 Library Titles 

1. GRAB_BAG.pat, pfm, ptn, mtn, syp
	Includes E.Piano sounds indispensable for playing ensembles,
        and also offers dance-type sounds suitable for today's musical
	styles.

	* The eight sounds U11-U18 use RPS (p. 76 in the Owner's
	  Manual).
	  RPS is assigned to the keys specified in a Performance name.
	  Playing the upper part along with this RPS is very effective.
	  Sounds U21 and 22 use the Individual Trigger function.

	Note in particular that the U21 sound will not be heard if the
	C2 key is not pressed.


2. TECHNO 1.pat, pfm
	Variations of sounds used in the Techno music scene.
	* Sounds U11, 41, and 81 use the Individual Trigger function
          (see p. 88 in the Owner's Manual).
	  Playing the C2 key and playing chords in the upper part is
          very effective.


3. TECHNO 2.pat, pfm
	More variations of sounds used in the Techno music scene.
	* Sounds U11, 41, and 81 use the Individual Trigger function.
	  Playing the C2 key and playing chords in the upper part is
          very effective.

 What is "WinJPLib"? 
This software allows your computer to retrieve (Get) JP-8000 sounds
(Performances and Patches), as well as RPS Pattern data and Motion
Control data used to automatically carry out sound changes.
Furthermore, since you can use your computer to rearrange and rename
data loaded from the JP-8000, editing is a snap. You can save edited
data to disk or other media, making it possible for you to handle
enormous numbers of sounds. Then, when you need to, you can load
(Send) the saved data back into the JP-8000.

With this software, you can:

	1. Get data (from the JP-8000 into your personal computer) and
           Send data (from your computer to the JP-8000)
	2. Edit the arrangement and names of data
	3. Preview Patches and Performances (for checking the sound)


However, the software does not allow you to:
	1. Change individual data parameters
	2. Limit the amount of data with Get and Send
	3. Get and Send SMF data
