Playing around with my Katana 100 I got a bit confused about the LiveSet settings: very well editable with a PC but quite obscure when being at rehearsal or at a gig. (searching for some FX that's in 1 Patch, only ...).

I remember the day when I got my amp: it was quite helpful to have the small overview of settings, hanging on the handle of the amp. After a short while I lost mine and over time the sheet would have gotten more and more useless (because changing the settings, switching to firmware version 2 ... ).

So I wrote a tiny Java application that allows printing the applied AmpType, PreampType, FX etc. to a DIN A4 sheet of paper in the same manner as the default settings-sheet.

You may download the Java application as a binary from the Bitbucket-Repo
https://bitbucket.org/reichart/katana-liveset-pretty-printer/downloads/
but you are (of course) free to clone the project and apply your own changes, enhance the application and hopefully notify me with a pull request so that other users can profit, too. The application is licensed Apache 2.0.

Current version is a in fully functional Beta-State ( 0.8 ), but there may still be some issues.

The UI is quite basic and the functionality may be described as:


  • Load a .tsl File (from the BOSS Tone Central Application)

  • Export a .pdf File for printing

Great

FWIW  - I believe Gumtowns Katana FX FLoorboard editor also supports printing out all effects settings

Great idea! With all the Katana options, it's easy to lose track of which knob controls what effect~
