This vid has me more excited about the GR-55 than any previous video. So many bass-related synth tones. Awesome!

MCK

Glad to be of service. Was an agonizing 10 mins...

jassy

Yeah, thanks for that, Im sure that was so tedious.

Seeing the names it makes me think that every tone pcm wave consists of several layers and it seems to include some effects (some names indicate chorus or tremolo).


MCK

Thanks. Lets keep the dialogue on the list building on the other thread so others doing the same see what you're working on and avoid duplication.

A2theT

Whats the diff between the video and the list of tones in the manual I provided here.  Can we not just merge all the worksheets and then sort by tone # in Excel?

Manual has list of Patches. This video shows the list of Tones available on the GR-55. Tones make up Patches. Hope this helps.

Elantric, I know the list was the result of a tremendous effort in the other thread.  However, there is one ommission in the giant list above and the parts compiled in the other thread.  That is Tone 188 - Pedalsteel 1.  I only noticed it as I tried to create an XLS of the tone list (attached) for use by me and others.

Gastric

Awesome job on the tone lists. I'd like to make an additional request that I cannot easily fufill myself due to lack of document manipulation skills.

Can someone produce a tone list that's formatted into a table and that will fit on a single double-sided page print out? Not unlike the Roland supplied patch list, but so we can have an at-a-glance type of tone list.

Note that the tones names are extremely descriptive. But it's better than nothing.

Someday it would be great to have another collective effort to produce a short 1 sentence verbal description of each tone. Better yet would be to use an attribute matrix (steal the one already used in NI soft synths) we can use to apply to the tones to help further categorize and describe them. Since the matrix is a hard coded list of descriptions it should make it a lot easier and useful as opposed to hand written descriptions.

I've started a hand written scratch sheet of my favorite tones for potential use as core sounds for bass synth electronica and am trying to whittle it down further and was going to start hand writing notes about the tones when I found this gem of a thread with an text and XLS list already done. Nice work! The power of the internet! WOOOOOT!

Hmm.  2 pages is a challenge.  How about 5?  PDF and word document versions attached

*****Can folks do a QA check on this and advise me by PM if there are any mistakes or edits needed.

Good work everyone

Now we should sell this to Roland Corp. ;)

or

Tell them we will trade it for the 20+page GR-55  Complete MIDI Implementation Doc !

Great job folks. Thanks for making it complete with the Excel & Word files etc. I see the main list updated too so all is good now. Roland hear us coming...

stueym

Updated word and PDF files incorporating the Tone Categories. 

I created two documents of each type.  One sorted as before in tone number and the other sorted alphabetically by Tone Category. 

I will probably do a global grouping of all keyboard and all guitar, all stings etc for my own purposes just to make finding things easier.  If anyone wants that please let me know, but it will be a personal grouping , not based on any GR-55 navigation.

Hope this fits the bill.

res075oh@gte.net

I'm viewing these with Open Office [which usually works great with .Doc files] and both of them do not display properly.  The list by number has many blank pages in the middle and then near the end a page with one column followed by one with 4 [I think].  Pages 6 through 22 are completely blank.

Likewise the one sorted by tone has a somewhat similar single column on page 8, but no blank pages.  Am I the only one seeing this?

Thanks,
James

Using 2007 MS Word they look fine to me.

Open Office may be gagging on the multiple columns page layout.

Try an MSExcel .xls format version

That seems to work fine; one column of course.  I don't know how it will print out.

Two questions:  1] What is the source of the video?

2]  Is there a way I can access these tones and see how they sound?  Preferably step down the list and try each of them one at a time.

Thanks,
James

James, the following is actually on the first post under the video. You can find great summary views there :

I made the video using a small camera on a tripod and slowly went through the tones.

Yes. You see the Tones listed inside a Patch. Go to any patch, hit Edit you will see PCM 1 & 2 listed in there. If you go into either one of those you will see the tones and you can listen to them. Hope this helps.

The PCM SYNTH TONE LIST is now available from the Roland documents site in PDF here
http://media.rolandus.com/manuals/GR-55_PCM_Tone_List.pdf


Just happened across it as i was looking for instructions on the GK KIT GK-3 internal kit i might get as i am looking for a cheap Epiphone LP to chop into for fun.

Here is a list of guitar mode tone categories for the Roland GR-55.  I hope they are of some use to someone.  Owner:  If this is the wrong location please move.

I'm also trying to attach it as an Open Office text file; don't know how that will work...

Well, it appears .odt [Open Office text files] are not allowed.  I guess you guys aren't as cheap as I am! [ggg]

Thanks,

I have the tone lists printed out on paper copy, i refer to it all the time, very handy.
I don't know why Roland didn't include this with the manual.

I have that too; the latest one [I think] that has the corrections for the missed tones.  I just thought that having a tone category list would also be handy to have so you don't have to look so many places to find a tone.
