I have a johnson j station  and I really like the jedit software that it utilizes via midi. anyone have any experience with this in a 64 bit environment? I'm about to take the plunge and get anew system that I hope to utilize windows 7 64 bit. It's a stand alone unit,but the editing sofware makes it about a zillion times easier to use. Your thoughts?

I got my J Edit software working on Windows 7 64 bit by doing the following:
1) Right-click on the installer (JEdit12a.exe) and choose "Run as Administrator"
2) Follow the instructions to install the program.
3) When prompted to restart, go ahead and restart.
4) To start the program, right click on the Start Menu item "Johnson J-edit" and choose "Run as administrator."
5) Edit away...

To set up the start menu item so you don't have to always right-click to "Run as adminstrator" do the following:
1) Click Start menu and right-click on the menu item "Johnson J-edit" and choose "Properties"
2) Click on the "Advanced" tab
3) Check the box labeled "Run as administrator"
4) Click "OK"
5) Click "OK" on the Properties window.
 
Now it will run as administrator every time.
So glad I got it working. Woo Hoo! I hope this helps others.

I know this is an older thread - but I had to say thanks. I just installed Win8 and this works. I was sweating this one out. Not having the j-station was almost a deal breaker for upgrading to win8.
 
 

Glad to hear it did some good for you. Thanks. Wally

Off topic, I know, but.... what guitar is that in your avatar, Wally?

Gibson The Paul. Bought in 1978 or 1979 after working myself into a bout of mono.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibson_The_Paul/ I see you have an L5? very nice.

Pulling up this thread - again -  because of problems. J-Station (J-Edit) worked with Windows 8 flawlessly for a couple of months and now it doesn't. The program loads, but I see the message it can't find a midi device even though I changed nothing at the time except Windows updates. I tried a couple of midi devices and I don't think that's the problem - they are working fine with other outboard gear. Luckily I have a Vista loaded laptop (when did that become lucky ) that is filling in as a J-Station controller. Sure would be nice to have it back into Windows 8. Thinking of downgrading to Windows 7 just for J-Edit. 

I have searched the internet and found this to be the most active thread on this subject, so I am posting this here hoping some genius with The Answer with show up..
 
I also am running Windows 7 64-bit, which I just installed last August 27, 2012, and I immediately tried to run J-edit. (Which worked fine under my old win XP box.) Installing and running as an Administrator (which as sole owner/builder/user I am) allowed me to install and run the programs, but it failed to find the J-station via my M-audio/delta Audiophile sound card's hardware midi connection. (I can use my Yamaha keyboard connected to the same midi port with no problem).
 
I then bought and connected a USB midi cable, which windows says is working fine.  It shows up in the J-edit midi settings, I can select it and it still does not find the J-station!!!  I'm about ready to buy a new "J-station like" device, but I would rather not as I love the sound of the J-station, and have no way of knowing if any other device would be found by my ****ed windows 7 64 bit system....
 
If anyone has any new suggestions please post them here.
