First, thanks gumtown for the editor. I just bought a SY-1000 and I'm starting to load patches that are posted here to try them out. Three things...

I notices that the "quick load" lists patches from different machines (SY-300, VG, etc). Yet I don't see any from the GP-10. Can I simply uplaod a GP-10 patch like any other (and I understand that it will only be a match in the SY-1000 to a degree) or I need to do something else too? Second, when I open one of the tab, like the tuner, how do I get back to the main view or page? I clicked everywhere and can't figure it out (though it must be obvious). Lastly, when I click on the "SY-1000 Floorboard Help" in the top menu, it actually takes me to the "GR-55 FloorBoard Editor Help." What am I missing? 
Old Ovation Classical, Larrivée OM-03, Alvarez baritone stringed in Half-Nashville, Washburn J6 archtop with internal RMC pickup, Godin SD with GK-3, Line 6 Helix floor, SY-1000, VG-99, and a little home-studio, running a RME Babyface Pro FS, a pair of KRKs, a Macbook M1 Pro and Logic.

To flip through edit pages, just select any item in the signal chain view and that page will open.

I don't think GP-10 patch conversion has been fully implemented yet.

Have not done a Help file for the SY-1000 yet (my least favorite task) and the GR-55 one might be just a space filler.

Future updates are on the table when the time comes around (working through updates for many other titles currently).

Cheers :-)

Plus I've found that in my own programming experiments I took the same patch (or as close as I could make it) from the GP-10 to the SY-1000 and even though it sounds similar - it was not exactly the same.  In some ways I think it was better on the SY-1000 technically but on the GP-10 there was a "character" to the sound that was not directly ported to the SY that I kind of miss.

Thanks for the great editor @gumtown

I've got the latest firmware on the SY-1000 but i'm running Catalina on a Mac.

Is there a version of the editor available that won't crash in Catalina or is the issue that Catalina is too old for the latest firmare?

I was hoping to use it on Catalina as it's the last OS that supports my Midas interface.

Also how can i assign Midi CC numbers and Midi Channels as targets in the assign menu?

Good day!

I was just wondering if there's patch/tone list for SY-1000 just as GR-55 has? Where can I download if any?

Thank you & Happy New Year!

The GR-55 "Tone List" are the names of  the fundamental PCM samples employed for the GR-55 PCM Synth.
Details on all GR-55 910 PCM Tones are here
https://www.vguitarforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=3060.0
PCM Synths are often called a "Rompler", as opposed to a Sampler, since these PCM Audio samples are created by Roland and  stored in permanent memory inside the GR-55.

The SY-1000 is not a PCM Synth, so no Tone List.

There is a SY-1000 Factory Preset  Patch list here
https://www.boss.info/global/support/by_product/sy-1000/owners_manuals/2aaef246-f00e-4701-98a5-9691728dd51d/

Explains why SY-1000 is not ideal for exact rendering of Orchestral sounds, Grand Pianos, Saxophones- which are the strengths of the GR-55 PCM Synth Engine. GR-55 also performs lower latency COSM Modelling to combine with the PCM Tones, for wide sonic possibilities in an all in one unit which remain unmatched in 2023.

In 2024, Roland/Boss would migrate you to the GM-800 if you require latest Orchestral sounds, Grand Pianos, Saxophones.  Its all a matter of taste. Myself, I still prefer the old GR-33 PCM Synth  for Orchestral sounds, Grand Pianos, Saxophones that suit my needs. I know many who prefer something else.
