mapPatch - Map/copy patches between the Roland JU-06 and JU-06A

Before you start, make sure you download and install node.js:

https://nodejs.org/en/download/

Usage:

Place the mapPatch.js file in a folder in close relation to the patches, eg.

boutique
│   mapPatch.js

└───JU-06A
│      JU06A_PATCH76.PRM
│
└───JU-06
│
|
└───dest

Open terminal app on Mac or CMD or Powershell on Windows. Navigate to the folder and write cd and a space:

cd

and drag the folder to the terminal to get the path. Then press enter.

To run the script, enter the following command:

node mapPatch.js <file> <destination>

Where file is the relative path to the patch, and destination is a folder. Make sure to create to folder before usage, or the script will fail. Example using the folder structure from above:

node mapPatch.js JU-06A/JU06A_PATCH76.PRM dest

Or output the patch directly to the JU-06 folder:

node mapPatch.js JU-06A/JU06A_PATCH76.PRM JU-06

Gotchas:

There is 5 parameters on the JU-06A that the JU-06 doesn't have:

• LFO WAVE
• LFO TRIG
• SUB SW
• DELAY SW
• TEMPO SYNC

So if you have a JU-06A patch where these are an important part, the copy may sound different.
