Here is official Roland Japan Document that explains the MIDI program change codes to access the new patches that were included in GR-55 Version 1.50

"Please note when you update to the GR-55 System Program Ver.1.50

When you switch the preset patches, I have a different MIDI program change number of the system and when the old program Ver.1.02

Please anyone knows any books that can teach you all about MIDI programming?
I would like to understand more about tables and codes MIDI, MIDI Implementation, the functions of each code and where they fit.
Finally I would like to know how to program MIDI equipment, but using only MIDI language.
I've read a book by Brazilian writer, but it was very basic, did not have much depth, if anyone know about some book or some book you can afford and I would greatly appreciate ..

This thread is pretty deep....
I am using a piezo on a Nylon....And a Gk-3 on an HSS Strat.

It makes things twice as fun!
  Just got my librarian all loaded and correctly configured....next up is the floorboard and more fun!

I read this yesterday and finally found the post again (thanks to the forum search).

I can't remember what i was faf'n around with 15 months ago for the File Player,
the only control with direct midi access is the Player level.

I think this may be possible, send sysex data to change the CTL pedal function..
F0 41 10 00 00 53 12 18 00 00 12 0D 49 F7 = Set CTL pedal function to 'File Player Sw'.
F0 41 10 00 00 53 12 18 00 00 11 01 56 F7 = Toggle CTL pedal "on".
F0 41 10 00 00 53 12 18 00 00 11 00 57 F7 = Toggle CTL pedal "off".
F0 41 10 00 00 53 12 18 00 00 12 0B 4B F7 = Set CTL pedal function to 'Player Song Increment'.
F0 41 10 00 00 53 12 18 00 00 12 0C 4A F7 = Set CTL pedal function to 'Player Song Decrement'.
F0 41 10 00 00 53 12 18 00 00 12 09 4D F7 = Set CTL pedal function to 'Player Start/Stop'.

You could try sending a combination of the above messages, for example, to enable the player..
F0 41 10 00 00 53 12 18 00 00 11 00 57 F7 = Toggle CTL pedal "off".
F0 41 10 00 00 53 12 18 00 00 12 0D 49 F7 = Set CTL pedal function to 'File Player Sw'.
F0 41 10 00 00 53 12 18 00 00 11 01 56 F7 = Toggle CTL pedal "on".

or to play the current song..
F0 41 10 00 00 53 12 18 00 00 11 00 57 F7 = Toggle CTL pedal "off".
F0 41 10 00 00 53 12 18 00 00 12 09 4D F7 = Set CTL pedal function to 'Player Start/Stop'.
F0 41 10 00 00 53 12 18 00 00 11 01 56 F7 = Toggle CTL pedal "on".

Same for the EXP pedal sw and the GK S1/S2 button control too.
I'm not sure if this works (or not), but it looks feasible in theory.
My GR-55 is packed somewhere in the pile of gear for a gig this weekend,
so i can't try this out myself until i find my GR-55.

I know it's a while since this post but for anyone interested, yes this method DOES work... I have a drumpad on my TB Midi stuff template that sends all these messages in succession.  I used the Exp Sw (as I never use it for anything else).  Just make sure the control you want to use isn't set to "off" and set to "patch setting" in the global controller settings page.  I globally preassigned the function of Exp Sw to "Audio player switch" to save a few lines of sysex.  Here's what I send and it plays the first track off the usb stick with one button:

(note I haven't put checksums in as TB Midi stuff does this for you!  This assumes you've already set Exp Sw to Audio player switch globally or locally in the patch you want to use this on...)


F0 41 10 00 00 53 12 18 00 00 4D 01 CS F7 = Toggle EXP SW pedal "on".
F0 41 10 00 00 53 12 18 00 00 4D 00 CS F7 = Toggle EXP SW pedal "off".
F0 41 10 00 00 53 12 18 00 00 4E 09 CS F7 = Set EXP SW pedal function to 'Player Start/Stop'.
F0 41 10 00 00 53 12 18 00 00 4D 01 CS F7 = Toggle EXP SW pedal "on".

EXCELLENT -Really glad to hear you got this working, and glad Gumtown shared the sysex strings

Care to share your TB Stuff Template for GR-55?
