Selecting the sounds...!

According to Roland Support not much to help unless I use the Free iPad JP Synth Editor App
This will allow me to choose sounds in the UPPER, LOWER etc quicker and create new LIVE SETS, REGs

Need to see if I can get it working with my iStudio Dock though!

I am getting fed up with apps / gear that do not go together happilly...

Got the Roland JP Synth editor App for my iPad , BUT it will not work from my docking iStudio as it needs the Camera connection kit to talk via USB to the J50 and NOT just MIDI in/out (which the iStudio can in fact do)

The included USB MIDI Socket on the iStudio will only converse with the DAW /PC not the J50

So, I now have to buy a Camera connection kit to be able to edit the patches (via the iPad app) on the J50 to then put the iPad into the iStudio so as to use SetLIstMaker and send MIDI Presets/Pgm changes to it during live songs, but which cannot control the other iPad app used live (the drum machine - DM1) because that does NOT accept MIDI program changes (So i will have to toggle back & forth between SetlIstmaker and the DM1 for each song) !!

Bloody hell.........

I haven't used the JP iPad editor too much yet, but I'll check for you and report tomorrow. I don't think you can choose/scroll through Acoustic instruments with it, just edit synth.

that's quite right ...you cannot edit the Supernatural Sounds only the synth tones

I have the iO-Dock and had the same problem, which I circumvented using the integra wireless interface

Sounds intriguing...how does the Wireless work with the IoDock...I maybe able to do the same with iStudio?

It should be exactly the same as with the iO-Dock

I'm using the iO-Dock to access a few soft synths like the Arturia iMini, Korg iPolySix and iMS-20, Addictive, Sunrizer, Amimoog, Akay iMPC and SynthStation, Alchemy, etc, all being accessed via the iO-Dock's 5-Pin MIDI interface, together with the integra-7 Editor via the Wireless Ad-Hoq connection, and all works perfectly.

Great, think I'll order one to be able to EDIT the J50 whilst it is docked !~
Thank you
Guy

I don't have the JP50 but I do have the wireless adapter on my Juno-Di and it works great!! I loaded the air recorder to my iPhone and iPad and they both work great with NO WIRES! I'm sure it would work with your IO Dock. I'll ask my friend that uses one if I can borrow and try it out.

Give me a few months and I'll have the JP50 to test it on! :)

my wireless thingee has not arrived yet, but can tell you that my iPad set up running SetlistMaker is working very well:
For each 'song' you set up /can create a series of 1...* MIDI PRESETS (Pre configured MIDI Messages/Change 'Patches' transmitting to multiple MIDI Channels)

The PRESET config has a MIDI Learn function in it so all I do is switch that on, scroll through the sounds (be it for UPPER, LOWER etc or REG) and then save, the MIDI PRESET then will change the REG (Patch) and/or the sounds that make it up..can do numerous things actually
I also hooked this up to my FCB1010 MIDI Foot Controller now and it will change all the MIDI devices at the the tap of my foot (via NEXT or PREV MIDI Preset messages)
Quite neat actually...and saves me having to remember or struggle with individual Program numbers on my J50 and Nord Stage 2 etc!

SetlistMaker also has split screen so you can display lyrics or charts/cheat sheets for arrangements at the same time (even better fro my failing memory!)

THIS WAS NOT MEANT AS AN ADVERT FOR SETLISTMAKER BTW!! Sorry if it comes across that way!
