I found an interestung patch in the folder GR55-FLOORBOARD\SAVEDPATCHES called FREEBIRD
When I press the CTRL Pedal PCM1 (092Grand Pipes) and PCM (095 Church Organ3) change to PCM1(343 Strings1) and PCM2 (339 Cello) and the volume is increased from35 to 65 ...(you can change all the other parameters of course, too)
You can assign this effect in the MASTER ASSIGN Menu (amazing)
FENDER STRATOCASTER (1974); BRIAN MAY RED SPECIAL; VG 99; GR 55; Yamaha DX 7

Gumtown's  FreeBird GR-55 patch is here:

(Realize Gumtown is a Bass player, but this could be modified to suit Guitar)

QuoteThis moment in time gives me the opportunity to learn FreeBird by Lynard Skynard, so here is the very first song based patch i have made on the GR-55.
Initial tone is PCM 1 & 2 with the keyboard intro, and the EXP Pedal Switch kicks in the modeled J-Bass tone.
The EXP pedal does the PCM tone volume, and the CTL pedal toggles the PCM tones to Orchestral and Ensemble Strings for the later verse.

I hope it's useful, it was quickly done with headphones on.

So could this be usd to change the cosm patch too? Say I want to go from acoustic to heavy within the same patch?

Yes that is correct.... you are not really changing patches just the sound within a single patch. You can even change the routing path for all your sound sources. The only thing I have wished is the amp model and the Mod effect I'm sure it was a over-site on Roland s part.
