About

JMEd is a Mac OS X program to manage tracks on a Digitech JamMan looping pedal (a great product!). 

Free-- download here.

Here's a copy of the JamMan manual from Digitech.


Features



The JamMan has a USB port which shows the memory as an external drive.  In the finder it looks like this:

JMEd lets you set XML information directly-- the yellow-backed fields in the UI.

JMEd is a finder for the loops.  You can name, re-sort, and move them around, and print a text file for reference.

You can also view the waveform and play the loops.  













The sequencer lets you arrange a song by lining up components-- verse, chorus, etc-- and writing out a .wav file.

You can crop beats off a track to create vamps, intros, etc.

Loops can be subtracted, so a vocal track recorded over a guitar track can be separated into a solo vocal track.  This lets you use the JamMan as simple 4-track recorder, creating tracks to mix in e.g. GarageBand or Audacity.
