1. The Import Library and Export Selection commands are for import and export of Modules Any imported Module is incorporated into the currently opened Interface at the level of hierarchy you choose and you can select any group of Objects for export as a Module to the file system Please note that you can also import and export Interface elements via contextual menus that can be triggered in many parts on the user interface Use the Copy Cut and Paste commands as you know them from other applications They are also available via contextual menus The last two commands on the left side of the Toolbar are the Undo Redo buttons You can roll back an unlimited number of JazzEditor commands with this system 3 1 1 2 Configuration tools The Toolbar also contains commands for configuring the Lemur To the left you have the Memory Display showing you the percentage of the Lemur s memory that is occupied by your Project This is for reference only The MIDI Mapping button opens a window with all MIDI mappings used in the current Project If you activate the Lemur Synchronization button any changes to Objects states on the Lemur will also be reflected in the JazzEditor This can be very handy for saving a Project including the state of all Objects One shot synchronization can be achieved via the F5 key on your computer keyboard The Lemur Synchronization of course only works if you have the same Project running on your computer and
2. The connections created from a Daemon are saved in its preferences They will be automatically remade when the Daemon is launched If the connections can t be re established because the Lemur is connected the entries on the Daemon s MIDI settings are greyed out At the moment an awaited Lemur appears on the network the Daemon makes the corresponding connection If you need to have several MIDI setups depending on which computer the Lemur is hooked to you should create the connections from the Daemons this way whenever you plug your Lemur to any PC the relevant connections are made 3 3 2 1 Lemur MIDI Settings eS Se Oooo a C Doo a oS en ee ray pee The Lemur User Manual The MIDI Settings screen on the Lemur displays the currently defined MIDI Targets There can be up to eight of them The MIDI communication is bi directional meaning you can choose a MIDI input port incoming to the Lemur anda MIDI output port outgoing from the Lemur Which ports are present on the menu depends on the ports presented by the MIDI Daemons currently running on the network Please have a look at chapter 3 3 2 for further detail A MIDI Daemon has to run on the computer for working with MIDI as the MIDI data is not generated on the Lemur itself Touch the Input or Output of a Target to be changed on the MIDI screen of the Lemur You get a list of currently available Daemons on the network gt JULIEN 127 0 0 1 8001 gt Ti
