October 14, 1991 Roland Juno 1 & 2 Librarian for the Atari ST
(c) 1991 by Kevin Houser
------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, you can now inexpensively save those great patches from your
Roland Alpha Juno 1 or 2 on Atari ST disks with my latest and
first shareware offering. The JUNO2LIB.PRG will allow you to save
and load patches to your Juno and Atari disks. Also, you can
rename, swap or copy patches.
The librarian is a 'slimmed down' version of a Juno Edittor which
I wrote about two years ago and was for in house use only. The
librarian WILL WORK with C-Lab's Soft Link (I use it regularly).
To use the program, just double click on it, or install it on the
desktop as accepting .JNO files. Once in the program you'll see
the usual assortment of GEM menus. Load in the supplied *.JNO
patch file and you will see all of the Juno's programmable patche's
patch names displayed. You can change the patch name by double
clicking on it and using the edit requestor which appears. Also,
the name can be editted by single clicking on the desired patch
and then hitting the ESC key (just like a major C-LAB product |8^}
).
Sending data to and from the Juno couldn't be easier. Just plug in
the midi cables as shown.

|____________| |____________|
Now, to transfer patches to & from the Juno and the Computer, just
select the appropriate menu item and follow the Dialog prompts
from there. An update 'thermometer' will follow the transfer's
progress. Should an error or problem occur, an appropriate Alert
box will appear giving you choices on what to do, or giving you
information as to what is going on. Checksums are computed to
insure that the data has transferred ERROR free.
WARNING, do not attempt to send data to the Juno unless you have
loaded and saved the Juno's original contents beforehand. All
patches in the Juno will be overwritten. YES, I bashed a few of my
patches in the early versions of the software and was not to
happy about losing my favorite 'KILLER patch to WRITE PLATINUM
ALBUMS.' Seriously folx, just load from the Juno and save your patches
to disk first.
To swap or copy a patch, just click and drag a patch name to
another patch name. An Alert box will ask you if you wish to Copy,
Exchange, or Cancel.
The most recent change made to a patch library can be undone by
clicking the Undo menu item or pressing the Undo key.
Pressing/Selecting Undo again Redoes the change.
For better documentation and an updated version with Patch
Editting capabilies, see below:
If you find this program useful, or even just like it |8^}, PLEASE
register with me for the latest version which implements more
funtions (like mixing & matching patches from different patch
banks, and patch editting). All I ask is that you send a check or
money order for $15 (in US funds) payable to me. This will ensure
that I am sufficiently motivated to continue updating this program
and start work on numerous other music/midi software projects.

Thanks in advance to all who supported and continue to support my
efforts to make the Atari a better place to live. |8*P
