Description
4OP Librarian is an application for the Macintosh which allows you to make up library of voice data for 4-Operator Systhesizer by YAMAHA. One window has one voice data, and you can open windows as many as you want. (It's only limited by partition size of the application.) When this application receives bulk dump MIDI data, new window will open and show you the parameter. You can keep 32 patches in one file, so it's easy to replace 4-Operator Systhesizer's internal patches.
(I have NOT checked for all of the synth, though.)

This application requires :
Macintosh with 68020 or higher / PowerPC

How to use
If you have 4-Operator Synthesizer, I think it's very easy to use this application. All you have to do is to click parameter you want to change. Then you will see dialogs which enables you to change parameter. If “Send When Changed” item in Transmit menu is checked, parameter change Sys.Ex MIDI data will out while you change some parameter.
In 32Patches window, you can re-arrange order of voices by drag-drop.
EXTRACT button opens the new window with selected voice parameter.
When you select “32Patches” in Transmit menu, a dialog which includes two lists is shown. The list labeled “Source Voices” shows each windows you opened, and remaining list labeled “32 Voices” is correspod to 4-Operator Synthesizer's internal voices. You can drag-copy between each list. When you fill up right list, OK button will enabled and you can send MIDI bulk dump Sys.Ex data to 4-Operator Synthesizer or save 32Patches into a file.
Only operations in this dialog won't recorded by Apple Script.
If you hold down Option key when you select Windows menu, instead of window title, voice name will shown in the menu.
About auto-connection to OMS:
1) If the stdio setup currently used has DX100, DX21, DX27, DX27S, TX81Z, WT11, TQ5, YS100, YS200, B200, V2 or V50, 4OP Librarian connect to them automatically. And the maximum number of the synth is set to 256 now. (I can't imagine 256 synths are connected to one Mac, can you? So I think 256 is enough.)
2) If the studio setup doesn't have them, 4OP Librarian outs MIDI data by port, Modem port and Printer port. (Connection for input port is the same.)
