If you’re
really
not concerned with memory management, you can
just grab any JUPITER-50-formatted thumb drive—or format one
as described below—and go straight to loading Synth Legends.
Click
to jump to “Preparing the Synth Legends Thumb Drive.”
However, we really
do
recommend using this booklet’s two-step
method.
Thumb-Driving
As we noted earlier, you’ll need a USB thumb drive for backing up the
current contents of your JUPITER-50’s memory, and another for the
Synth Legends installer files.
The reason you need a separate thumb drive for your User data is
that a drive can only contain one backup, and Synth Legends has its
own backup data file.
If you’ve already used either of these drives with your JUPITER-50, it’s
already properly formatted. If it’s a new drive—or if you’ve used it with
some other device—you’ll need to format it.
Formatting a USB Thumb Drive for the JUPITER-50
Formatting a thumb drive completely clears it of data. Make sure
there’s nothing you want to keep on any thumb drive you’re about to
format.
Here’s how to format a thumb drive for use in the JUPITER-50.
1
With the JUPITER-50’s power off,
connect a thumb drive to the jack in
[OL<:)4,469@:65.73(@,9
RECORDER compartment.
2
Turn on the JUPITER-50.
3
Press the MENU button to display
the Menu window.
4
Select Utility from the displayed list, as shown above and press
the ENTER button.
5
Use the
button once to highlight “Format USB Mem,” and
then press ENTER.
6
When the JUPITER-50 asks if you’re sure, press F5 (OK) to
format the thumb drive.
Preparing the Synth Legends Thumb Drive
When you’ve downloaded and expanded the Synth Legends file, you’ll
have a folder called “SL_VOL1_JP50.” Inside this folder are two folders
JHSSLK¸(97,..06F7(;;,95:¹HUK¸963(5+¹)LZ\YLUV[[VHS[LY
the contents of this ROLAND folder.)
1
Mount the thumb drive on your computer’s desktop.
2
Drag both the
(97,..06F7(;;,95:
and ROLAND folders out
of the SL_VOL1_JP50 folder and onto the thumb drive’s desktop
icon—this places the two folders at the root level of the thumb
drive.
If you just want to skip straight to loading sounds, click
here
to jump
to “Importing Individual Synth Legends Sounds” on Page 6.
3
Safely eject the thumb drive from your computer as you would
any removable drive.
