sir GT-10 user din me, i have a question or wishful thinking lang
di ba pag may USB, Boss can issue a downloadable software to correct these
issues as a firmware update. Maybe some corrective programming is only needed to get
our desired tones and remove unwanted fizz
Comrade kyxz,
Sorry to say Boss Roland never or just once gave System version 1.02 firmware update on GT10 to fix minor on PATCH CHANGE MODE (latency from smooth to fast)
==============================================================
Check first the Version you have, mine already v1.02
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
GT-10 SYSTEM PROGRAM Ver1.02
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Viewing the current version number:
Check the version number before updating the GT-10.
The update is not necessary if the version is current.
1. Hold down [DISPLAY MODE] button and turn on the power.
Continue to hold [DISPLAY MODE] until "GT-10 GUITAR EFFECTS
PROCESSOR" appears in the display. After a few seconds, the
version will appear.
2. Turn off the power.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Required items needed for the update
- PC/MAC with "UpdSMF update application" or MIDI sequencer
that can efficiently transfer the SMF files.
- MIDI cable or USB cable
Note: If you use USB to transfer the files, the GT-10 USB
Drivers must be installed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Warning about this update
- If you are unfamiliar with the process of updating the
software in an electronic musical device, it is highly
recommended that you have it performed by an Authorized
Roland/BOSS service center.
- It is highly recommend that you backup your user patches
before you perform the update. If a problem occurs and your
user patches are lost, you will be able to restore the user
information by reloading the data you saved.
- Don't use this system update for any product other than the
GT-10. Doing so could damage the data or system of the other
product.
- Do not power-off the GT-10 while the update is in progress.
If the power should accidentally turn off during the update,
the GT-10 system will be damaged, and the unit will become
inoperable.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Download and uncompressing the file
1. Download the "gt10_sys_v102.zip" into a suitable folder -
preferably on your desktop.
2. After uncompressing the zip file, a "gt10_sys_v102" folder will
appear which includes 32 SMF files (gt10_002.mid - gt10_032.mid,
gt10_065.mid).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
System Update Procedure
1. Make sure the GT-10 power switch is off.
2. Connect the PC's MIDI OUT to the GT-10s MIDI IN.
If you're using USB, connect the PC and the GT-10 with a USB
cable.
3. Simultaneously hold down the CHANNEL SELECT, DISPLAY MODE, and
WRITE buttons and turn on the power. After several seconds the
following appears in the display;
| SYSTEM UPDATER |
|BOOT:V*.** FIRM:V*.**|
4. Release the buttons.
5. In the computer, make sure the sleep function is disabled.
6. Send the GT.mid files in numerical order from the external SMF
player / sequencer. The transfer process takes approximately 30-
40 minutes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Example using the UpdSMF program
1. Double click the UpdSMF icon.
2. Choose the MIDI Device from the "MIDI Out Device" list. If you’re
using USB to transfer the files, choose BOSS GT-10.
3. Click "Path," and choose the folder where the GT-10 update SMF
files exist. If you're using UpdSMF for Mac OS X, Click "Select...".
4. Click "Scan SMF." The SMF files will populate in numerical order in
the files field.
5. Click "Send." The following appears in the GT-10 display;
| SYSTEM UPDATER |
|BOOT:V*.** FIRM:V*.**|
|Now Receiving... |
6. After receiving all the SMF files, the display writing appears.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Do not turn off the GT-10 power.
| SYSTEM UPDATER |
|BOOT:V*.** FIRM:V*.**|
|Now Writing... |
7. When the update is finished, Completed display appears.
| SYSTEM UPDATER |
|BOOT:V*.** FIRM:V*.**|
|Completed |
Turn off the GT-10 power switch, and disconnect the MIDI or USB cable.
Confirm the GT-10 version has been updated using the version check
procedure (above).
==============================================================
If you lately just bought your GT10 here in the Philippines (mine has System version 1.02 already and i bought it last 2yrs 2008 June) Yours might already been upgrated to 1.02 (if you like to check it out just do the first procedure at the top no sweat)
NOW for your wishful thinking (just as mine for Roland)
Note (This is not to jive other brand) Even other digital multiFx(company/brand) doing religiously firmware update (sad unlike Boss) to their own unit can't do any firmware update to eliminate the FIZZ (digital aliasing) as you and many other wishing too due and depend to/on each UNIT existing DSP and digital processing plus powerful capability to correct aliasing (OR I MAY SAY IT'S INHERENT TO DIGITAL MULTIFX)
BUT there is one IMO and AFIAK exemption is the
AXEFX even Radley the inventor of HARMONIC CONVERGER plus many more great artist/guitarist including your idol maybe or even some
TUBE SNOB selling now their beloved tube amp or mulitFX gears migrated into this unit
Browse the AxeFX forum to read and see what I mean
Better you sign up to be a member so you could ask (I'm a member). Once again this is just my own opinion and i'm not endorsing or promoting you the UNIT co'z I don't have that unit (hopefully soon or may not
Anyone or everybody has their own right and views subjectively or objectively.Hope I did clear it out wishfully
