Kronut loads and saves Korg Kronos set lists to an editable text file.

To get Kronut, you'll need to download the source code and compile it.

You'll also need to install the http://portmedia.sourceforge.net/portmidi/ library and headers. If you use Homebrew then you can install it via brew install portmidi.

To compile the code, run make. To compile and run the tests, run make test.

$ ./kronut save my_set_list.org
$ # ...edit that file...
$ ./kronut load my_set_list.org

Run ./kronut --help to see all of the command line options.

Kronut tries to auto-detect the Kronos' MIDI input and output ports, but if it can't find them you can specify them on the command line. To list all of the available input and output ports, run ./kronut --list.

Kronut's save command works by reading the current set list from the Kronos and writing it to a file (or to stdout). The load command reads from a file (or stdout) and sends that to the current set list on the Kronos. Note that it doesn't save the set list. You'll have to do that on the Kronos.

By default, kronut loads and saves the current set list but there's a command line option that lets you specify which set list to save or load.

Files are written in either the Markdown or Org Mode format. The default is Org Mode. To use Markdown, use the --format command line argument.

Whenever a slot name or comment you enter too long, it is truncated before it is sent to the Kronos. When that happens, Kronut outputs the slot number and name and tells you if the name, comment, or both were too long.
