Back up KRIS-JANGLE
Save what KRIS-JANGLE keeps to a file on this computer, and load them back later. Connect the FM-1 with a USB cable. This page works in Chrome or Edge, and there is nothing to install.
Plug the FM-1 running KRIS-JANGLE into this computer with a USB cable.
Is the FM-1 under another name?
A computer can show an FM-1's port under another device's name (a Mac remembers names by USB socket). This page asks only the ports with an FM-1's usual names by itself. If your FM-1 is in this list, press Try on it.
Back up
This saves everything to a .ccb file. That includes everything KRIS-JANGLE saves. KRIS-JANGLE can keep playing. If you have changes that aren't saved yet, stop KRIS-JANGLE first so they go in the file too.
Restore
This puts a backup back on KRIS-JANGLE, and it replaces everything there. Stop KRIS-JANGLE first. KRIS-JANGLE checks the whole file before anything changes. Then its screen asks RESTORE FROM USB? Press SEL on the FM-1 to restore, or HOME to keep what you have.
- A backup doesn't hold the button calibration: it belongs to the FM-1.
- A cut cable or a damaged file changes nothing. Even a power cut during the write leaves either what was there or the backup, never a mix.
- The browser asks once for permission to use MIDI with SysEx. Allow it, and close other apps that use the FM-1's MIDI first.
- You can also back up from a terminal. Run
python3 tools/fm1_backup.pyin fm1-base's repository. It does the same, and makes the same files.
