QuoteCan be used without the GP10 to see and explore the functions or it wont start at all?

Sadly No. It will not even launch unless the app sees a real GP-10  connected and running it's USB driver .

So no editing or parameter reviewing, without a USB connected Boss GP-10.

Not the most beautiful interface, but it works great!

Baffling misstep IMO.  If they had just let the initialization fail through and the software run on its own, it would have served as the best possible documentation of what the GP-10 is/ isn't capable of.  In other words, a marketing tool.

But - thanks for the reply.  I'd actually just downloaded the application, and this saves me the time of installing it.

Sadly, this also means that we won't be able to "clone" patches as we've been able to do with the GR-55 and VG-99

Been playing with Boss Tone Studio - this is right on time. Just got my copy of Welsh's Synth Cookbook in the mail! Hope I remember to go to my gig tonite :)

One question about BTS: I see that I can edit SYSTEM and GK SETTING parameters from BTS, but it doesn't appear that I can store/recall them anywhere - is that right? Only patch data is stored/recalled?

On Boss GP-10, anytime you change the SYSTEM settings and GK SETTING settings, they get auto-saved, to the internal re-writable flash memory.

I like the editor!!!! I can tune all 6 strings simultaneously using the editor software, where as only 1at a time on unit itself.

There is also a Play function that appears to be a trainer. Load a song from your hard drive and play along, change speed or pitch? I don't have any songs on my mac, all in the cloud, so I can't test yet.

It is sooo much easier to create edit OSC synth patches this way along with delays, controllers etc.

Whoohoo!

Great that this is out!

I noticed in the readme that came with it that they mention a feature of, "Recording dry guitar sound for adjusting effects settings", but I can't seem to find this.

Am I missing something obvious? I'd like to be able to easily record short phrases when editing.

But it appears the Boss Tone Studio for GP-10 lacks the recording feature of the other Boss Tone Studio Editors

Thanks, but I'm not clear what you're referencing there. Or maybe I'm just missing it again.

I can record from the GP-10 in my DAW, but the readme that came with the Tone Studio SW seemed to imply that you could record within the Tone Studio SW, which would be a much easier editing workflow than importing recorded audio.

OK, I read and everything again and did some searching.

The problem is I am not seeing the Record button on the bottom of the screen like the one between Tuner and Play in this picture for the Tone Studio for the GT:



Does anyone else see/not see the record button with the GP-10 BOSS TONE STUDIO?

I'm running on Windows 8.1, the drivers are installed and the audio is working with other programs.

Thanks for anyone who can provide some clarity.

OK, thanks, that's what I wanted to know. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

I'm guessing it might have to do with the fact that the GP-10 needs to record 6-8 channels instead of the 1-2 channels on the other units.

Hopefully it shows up in a future update.

Boss Tone Studio  saved the same FX selection (not the actual settings) to several patches simultaneously when saving to a single patch, including Ctl assignments. Haven't explored how far this went, may just be a couple of adjacent patches.

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. I only found one other thread on BTS and it looks like it is more documentation than discussion.

I'm wondering about this button (Pick All) . I can't find it documented and I'm wonder what is the intended function.


merman93

I assume it is meant to select the type of pickup sound you are looking for within the live sets in  BTS, with the alternative option being "all".

I assume this will be related to choosing specific Boss Tone Central  type/genre patches ,(different than "All")

"Pickup" in this context is akin to "pick up sticks" in other words "choose" specific type/genre patch, to be explained in a future more comprehensive Boss Tone Studio manual that Roland will release in the future.

Same Tone Studio feature exists in the versions for ME80, and GT-001/GT-100.

Smoking gun on two computers, but no proof that BTS is the culprit. On my laptop, after installing BTS, I began getting odd keyboard errors days later that reversed after Restoring prior to the installation;

On a desktop I get an error message on occasion that had never shown up before.
I do get a few bugs within TS itself with respect to it saving settings in patches that aren't selected. Not a big deal, but it does happen.

Just wondering.

Tone Studio is a fairly benign program on its own,
I would look at 'Adobe Air' which is the base system used to run Tone Studio for any O.S. anomalies.
Free "GR-55 FloorBoard" editor software from https://sourceforge.net/projects/grfloorboard/

I also feel its related to the Adobe AIR (Adobe_Integrated_Runtime)

I concur Boss Tone Central on MAC OS works well.

MusicOverGear

Same experience here on OS X Mavericks - no issues so far

drewfx1

No issues with Windows 8.1 here since installing Tone Studio the day it was released. And given the amount this laptop gets used, I'm sure I would have noticed if something was amiss.

Curious the make ./ model of your Win8.1 machine?  (Is this your ASUS T100 ?)
