Last night I compared the GR55's PCM sound with my old Yamaha MU100R. It was surprising, but I noticed that even slow played chromatic run on the low E and A string can cut notes. My Yamaha G50 aren't similar problem and the same with the GR55's internal PCM sound. It looks like some problem with the level of the Note on/off value in the GR MIDI stream.

So.. I would like to show some staring point for future investigation which be useful for any one how use external synth with a new Roland:

How the Velocity Tab parameter, Nuances, Sensitivity of the divided PUP are affecting GR55's MIDI.

My first observation are:
1. The GR55 didn't send info about the PB range. I must set in manually in the MU100R (+24).
2. By raising Low Velocity Cut I slightly improve the response of MU but it isn't as accurate as the G50 converter (but it was only first take late at night ) and deal is not only in tracking speed.

So pleas share your observations, suggestions etc.
