I have a question about this. I can't seem to save the banjo tone on the GR-33 to a user patch like? I can with the other samples that are NOT in the tone library (user and preset groups).

How do you do it? I can't seem to find this exact question in the forums and the user manual is very vague on this.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Very nice vid, BTW.....

The GR-55 patches are NOT compatible with the GR-33.

Some GR-33 patches can be found here:

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Actually, I'm not trying to download any patches - the banjo patch is already in the GR-33's tone library (#95). I'm just trying to save it from there to a user patch (A12, to be exact).

The Roland tech couldn't help me with it, but he agreed with me that it CAN be done, it's just a matter of trying to figure out the exact three or four step procedure to do so...the manual does not answer this.

Are you familiar with this?

Its my understanding the GR-33 "Tone Library" consists of PCM Waves in ROM, which are used as a basis to build your GR-33 User Preset. Since these are in ROM (Read Only Memory), Tones are never moved nor rewritten elsewhere. When creating User Patches, you must assign /point to the desired TONE (or Tones since GR-33 Presets can employ multiple Tones)  to use as the basis for  your preset.

The GR-55 works the same manner btw.

To understand GR-33 User Patch Creation, start reading GR-33 OM, Page 35 - "What is a Tone"?
