Added feature to Tone Control... 08-11-04

What is ToneControl? ToneControl allows you to locate your Line 6 "tones" in a flexible way by navigating a dynamic tree structure. Please note that ToneControl is not a tone editor, nor does it store the actual tone file. Do not delete your tones after "adding" them to ToneControl . Also, back up your tones!

• Current version is version 0.81. ToneControl has been updated to handle launching Line 6 Edit v2.x. (nov. 04)
• If you are unfamiliar with the Tone Control program, click here to get more info
• Download the installer if you want automation and an everything-in-one package.
• Added "Auditioner" functionality. Right-clicking on a tree folder or tone and selecting "Add Tone(s) to Auditioner" will add the tones to a list. You can then have ToneControl automatically load the tones one after another, waiting a specified number of seconds between loads. Pressing enter on a tone in the tree now loads the tone.

  Go to the ToneControl website and download the new version

  Note before using the program, backup your patches

NOTE: The installer is not an .exe file but a .jar file. If you have Java installed properly, you can just double-click on the jar file and it will launch the installer. If that does not work try right-clicking on the jar file, choose the "Open With" menu and select "javaw". If that does not work for you either, I suggest you re-install the Java Runtime Environment.

What is ToneControl?

ToneControl allows you to locate your Line 6 "tones" in a flexible way by navigating a dynamic tree structure.

Please note that ToneControl is not a tone editor, nor does it store the actual tone file. Do not delete your tones after "adding" them to ToneControl . Also, back up your tones!

ToneControl Concept and Operation

ToneControl is very easy to use. The idea behind ToneControl came from the fact that the way files are stored on any file system is inherently counterintuitive to the way we look for information. The hierarchy produced by your file system is fine for information that only has one parameter, but as soon as something is "more than one thing", this falls apart. For example, if you have a document describing an object that is blue and round, do you put the document in the "blue stuff" folder or in the "round stuff" folder? You could, of course, make a copy of the document and place it in both folders but that would be quite ineffective.

The solution to this is, and has been for many years, to store the information in databases. The documents are often stored outside the database, but information about the document's contents is stored inside the database. Once inside the database, searches can be made for documents about objects that are "both blue and round".

The problem that still exists in many document management systems is that to search for documents, the user has to type in the query strings, sometimes with convoluted syntaxes.

In ToneControl you don't have to type anything (if you don't want to). The tree view changes dynamically as you add refinements to the "query". You start off from any of the top-level categories "By Author", "By Amp", "By Song", etc. Once you double click on any of these top-level nodes, the database is queried for all tones and displays them grouped together "By Band" (for example). So now you have a list of bands such as Boston, Rush, Eric Johnson or what have you. The node with the name Rush will contain all tones that where made to emulate the guitar sound heard on Rush albums (hopefully). Double clicking on the node will show all these tones. However, maybe you would like to refine the query more, say by showing only sounds designed for single-coil pickup guitars. Just right-click on the Rush node and select "By Pickup" from the Refine pop-up menu. The view now changes to show Rush songs grouped "By Pickup". You can continue to refine the query further until all categories have been used up.

Once a tone has been found (and clicked on), the infrormation about the tone is displayed in the right side pane. Below this pane are two buttons labeled "Load" and "Edit". These buttons allow you to load the tone into your device or edit the tone. Both of these tasks are accomplished via Line 6's very own Line 6 Edit application. If Line 6 Edit is already started, ToneControl will just send commands to it. If it is not started, ToneControl will start it up for you (if you have not elected to disable this feature).

There is just one thing you need to do before you can use this system: you need to add your tones to the database. To do that, click on the "Add Folder" toolbar button or select the Database->Add Folder to Database menu option. Select a folder that contains your tones. Each tone file will be read and information about the tone (NOT the tone file itself) will be extracted and stored in the database. Please note that, depending on the number of tones in the directory and the performance of your computer, this could take a while.

If you prefer, you can also add tones individually. Click on the "Add Tone" toolbar button or choose Database->Add Tone To Database. You can now select one or more files to add to the database.

ToneControl uses a few other products to accomplish its functionality, please see the licenses directory:

• HSQL Database Engine. All the tone information is stored in this embedded database. HSQL is the continuation of Hypersonic SQL Project . So, in other words, this product uses Hypersonic SQL.
• The Kunststoff Look&Feel. The "skin" on ToneControl the completely free and beautiful Kunststoff Look&Feel.
• Fast MD5 Implementation in Java. This set of classes provides a fast implementation of the MD5 hashing algorithm. ToneControl uses this to uniquely identify tone files.
• Line 6 Edit. Last but definitely not least, it uses the Line 6 Edit application. Special thanks go to "kharmapolice" and the Line 6 Edit dev team for providing the hooks needed by ToneControl to communicate with Line 6 Edit.
• Online documentation.
• Tonecontrol website
