Zoom MS-60B Firmware Update 2.0 (June 2017)

Alas no:rollno:

Page 10, and onwards, explains how to save a patch memory and how to rename a patch and also where to save a patch but no mention of this duplicating a patch multiple times or cutting pasting a patch:bookworm:

Can you describe how you have done it, please?
You can't "cut & paste" from the pedal per say, but you can duplicate a patch to any number of memory slots.

That'd be IDEAL for me as I often have 3 to 5 variations of essentially the same patch or even exactly the same patch but just missing one affect right next to each other in foot switch order, so to speak:D

So are you saying that page 10 of the manual explains this
(to people of my limited intelligence!!)? :drool:

I did but so far I can't get this unit to upgrade it's firmware from 1.0, I hope to find the solution in these threads.

I think this post might have some trouble shooting steps. If your MS60B isn't turning on when you connect it to your computer/laptop, it's probably the cord you are using. Some USB cords only work for charging, but they do not carry or transmit data. I would try other USB cables you have laying around if this is the case.

Welcome be sure to download the free Tonelib Zoom editor. Makes using the MS60 a breeze.

Download – ToneLib

Somehow I was unaware of this editor. Just got it. It’s much easier than all the knob twiddling I used to do. Got tired of the twiddling and stopped tweaking or creating new patches. Yesterday, opened up this editor for first time. Mostly intuitive. Generally, this is a very useful editor. I’ll continue to learn it and put new sounds back into my gig rig.

Wasn’t sure what command actually saved my new patch to the pedal. Though when I moved off that location and came back, the new patch was stored. I’m thinking maybe this editor and the MS60 pedal, which I’ve liked though hadn’t used much lately, will enable more gig useful sounds than the new promising though untweakable SY-1 synth.

Indeed ToneLibZoom makes exploring the sounds in the MS60B a lot easier and the synth sounds combined with the other effects are very powerful. I am using Zoom's Edit&Share with my B3 to do the same on my pedalboard via Midi USB and it makes a huge difference but it is not nearly as nice as ToneLibZoom but still very functional.
 
Whats tone lib?

Tonelib Zoom is an easy-to-use application which allows you to see, change and save all the settings in your Zoom(r) guitar pedal through your computer. You can also create complete back-ups of all the tones in your device and go back to them whenever you like. You can even share your patches with others or use a cool patch someone else created.

Whats tone lib?
The ToneLib Zoom is an application which allows you to see, change and save all the settings in your ZOOM pedal through your Android device. Intuitive drag-and-drop interface will allow you to build your Effect Chain and design the sound you need in the easiest way. As soon as you've reached the sound to your liking, you can save it both on your
personal ZOOM pedal and your Android device, or even share it with other.

I use my Zoom MS60b pedals in a setup connected to a computer so I can make real time edits on the computer to control parameters on the Zoom. Makes it a lot faster and easier to change effects, explore settings and be creative.
