Realtime editing and patch data backups, bulk patch editing. Midi editing software for use with the Roland GR-55 guitar synthesizer, to allow graphical representation of the internal settings and parameters of the GR-55. There’s also GR Floorboard – an open-source editing app for the Roland GR-55 Guitar Synth that works on Mac, Windows & Linux:

So every button is a label imposed over a push button, doubling the control count.ĭetails are available in the VGuitar forums. Oddly, I noticed that labels have OSC command strings, but they don’t actually respond to touch. This makes pages load a little slower, and could even result in more TouchOSC crashes. And I’m using a lot more memory with this increased control count. I’m using a lot more screen space, which itself is both a pro and a con. Embarrassingly, I didn’t realize that MA-28 etc were acoustic guitars I thought they were mics or pickups I’d never heard of! So it’s been good to embed some of the documentation right into the UI. This is a little more “fun” for me as a guitar geek, and moreover, it’s called out a lot of functionality that I didn’t even know was there.

(They light up when you touch them – neato! – but they don’t persist to represent current state.) I’ve taken the opportunity to replace a lot of “lawsuit-aware” labels with real descriptions, for instance LIPS becomes Dano 56-U3 and so on. Many sliders have been replaced with banks of buttons, which I have found to be much more usable.

So deep, that it can be fiddly to try and edit, using just the on-board controls.įortunately, there are a couple of free solutions that should make working with the Roland GR-55 Guitar Synth a lot easier.įirst up, there’s an iPad template for TouchOSC (shown above), created by Marc Benigni: The Roland GR-55 Guitar Synth is a deep pedal.
