About the Roland InFocus Booklets
Hot Links
Each InFocus booklet is meant to be read in order from
beginning to end. However, if we mention an upcoming
section—and you see this arrow—you can click the arrow to
jump there immediately.
Roland’s InFocus booklets provide important basic background
information that can help you get the most out of your Roland/BOSS
products. While there’s always plenty to say about any one instrument,
there are some topics that apply to a wide range of instruments. Each
InFocus booklet discusses one of these larger topics.
For information about a specific product, check out the Roland U.S.
Web site at

What Is the Librarian?
The Librarian is a computer-based application that loads data from
a Roland/BOSS product for organization, and then storage on your
computer. The data can be re-loaded into the product as you need it.
About This Booklet
Many Roland/BOSS products ship with Roland’s Librarian software. Use
the Librarian to store your product’s data on your computer, and then
reload the data into your product as you need it. The Librarian unlocks
the ability to really dig into a product, since it lets you save virtually
unlimited amounts of product data on your computer’s hard drive. If
you’re less ambitious, the Librarian can also simply store a backup
copy of your product’s User memory on your computer.
This booklet tells you how to install and use Roland’s Librarian
software. We’re going to assume you know how to use your computer—
if you don’t, please consult its documentation.
The Librarian works with all sorts of things, including patches, effects,
setups, and more, depending on your product. We’ll use the word
“data” here as a catch-all term for anything from your product the
Librarian can handle. We’ll also use “patch” and “item” as stand-ins
for whatever individual objects
your
product contains.
While we’re at it, sorry about our referring to your Roland/BOSS
Whatever as a “product” in this booklet. It’s just that we’ll be
discussing the use of the Librarian with too many, er, products to refer
to them by name. In the product-specific instructions later in the
booklet, we won’t need to do this.
Understanding the Symbols in This Booklet
Throughout this booklet, you’ll come across information that deserves
special attention—that’s the reason it’s labeled with one of the
following symbols.
What the Librarian Helps You Do
The Librarian lets you
•
back up your User data—
by making a copy of it on your computer’s
hard drive.
•
re-arrange the order of things—
for quick selection as you use the
product onstage or in your studio.
•
organize your own creations—
in ways that make sense to you.
•
create more User data than will fit in the product at one time—
by stashing
it in the Librarian for organization, storage, and later retrieval.
•
work with different setups for different situations—
by stashing alternate
setups in the Librarian for later use.
A note is something that adds information about the topic at hand.
A tip offers suggestions for using the feature being discussed.
Warnings contain important information that can help you avoid
possible damage to your equipment, your data, or yourself.

How the Librarian Works, Generally-Speaking
The Librarian brings all your data into “libraries.” A library is a
collection of data. You can create multiple libraries, each of which
contains data that you feel belongs in one clump. Each library is saved
on your hard disk as a file.
You can create and save all sorts of libraries. How about a gig library
containing the User data you need onstage, and a studio library for
recording sessions? You could have a library of factory User patches,
and have another library containing patches you’ve created, or a
library of a particular project’s data, and on and on.
The Two Librarians
There are two types of Librarian: the “live Librarian” and the
“offline Librarian.” (We just made these names up; you won’t
see them anywhere else.) If you’re not clear on the type of
librarian your product uses, see the product-specific section
later in this booklet.
The Live Librarian
The Librarian for most Roland/BOSS products exchanges data with a
product’s User memory in realtime using USB or MIDI connection. This
allows you to preview patches and so on from within the Librarian.
You can also grab and return product data instantly as you work in a
live Librarian.
The Librarian presents each library’s data in a
simple grid. Each line in the grid holds an item
of some sort from your product.
A library typically contains a few different grids,
one for each type of data your product holds.
Here’s a Fantom-G
live set.
User-memory data...
...goes back to User memory.

...is received by the Librarian.
Data from the Librarian...
This grid shows the Fantom-G
live sets in a library.
If a library has multiple grids, you can select
the one you want from a Mode popup menu in
its upper-left corner. The Librarian works with
one type of data at a time—the one whose grid
is currently visible.
Within each grid, you can use copying and pasting to move things
around until they’re in the order you want. We’ll discuss the actual
operations you can perform in a library later in this booklet.
In the illustration above, we’re showing a live librarian that uses a USB
connection. The Librarian for your product may use a USB connection,
a MIDI connection, or offer you a choice of either option.
The live Librarian exchanges data with your product’s User memory. If
your product uses a memory card—instead of a USB memory stick—the
card’s data must first be copied into your product’s User memory to be
exchanged with the Librarian.

You don’t
need
to know this under-the-hood info to use the Librarian,
but for those who like tech details: The Librarian works by exchanging
MIDI SysEx data with your product. To learn about MIDI, you can
check out our
An Introduction to MIDI
InFocus booklet, which you can

Using a USB vs a MIDI Live Connection
If your Librarian offers a choice of either a USB or MIDI connection,
you’ll have to make a choice as to which works best for you. Here are
the plusses and minuses:

The upside:
The downside:
The offline Librarian doesn’t require the installation of driver software
on your computer since it doesn’t communicate directly with the
product via USB.
USB connection
All you need to make
the connection is a
single USB cable
You’ll need to install
your product’s
USB driver on your
computer.
Additional Librarian documentation beyond this booklet is available in
the Librarian’s Help menu.
MIDI connection
If your product is
already integrated
into a larger MIDI
rig, you don’t need
to add a USB cable.
Also, you won’t need
to install driver
software.
You’ll need a MIDI
interface (purchased
separately) and two
MIDI cables.
Installing Roland Software on Your Computer
In this booklet we’ll discuss installing Roland software for the following
computer operating (OS) systems:
•
Windows XP™
•
Windows Vista™
•
Windows 7™
•
Mac OS X™
Check the documentation included with your product’s software to
learn the specific operating system requirements for its Librarian
software.
If you’ll be using a USB connection, read the driver-installation
instructions at the right of this page.
The Offline Librarian
The offline Librarian works on data files you’ve manually copied to
your computer from the product. When you’re done working with the
data in the Librarian, you copy the data files back to your product.
The “offline Librarian” lets you work with your product data even
when you’re physically away from your product. As of this writing,
only two products have an offline Librarian: the Roland Fantom-G and
Roland V-Synth GT.
If you connect your Roland/BOSS product to your computer via USB,
you’ll typically get the best results using USB jacks on the back of a
desktop computer or on the side of a laptop. We recommend not using
a hub.

Though your product’s Librarian software can be found on the CD-ROM
it shipped with. However, since we’re always improving and enhancing
the software for our products, we recommend downloading the latest
version from the product’s page on the RolandUS.com or BOSSUS.com
website. Be sure to select the correct download for your computer’s
operating system.
For most products, the Librarian software is included with Editor
software—when this is the case, the two applications are also usually
installed in a single operation. In cases where there’s no Editor, you’ll
find a Librarian installer. In older products, there may be separate
installers for the Editor and Librarian.
If you’ll be using a USB connection for the live Librarian,
keep reading. Otherwise—if you’ll be using MIDI or an offline
Librarian—you can jump to the installation instructions for the
Librarian (or Editor/Librarian) software.
If an “Install Program as Other User” dialog appears, quit the installer,
and then log in as the system administrator before re-launching the
Setup application from Step 3.
