A u t h o r	S u b j e c t : J-edit on mac!!!!
cc date: 4/6/2002	J-edit on mac!!!! disappointing that you haven`t finished the Mac software!!! You could at least make a PC to Mac preset converter. Must be really simple to make, if you`re into that... The product is OK, but now I´ve been using a crashing beta for Mac a long time and I can`t update my J-station with Mac. Come on now... P
Spacko306 date: 4/6/2002	Re: J-edit on mac!!!! I actually don´t think they´ll ever finish the mac version. Try to find a crappy PC somewhere (a P100 is largly enough) with a cheap soundcard and go with it. Presets are only 1 kB big, so you can easily store them on a floppy if you want.
spacko306 date: 4/6/2002	Re: J-edit on mac!!!! If you can´t, check out my short deep edit manual on http://aragesoh.0catch.com/J.%20Manual.zip There´s a screenshot of J-edit with the deep edit numbers on each knob, so you can tweak everything without a PC or the manual. But it´s in MS word formate (.doc). So if you can´t read it with your mac, mail me, I´ll send it to you as bitmap or something else. Check also ma band homepage by the way on www.aragesoh.0catch.com. (It´s also translated into english)
Hilmar date: 4/12/2002	Re: J-edit on mac!!!! You can convert the patches from PC to Mac. All you need are two Mac programs: 1. Hexedit (http://freespace.virgin.net/nick.shanks/mac/noframes/hexedit.html) and 2. Sysex (http://members.cox.net/sgrace9/sysex/) or a program which can send sysex data. You have to open the patch (.sys) with hexedit. Then you must delete the first 21 entries. Save and that´s all. See www.yaman-coolabah.com/johnson/patch.gif as an example.
cordura21 date: 4/18/2002	Re: J-edit on mac!!!! anybody knows what is the hex string to send to the JStation for a continuous controller change? For example, if I want to set the controller #34 (the amp emulation) to 1, on channel 1? Regards, Andrés
spacko306 date: 4/18/2002	Re: J-edit on mac!!!! I got a software where you can see the MIDI data going through the computer. Gimme your E-mail and I´ll send it if you want. (You see it as hex string)
Mike Morgan date: 4/18/2002	Re: J-edit on mac!!!! CC is right, he has a right to expect support from the company that built this product and he is not getting it. Why is it unfair to expect a Mac version? Who the heck can read midi Hexi-decimal?? You guys are smart enough to write it yourself, so why not Johnson?
Hilmar date: 4/19/2002	Re: J-edit on mac!!!! Someone on this forum has posted that Johnson has only one person for Mac programming. Unfortunately he is involved in other projects. I write an adaption for the J-Station for Emagic´s Sounddiver. When it´s ready, I post it on the forum. But it´s not so easy.
spacko306 date: 4/19/2002	Re: J-edit on mac!!!! WOW. (could you insert a "print function" (to print the preset list in a bank) if that´s possible? That would be very useful on stage. MY banks always change and I´m just too lazy to write it all down by hand.
