FLIB

fsex - Fantom SysEx Utility

fsex [options] [action] [sources [destination]]

flib is a utility to manage data from the librarian program of Fantom, Juno-G and other Roland synthesizers based on the XV engine. Currently supported formats are .jgl, .fxl and .fsl.

The following options can be used when running flib:

-f, --force

Force overwrite of existing output files.

-q, --quiet

Don’t print messages to stdout.

Exactly one of the following actions should be selected when running flib:

-e, --extract

Extract the listed patches from the input files and write to the output file. See section SOURCE FORMAT below for the format specification.

-l, --list

List patches from the input files.

-h, --help

Show a short summary of command-line options.

-V, --version

Print version information.

The sources can be specified in a ‘filename:patch_list’ format where patch_list is a comma-separated list of numeric ranges or patch categories. An optional ‘!’ can be used at the beginning of patch_list to invert the list. If no patch list is specified, all patches in filename are selected.

List patches in a Juno-G JGL file:

flib -l Sineshine.jgl

Create a new library called New.jgl containing patches 2, 4, 5 and 6 from Sineshine.jgl:

flib -e Sineshine.jgl:2,4-6 New.jgl

Create a new library called New.jgl containing the first patch from Sineshine.jgl plus all patches in XV_Collection.jgl except the first one:

flib -e Sineshine.jgl:1 XV_Collection.jgl:!1 New.jgl

Create a new library file containing all piano and electric piano patches from XV_Collection.jgl:

flib -e XV_Collection.jgl:PNO,EP New.jgl

Certainly we have some, but we don’t know where they are. Please report any bugs you find.
