Went to the ToneLib website and discovered a version packaged for Ubuntu!

I have used Ubuntu for about 10 years and wanted to use ToneLib a few months ago so got hold of a Windows PC just to run it.

This means I can get rid of that PC now. :woot:

Edit - When trying to install the Ubuntu version I get the error
Error:
Wrong architecture
'amd64'

when I look on System Monitor I have
Intel® Core™ i3-2312M CPU @ 2.10GHz × 4

It looks like I can't get rid of Windows just yet!

So what does it do/offer?

Like @PillO said, it's just a flavor of Linux. I like it because it's free, easy to use, and doesn't force updates on you. It also runs pretty well on my ancient computer.

Has anyone been doing much patch (file) sharing? I like the idea, but the relevant tonelib forum is a bit of a ghost town.

Anyone know if we could attach those files to a post here? Could be cool to have an accessible database of all the patch settings that have been discussed around here.

Amd64 is just th name for the 64 bit version, check to see if you’re using a 32 bit kernel or not. I suspect there’s a way to do it with uname but it’s been a long time.

And that’s why I can’t be bothered to deal with Linux. I started in 1995 or so and 23 years later it’s still half baked and fights you every chance it gets. I switched to Nextstep for awhile and then OS X but I’ve been really turned off on the whole integrated digital lifestyle thing. I tried going back to Linux, and again, still trash. I’m screwed.

Thanks for your help guys.

Google says
"If the uname -a output displays i386/i486/i586/i686, then the system is running 32bit Linux kernel. "

I tried this and sure enough I am running a 32 bit kernel. It's probably time I upgraded to a 64 bit version of Ubuntu MATE.

I m using tonelib for both zoom ms60b and b3n and it's really perfect.
The only thing I miss in it is that you can't move and insert a patch, when you move a patch, it's swapped with the other one.
All the rest is much better than zoom editor.

Is there a cross model copy function in ToneLib? There was a setting on the B3 that I would love to copy to my MS-60B. Besides doing it manually, is there another way?

The B3 uses a different editing format that is not compatible with ToneLib so that is not possible.

That's what I was afraid of, but had to ask.

@Tonelib
I'm running Win10 and have downloaded and installed the software, but neither the computer nor the software see the MS-60B. Any ideas?

****DISREGARD....My USB cable was "Power Only"...*****

Everything is working as it should. This is better than any of the Zoom editors. Excellent work!

I'd been running Tonelib on a Windows 10 VM (virtualbox) under Ubuntu Studio <- this has some nice audio tools to boot. It's good to have a native version.

I still can't dump the Windows VM, though. My car manuals and the software for diagnosing, tuning, flashing and replacing controllers in the cars is Windows-based. ;)

I hear you there!

Until 5 years ago I ran a Windows 98 PC with Cool Edit 2000 that I used for recording and editing rehearsals. I had it set up exactly as I wanted and it only ever did that one job, never went near the net, and never got updated. I still have it and occasionally boot it up for some strange reason.

When I switched to a hand held recorder for recording rehearsals I needed to update, W98 was just to far out of date so tried running Windows and Cool Edit 2000 with VM under Linux. It ran ok but the sound card drivers didn't work so I reluctantly switched to Audacity.

After tweaking the keyboard setup I was able to get it to 90% mimic what I'd had on Cool Edit (which was set up to mimic the VAX EDT editor that I used for years at work and was second nature to me).

I have an older airgapped PC running WIN XP because it supports all the software I had invested in and knew how to operate and cannot afford to update. In fact I have 3 PC and two Apples in my studio running different softwares, softsynths and such,

I tried asking in a specific thread but got nothing, so I'm gonna give it a shot here...

Tonelib (or anyone else that's technically literate).... would it be possible to edit / overwrite the drum loops on the devices?
I have a B1On and I'm looking for a "clave" loop, to study latin rythms.
Thanks

I did some digging into guts of firmware, seems that drum samples are *.raw files, IIRC that is some sub-type of *.wav; and patterns are more or less "generic", something like sound"pause-pause-sound pattern format. That is, it is possible but very complex (firmware have some sort of FAT fs going on, but misses FAT headers), and definitely is a hack.

Thanks for your response.
I'll guess I'll stick to my method of recording a loop of muted slap
