Roland JU-06A, Operation Manual

TURNING THE JU-06A ON  

Before turning the unit on/o

ff

, always be sure to turn the volume down. Even with the volume turned 

down, you might hear some sound when switching the unit on/o

ff

. However, this is normal and does not 

indicate a malfunction.

When handling the sound module while adjusting its angle or during installation into the K25M or Base 
unit, please be careful not to get your fingers pinched between the movable part and the unit. In places 
where small children are present, make sure that an adult provides supervision and guidance.  Once a 
kid sees that these can be adjusted, they’ll be sure to want to try it too. This can be treacherous for small 
fingers, so either keep the unit out of the case, or up and safely away from o

ff

spring when you aren’t 

with them, cool?

Don’t use any old micro USB charger cable. Charge-only cables cannot transmit data. You want to get a 
proper USB Micro Type B cable as opposed to something in a drawer that came with your phone.

USING THE BUTTONS AS A KEYBOARD 

If you don’t have a midi controller, or the K25 keyboard attachment, you can still play the JU-06A as an 
instrument without anything else. It’s odd, but it’s also nice to be able to just bring it with you, and 
nothing else. 

1. Press the KEYBOARD [NOTE] button to make it light. Step buttons [1]–[12] are lit. 

2. Perform by pressing step buttons [1]–[12].

You can use step buttons [13] and [14] to shift the keyboard’s pitch range in one-octave units. You can 
use step buttons [15] and [16] to switch between solo/unison/poly modes.
