sounds so here goes. Thanks
I bought xps30
By the way, if you get a physically small mini thumb drive, you can leave it plugged in all the time and on the DS61 at least it's tucked in the USB "bay/recess" and won't get knocked off. Nice for leaving Audio Files onboard all the time.
I cheat, and for difficult passages, like some frequent but quick horn riffs for one song, I'll record them onto the right folder on the drive, and instead of physically playing them, I whack the appropriate Pad at the right time, and it instantly plays back each time I do that. I record and edit them in Audacity, or I'll get a DAW and do it that way once I get to that point.
WOW! OK, now I want you to make a video about how you do what you just said you do!!! That would be awesome. Specifically how you assign the newly created part to a pad. 🙂
How do you do this? Will pay for the answer 😂
I want to Know!!!!
Straight forward and incredibly helpful! I love how relaxing your video was. Learning how to use this keyboard is really stressful, thank you for bringing me a moment of peace ^_^
I love the Juno ds. I have it , and i was worried about sounds selection, but turns out it has really nice basses working great with the bend stick /pitch bend, it can even mute some of the bass when you pull the stick up, which is very cool, aand its got the classic jump sound from van halen. nice strings, pads, drums. i only regretting not buying a 76 model, since i feel i dont have enough space / enough keys when playing in splitmode, but i went to get the juno x and go for two synths instead!! :D
Need a video to show how to tie the bass sound to the drums to create a drumlins with bass notes.
.I've tried adding the electric piano and the complete piano collections... the electric piano apparently installed but I can't find them and how did you identify them in the list, i don't see anything to identify them as expansion files?, and the piano collection failed with an error both times I tried to add it?
Hello, thank you for your excellent video, I just did a practice run by downloading the exp 03 world collection. Scrolling through my Juno I can't seem to locate the sounds. For example, I scrolled through looking for the gypsy trumpet and I'm not sure where it is. I was assuming that it would be in the world bank is there any way of locating these. I will try again with a different bank and see if it appears in its respective section. For example I will try the orchestra collection and try and locate it in the orchestra button on the keyboard.
I just realised that there are no increases in numbers in any of the sound categories. where do I find these added sounds, or were they actually already loaded into the Juno when I bought it
❤thank you!!! Finally a good demo for the Roland Cloud software!!
This was super helpful. Thank you.
Thanks for the upload of instructions.
thanks for the help! programming keyboards is hard. I can never figure it out on my own
good info. note: USBs formatted to other keyboards (yamaha) won't work.
Next, can you go over assignable knobs and levers? ha.
Oh my god, I can't believe you made a video about this, thank you so much. I actually tried this last week but I killed my USB-Stick in the process 😅
Thank you very, very much❤️✌️
What great timing!!
How did you "kill" your USB stick? Did the parameter short out the electricity? 😕
@@MsAussie83 wow, didnt think anyone would answer after that long, but I think the problem was that I put too many different files on it after formatting. Also it was a pretty cheap stick, I think it could not handle such great power😂
Greetings from Germany✌🏻😁
@@tdrdaku You're from Germany? That's cool! I wish I could come there to record some cuckoo clocks. I live in Eugene, Oregon (Yes I'm Australian and living in the United States, but living in the United States wasn't a choice for me! I was taken from my home in Brisbane!), and that would be a little spendy for a 1-passenger, round trip plane ticket!
@@MsAussie83 Well, if you need a recording from one of these clocks, I'm Sure there is someone on a german subreddit that can help you. You can also ask me on IG if you have further questions.
A lot of time has passed since I wrote the original comment here and I now have my own YT-Channel where I upload Covers and my own music.
Anyway, I hope I could help you with your project, have a nice day✌🏼
(Could happen that two similar comments will be posted, the first one didn't show here though so I wrote it again but shorter)
Hello, please make another video. The current expansion sounds no longer have .bin file. There is no documentation on how to load the new file extension. The new file extension is jxl.
Thank you brother. This helped me alot
Great, incredible, good, and perfect !
Legend, great video mate
Great video!
Would love to see one on how to run the Juno through your DAW i.e GarageBand Mac/Logic.
I’ve tried and just can’t seem to get it to work.
I have thought about doing a video on that topic, however it is difficult because everyone has a different computer. I would recommend going to Roland's website and reading about it!
Thank you. It works great now👍🔥💯
How do you load the xv patches/sounds though?
Thank you maybe just a little slower for the seniors😊
When I did copy and paste, to the main page, it it did not show up as a file to select.
Oh, sure, I just did this three days ago, and just saw it this morning!!! Hahahaha, bad timing! Oh well, at least I did it right. Thanks. Hmmm, maybe I better watch the whole thing.
I got the Keyboard and the Orchestra ones, I found some really good 60's portable organs and some good flutes, which I needed badly.
Now if I could just figure out how to sort through all of the available tones in a bank by Category designation; PNO, SBS, FLT, etc.........
Oh well... At least you saw it!
I appreciate this type of content.
is it possible to load multiple expansions all at once?
I think so, but I have yet to try!
@@Exalter Supposedly up to the memory capacity of the keyboard. I saw how much that was once upon a time, but do you think I can find it??? I looked all over. Anyway, for what it's worth, the Keyboard and the Orchestra binary files are about 32 Mb each. I don't know if that gets decompressed when loaded. I've got one in there, I'll try to see if another one fits.
Edit: Ha, the manual says you can have up to 256 User Patches, which has nothing to do with the room for Expansion ones.
I really had high hopes that this would work for me but just like any other technological item, it didn't work for me. 😔
I tried your way but had no idea how to do the extraction part of it. You basically said now extract but didn't explain how to do that. I'm old and I don't get this stuff. 😔
Then it turned out that I had the expansion thumb drive directly from Roland so I thought I would give that a whirl. Easy, right? Not for me!
The instructions were pretty straightforward but when I went to hit the numeric button and power, the screen was very similar to yours but did not have the ability to download anything somehow. Any clue as to what is happening there? I put a call into Sweetwater and hopefully they'll be able to figure it out for me but in the meantime, if you see this and you have a clue, I would greatly appreciate some insight!
Hi. Do I need to formate the usb drive first, to load Expansions? Because is not working for me. Thank you.
I already installed one expansion in the past but when i try to load another one it doesnt show up on the USB stick
1:59 it doesnt show up there...
Yes, yes yes! I like it, Bro.
Здравствуйте! Подскажите, с чем может
быть связано, что все записанные pattern
поменялись. На всех дорожках стоит один
и тот же звук, и ритм. Запись всех дорожек
у каждого pattern осталась, только звуки
выбранные пропали и заменились по
не понятным причинаи на звук 88 stagegrand . Как все вернуть?
Soft EP2 is already on the Juno DS and it is not part of the Exp-05 pack. I can't find any patches marked Exp or Expansion after trying this. What am I missing?? Thanks.
Me too..
@@AussieSaintJohnI just recently discovered this. Use the up arrow key to get to modes, then use the wheel to change mode to EXP. Then use the right arrow key to get to EXP sounds. Then once again use wheel to scroll thru sounds.
I called Sweetwater Music and got them to send me a thumb drive with dozens of different sounds.
@@guylivesay8330 Thanks mate, I'm still working out how to use this instrument, I've only had it 3 months but basically because I prefer just to play and only wanted to try to find another piano sound I liked, I'd be interested to hear about the Sweetwater option, cheers mate... 🙂
@@guylivesay8330 Hi , did u receive your thumb drive ?
@@pointer2002 got it all figured out. Thanks.
Thank you!
Great video. Thank you! Are there other places to get patches from beside Axial? There must be other great sounds out there to load. Many thanks.
There probably are, but I haven't found them!
If anyone knows, this would be of great help!
Where does it show on the screen the patch is , “marked e pension?”
Somehow mine doesn't load the wave mode anymore.
can I download patherns too? rythms patterns?
can you add sound effects from youtube or something else on to the Juno DS?
Simple and straightforward. I need to do this with my new DS-88. Thanks!...... I'm back. So you can only have one patch set saved on the Juno at a time? You said you already have one installed, how do you select which patch set to use? I installed the Brass, Piano and Strings sets and only the last set (Strings) is showing
So, after making the tutorial I learned that the Juno DS can only have one patch set stored on the Juno at once. I wish the Juno had more memory!
@@Exalter At least you can save liked patches to memory/favourites.
I put the EXP02.bin file on the USB stick and powered up holding the numeric button, yet the Juno shows the stick as empty. I've tried formatting the USB stick through several ways, including in the Juno itself, and then loading EXP02.bin again onto the root directory. Nothing.
Make sure you format the usb drive as fat32. Ntfs won’t work. I had the same issue but after using fat32, it worked! Hope that helps
Hello! Can you tell me what could
that all the recorded patterns
have changed. All the tracks have the same
the same sound and rhythm. The recording of all the tracks
of each pattern is still there, only the sounds
that were selected are gone and replaced for some
for some unknown reason to sound 88
stagegrand. How do I get everything back?
Why the tool itself does not see the on the flash drive
Thank you.
Thank you
can it bew done on osx mac computers?
Does the thumb drive size matter?
Hi,
I watched your video and it was very helpful...!
Thank you for this!
By the way, do you also know how to delete or remove those expansions we loaded from the JUNO DS (88)?
Thanks!
I reading about the exppansions after I made the video, and it looks like you can only have one installed at a time. So if you want to delete an expansion it looks like you have to install a new one...
Helpful
thanks bro
If I download the expansion pack would it affect my settings that I have saved on the performance?
I don't think so!
awesome, does this overwrite the default sounds that the juno came with out of the box?
Nope!
@@Exalter awesome, thanks!
Hello one question, for Roland juno Gi is possible????
Awesome
Thank you for the video amazing content. Meanwhile Is it possible to put backing tracks on the usb and play them through the Junos usb stick port?
It is possible to upload audio files and play them on the Juno DS, although I think you can only play one at a time. So you would have to condense each song down to one audio file that you upload to the Juno.
@@Exalter Thank you so much. What kind of backing track files Rolan Juno reads - wav. mp3 or both of them? Thanks
@@musicexpressduo From the user manual, it reads only 16btis 44.1kHz .wav files
Can I use sounds from any VST in my Juno-DS??
Is it possible that you only can use one expansion at a time?
Very useful, how many space have juno for expasiona?
Sadly the Juno can only have one expansion loaded at a time...
@@Exalter thank you very much,excuse me,anothe doubt,its really that juno in ableton live can't used like master?thank
Can we load expansion sound from Wav or Mp4 file?
👍 thanks
How much memory does the keyboard have to load expansion packs?
Sadly I think you can only load one expansion at a time...
The .bin file is on my thumb drive and I get the wave update mode screen but there are no files in the data box for me to select, Any suggestions?
Make sure your usb is formatted fat32, not ntfs or any other file system.
Can I download into my Juno DS-88 some sounds which are,for instance, for other models of Roland keyboards??
I don't think so, but I could be wrong...
it can load 34 mbs of samples! so maybe like a few intricate layered patches. or many lofi one sample patches ")
Will this add them as additional patches or will it delete some factory patches?
This will just add additional patches!
Do you know how to do it in a Juno Stage?
Sadly I do not...
Can I install all Zenology patches ? 😬 If not, do u know which Roland keyboard can use expansions packs from Zen Core..thanks !
Sadly the zenology patches don't work on the Juno. I'm not sure what Roland keyboards support zenology, but I'm assuming most new boards do!
Juno X Jupiter X
Do these expansions need to be purchased? Or are they an option that comes with the keyboard?
they seem to be always available for free download in the site
@@SkippyZii word. ended up going with the modx+. thanks anyway
Can it load more than 1 expansion?
Sadly no...
hey bud I followed your instructions to a T. The file will not show up when i go to load them on the Juno. does the USB drive need to be formatted in any specific format?
Found thew issue. Was a filing system issue. Anyone thats having this issue use the USB format utility in the Roland. It will format the USB to FAT32 and put in folders for you for backups...etc. There you can copy the bin files over. You will now be able to see and import the expansion you wish.
Can you load all of them at the sametime?
Sadly you can only load one at a time
Is is possible to use sounds that are not from the Roland site ? Like ones that I could create myself on a daw
I'm not sure... I think you would have to create, and import them from the Roland Juno DS computer program, but I think it's possible
@@Exalter thanks for the answer ! I Indeed found a software on Roland site, I have now to learn how to use it 😅 (it's not very user friendly). For exemple I didn't found how to modify the pad's sound..
How many expansion packs can you put into the ds at once?
Sadly only 1...
@@Exalter daymn
Very disappointed in this keyboard, you can only load one bin at a time and when you load a second bin it changes your favorites. What good is that? Nobody could tell me why my favorite patches were changing until I figured it out on my own. Roland's support sucks!
Hello, please make another video. The current expansion sounds no longer have .bin file. There is no documentation on how to load the new file extension. The new file extension is jxl.
