Is it available as a rack mount controllable from PC software ?

[kennisrussell]

@pobinr There is a not a rack mount GR-55 That I know of. There are some PC programs that edit patches though. I have never used them, but I know they exist.

Hey Kennis..As I have said earlier you have been a blessing to all GR55 owners...thanks for all the wonderful effort on these videos...I also own a GR55 and a Godin LGXT...quite similar to the xTSA but a higher version...Can you share some useful patches on GR55 that you use in combination with the Godin?...

[kennisrussell]

@navangulsaurabh I don't have anything like that. I'm sorry.

[pobinr]

Jeez rather compex. Would it be too simple to have straightforward menus to scroll to piano, organ harpsichord etc ?

The if you want enter each instrument into a memory location. Maybe you can ?

[kennisrussell]

@donaldatempleton I'll see if I can make a video of that. I'm glad it helped you.

@kennisrussell I too am a worship leader and thanks to you... I now have the GR-55 and Godin xtSA. I am wanting to start using it in worship in place of my Varaix and POD X3 Lve. I programmed your patch on the tutorial and it sounds great. I would love to hear some of your other custom patches. Peace and Belssings. :-Don

[navangulsaurabh]

@kennisrussell Sorry for not being clear on my request. I basically want to know if you have a GR55 librarian file that contains patches you use live with a Godin and GR55 combo..Something that I can readily import into the GR55 and check how they sound

[kennisrussell]

@navangulsaurabh I have a 4 part tutorial that shows one of the patches I put together, but other than that I do not have anything out there. I should though, I see about putting some patches out there for others to use.

[kennisrussell]

@Jungleboy867 Yes. The way patches are stored is in banks and patches. So there is 3 patches per bank. Like 01-1, 01-2, 01-3, that are controlled by the feet. Then with you Gk-3 pickup you witch up or down to the next bank like 02-1... So you never have to bend down. One think to mention though, is that there is a 1/2 second pause on all sound coming out when you switch patches or banks. So you basically have to stop playing, then switch your patch. I hope that helps
