- How Do I Install Patches Into My BOSS GT-10?
1. First download and install the GT-10 USB Driver by visiting this webpage: http://www.bossus.com/gear/productdetails.php?ProductId=941 [When you are on that webpage click DOWNLOADS, then download and install the GT-10 USB Driver; You may have to re-start your computer for the driver to activate].
2. Then download and install the GT-10 Librarian Version 1.00 software from this webpage: http://www.bossus.com/gear/productdetails.php?ProductId=941 [When you are on that webpage Click DOWNLOADS, then download and install the GT-10 Librarian Version 1.00].
3. Open the GT-10 Librarian Version 1.00 software you just installed, click the SETUP menu at the top, click the Setup MIDI Devices option, then change both the Input: and Output: to BOSS GT-10; and then click OK.
4. Connect a USB-cable to your BOSS GT-10 and computer.
5. Make sure the BOSS GT-10 is powered ON.
6. A BOSS GT-10 patch by James Limborg will be e-mailed to you in a .ZIP file. Each .zip file contains 3-files (.mid .gxg .syx); You will only need the .mid file when importing that BOSS GT-10 patch into the GT-10 Librarian Version 1.00 software. UN-ZIP the file/s you received from James Limborg (and remember the location on the hard-drive where you un-zipped the file/s). I use a program called 7-ZIP which you can download for free here: http://download.cnet.com/7-Zip/3000-2250_4-10045185.html?tag=mncol;4
7. On your computer open the GT-10 Librarian Version 1.00 software (if it is not already open). Click the FILE menu at the top left, select Import SMF…, then search your computer for the BOSS GT-10 patch files you previously un-zipped and select one of the .mid files. This will load my BOSS GT-10 patch file into the GT-10 Librarian 1.00 software; and you should see the patch name listed in the Main Window under PatchName and to the right of Number U01-1.
8. Click the ‘Temporary Write’ check-box to the left of Number U01-1 one-time and the BOSS GT-10 patch will ‘temporarily’ be placed into the U01-1 user-preset in the BOSS GT-10. You must click the ‘Temporary Write’ check-box again (or press the WRITE button on the BOSS GT-10) to SAVE that patch into the BOSS GT-10 ‘permanently’.
9. Now you can move that patch to any user-preset you want by pressing the WRITE button on the BOSS GT-10, turning the dial on the BOSS GT-10 to select one of the other user-presets [U01-1 to U50-4], and pressing WRITE again to save the patch to the user-preset you selected.
