Finally, a loop librarian for the JamMan "Classic"
(mono/non-stereo) looper pedal. If you previously used the
LooperTools librarian or were just manually
editing the data on your device, now you have another
alternative!
I'm a musician and software developer - I was frustrated that my
JamMan device no longer had a working librarian (that I knew of) so
I wrote my own. I share it with you now, for FREE, however,
if you find the tool useful, you are encouraged to make a small donation via
PayPal. Thank you!

NOTICE OF BETA SOFTWARE (STABLE AS OF
1/24/2012)
The downloadable versions of this tool are now
stable. I've fixed the major bugs and am now using
this software as my own personal librarian for my JamMan (mono)
device. That said, there are still some known issues and
missing features, so:
BACKUP YOUR JAMMAN CARD BEFORE USING THIS
LIBRARIAN. I've done my absolute best to ensure your
loops are protected. I'm a musician too. But backup in
case! See the latest bugs and issues
here.
Installation Instructions
This tool was built with MonoDevelop
on Ubuntu and Windows and uses the GTK# libraries and other Mono
libraries. To run this application you will need to:
- Get the latest release/binaries for the
JamManClassicLooperManager (see Latest Downloads above) -
unzip the installation file and copy the files to the directory of
your choice.
- If installing for the first time or on a new machine,
download and install the Mono runtime files for your
operating system
- Launch the JamManLooperManager.exe from
the command line - for example: C:>mono
C:\JMCLM\JamManLooperManager.exe (NOTE: this may change in
the future!)
Again, you can't just launch the exe directly (at least in
Windows) - run it from the command line per the example above.

Create A Batch File (Windows) to Launch this App
In the directory where your JamManClassicLooperManager.exe
file is, create a new file with your text editor called
Launch.bat
Paste the following text:
@echo off
PATH=C:\PROGRA~2\MONO-2~1.8\bin;%PATH%
start mono JamManClassicLooperManager.exe
exit
Note that the text following the PATH= part in
your batch file may be different on your machine. You can get
the Mono Runtime install path by doing a bit of investigation,
e.g., Start/Run type "Mono" and right click on the "Mono Command
Prompt" item and select "Properties" - there you will see the full
path listed. Once you have a Launch.bat file (or whatever you
want to call it) all you need to do is double click that and the
librarian will launch - no need to go to the command line!
