Sending performance mode program change messages to Roland Juno DS

Thank you so much for taking the time to describe the complete steps. It will benefit others.

Hi sorry for the late reply. I sometimes miss messages etc.

I don’t recall solving the Performance Mode issue, so I just put it in the too hard basket (plus I own a GM800 Guitar Synth). I read that it requirde some hex code to be sent to the device, to put it into Performance Mode. Admittedly I have stopped using Gig Performer, which is due to the fact that I have had a few near accidents with my Macbook M2 24/1TB, having been knocked off it’s stand by drunken patrons on a few occasions, plus I am mainly using a guitar synth (as above).

I haven’t tried this yet, as I’m looking to solve another issue with the DS61, however, I just had a quick fiddle, and the parameters (when in Performance Mode) are:-

  • MSB 85
  • LSB 64
  • PC xx (or xx-1 depending on Midi mode).

This was a lifesaver. Thanks
