This document is a users guide to the latest version of special software for the Lexicon JamMan hardware. The software was developed to run in a standard JamMan with a revised front panel so that it could be evaluated (and possibly enjoyed) by JamMan owners. This is not released Lexicon software and is NOT warrented by Lexicon! Any and all inquires regarding this software should be made to Bob Sellon only at 978-670-6098 or "sellon@mediaone.com". Lexicon sales and customer service departments will provide no support for this software.

The only required hardware modification is the ROM change. With this relatively small amount of work you get a significant inhancement of the JamMan functionality.

***PLEASE NOTE - This software has NOT been extensively tested nor has this users guide been extensively edited. This is being provided to you as a sort of primer to a potential future product. As such, proceed with caution. I have not experienced any audible bugs (loud noises, etc) but there are certainly some functional ones and the potential for both. The main objective for writing this code was to try out these ideas not to produce shipable code. Nonetheless, if you enjoyed JamMan, I'm sure you will enjoy this.
