What's so big about that? Any system exclusive file utility can do the same thing, why is this important?
Well, the simplicity and visual aspect of this process is so novel that really anyone with basic computer skills can do
it. This makes the process of file/patch sharing very easy. It's surprising that there aren't many amazing JU-06 or
other Roland Boutique patches out there for the sharing and contributing to isn't it? It's possible that this process is
just so easy, and painless to do that people still believe they need to connect a cassette deck, and record the sysex
audio to tapes and then ship them to friends in order to share their files. Or many people are afraid to give away their
precious patches? I'm not sure, but I think it's pretty cool, and I plan to come up with a bank of patches or two and
offer them up for anyone interested in them. I'd also be very keen to see how others have undertaken the JU-06 in
their own situations. Can you tell I think that patch exchanges are awesome? I do. And while I rarely use patches
from other sound designers, I love to explore what synthesizers are capable of, and sometimes the best way to do
that is by seeing how Vince Clarke, or someone I've never heard of does it.
Restore the JU-06 to factory settings:
This is the procedure for resetting your JU-06 back to it's factory state. Remember that if you do this, all your settings
and all your sounds will be overwritten with the out of the box, factory fresh programming.
1. While holding down the BANK 1 button, turn on the power.
2. The MANUAL button will blink. If it doesn't try that again. If you change your mind and decide not to go through
with the reset, just power off the JU-06 and then turn it back on.
3. To execute the rest press the MANUAL button
4. When all the buttons blink, restart the JU-06 and it'll be just the way it was the day you got it.

Auto Off

so that the synthesizer doesn't turn off.

1 - OFF - the power will not turn off
2. - 30 - the power will automatically switch off after 30 minutes.
