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.

     ______________                  ______________
     |   ST     in|<---------------->| Juno 1 or  |
     |         out|<---------------->| Juno 2     |
     |____________|                  |____________|


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
