Ahhhh so you can set an instrument per patch, really annoying that you can assign a knob to turn bass mode on/off but not select an input preset. Perhaps just an oversight, might see if it's possible to raise as a feature request.
Different input settings for left and right would make sense, with the proper configuration you could connect and use two different instruments simultanious. Really strange you can make only 1 (L+R) input-setting in the IN/OUT menu but you can set them seperately for L / R using an assigned knob.
* If I assign a knob to 'input R' and select another input-preset this is carried-over-to/visible in the 'master-effect-block'.
* If I assign a knob to 'input L' and make a change nothing changes in the 'master-effect-block' !! Weird !
(Btw. using the word 'assign' here could be confusing because you do not assign a knob to a parameter in the assign-menu, you do that in the hardware-setting-menu)
Edit: Also, in the assign-menu you CAN NOT assign a footswitch to the input-preset-selector.. Unfortunately, because that would make much sense.

Sorry yeah assign is the wrong term! Well I can definitely set up a patch per instrument which is fine and can use stompboxes to keep both patches completely in-sync aside from the input preset.
I have no idea what the Input L and Input R do without a play as there is no mention of a L/R input withing the IN/OUT settings. Might have a play though later.

The easiest way is 2 separate patches. Then just write each input instrument to its assigned patch.
PS I decided pretty early on I liked the Natural bass preamp best, been playing a little more and with some tweaking the Concert preamp is sounding awesome!
Not sure if this is a workaround solution. You could put a Distortion block first in the effects chain with Clean Boost loaded, turn everything off leaving just the Level for adjustment. Then assign the Level to Knob 1-5. Use the Clean Boost Level to control the Input?
Hi everyone. What is everyone's favorite midi stomp extender controller (or whatever it's called... I'm new here). Also, any recommendations for patch download sites? Thanks! Now I'll get to reading this whole thread.
Hey krfoss, the Morningstar MC3 midi controller is good option.
As far a patch sharing website for bass players, nothing. But there’s also additional info at VGuitar Forums - Index
Personally myself, I’m not a fan of patch sharing. I approach the GTCore as an instrument, so lots of trial and error, recording and playback, and using my ears. I’m happy to share any tips and tricks, I’m still learning the thing myself though. I’m continuing to post sound samples as I discover more stuff also.
Hope the GT 1000Core serves you well!

I have the CORE, an FS-6 and an FS-7. That’s my board. With all the options you have available for a single button push, I don’t see needing a midi controller at all.
You're right that's the bare minimum you need. But midi takes less real-estate and you can do more with midi
YMMV, it covers everything I need at the moment. I’ve done the midi thing and was not a fan. This set up suites all my situations perfectly.
I had an entire Source Audio board set up with midi, and I found I was spending more time tweaking on the computer than practicing! With the CORE, I do everything on the pedal, and with the foot switches, I have access to everything I need.
I also edit on the pedal, I want some 'muscle-memory' in case I need to get into the menu on-stage.
