Boss GT-10B

Is anyone able to help with a patch creation? I'm trying to replicate the sequence sound that is at the start of 30 Seconds to Mar's "Closer to the Edge" song. I've been trying to tweak the circus psycho patch up keep getting a really loud bubble popping like sound. Can anyone give any help with this?
 
I was messing with the Dynamic fx chain a bit yesterday. What I'm trying to achieve is adding more feel to my overdrive settings. So far I like how it lets me go from a clean tone to very mild break up with a bit harder plucking to an even harder break up with digging in. I notice it really adds a spongy tube type of sag to the tone while still being punchy. I always thought it was just a on/off type of switching but that's not the case. The switching and bleed through of each side of the chain depends on the sensitivity and release settings and how hard you pick the strings. Then from there it's just a matter of setting the levels of the chain channels. I find it easier to get a great overdrive tone because I'm basically blending the clean tone with the overdrive in a continuously variable state that depends on how much I dig in. I believe I have both channel levels at 100 then the sensitivity at @ 57 and the release at 18 or 20. Dial your OD settings to taste then raising and lowering the effect level in the OD page really makes a huge difference in the overall tone and feel. Check it out if you get a chance.

Hello everyone. I could use some help with the midi functions of the GT10B- to send commands to Ableton Live.
I would like to launch a scene in ableton when i change to a specific patch. The ableton recognizes all patch changes as "pitchbend", and it doesn't execute the command. Is there a way to accomplish this action?
Also, i would like the "ctrl1" and "ctrl2" to have a different CC# in each patch. for example, i want ctrl1 in patch 01-01 to launce "scene1" in ableton live, and after i change to patch 01-02, i want ctrl1 to launch "scene2" in ableton live.
i did not succeed, what i did manage to do is to change the general CC# of ctrl1 in the GT10B.
Please help me out, i would appreciate your help very much.

Thank you Very much,
Aviv.
 
The GT-10B sends 3 bytes of patch change data, since it has to work with 400 patches, it has to select patch banks too.
It sends bank change + control change + patch change, ableton might be getting confused with this.
Try setting the midi patch table from "fixed" to "programmable".

The CTL pedals CC# can only be set globally.

Well, about the ctl pedals, ok- no matter. I did set the midi patch table to programmable. In the midi map editor of ableton it recogniEs all the program changes as "pitchbend". Maybe if i could make the gt10b program change command interact with a midi clip, it will solve my problem. Do you know how to do this?
Thanks.
 
I don't have any windows 10 drivers, just saying the editor program software is now windows 10 compatible.

Boss just needs to release updated windows 10 drivers.

Although many have had success modifying the windows 8 driver to work on windows 10.

Here is a repost quoted from another site, the example uses the GT-001 driver, but the same can be done with the GT-10B windows 8 driver file.

You can modify a windows 7/8.1 driver to make it think it works on windows 10,
copied from another source related to the GT-001, but the principle is the same,
you will need to use the appropriate text from the GT-10 driver file as it will be different,
but the important part is to change the windows 8 stuff to windows 10.
download and unzip the file contents, modify, then run the driver installer.

as quoted below

I did this with my GT 001, and it works like a charm
