Loading Roland extra Patches

30 Aug 2008, 12:54

Hi I downloaded the Roland extra patches and am having a real nightmare trying to upload these to my V Synth GT. Tried both the usb cable and the usb memory stick.
The usb cable did nothing and the stick enabled me to load up a project (.prj) but when loaded this did not appear on the Patch Play screen. So I cant seem to play these at all. Please if someone knows and has the time could you tell me what steps I need to take to make these projects playable? I have already tried to follow the steps in the manual but sadly no joy ;(
Big thanks in advance for any help here.

Where did you download these patches, and are you sure they are in the GT format? If they are in V-Synth 2.0 format, you need to convert them (there is an option in the project menu). Also, you must put the project on a USB drive, you can't have more than one project in the internal memory.

Hi Artemiy
I downloaded these patches from the Roland US web page

http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.aspx?ObjectId=847&ParentId=83#

they appear to be in V Synth GT format. Was a bit confused by being able to load them up from the usb stick but then not being able to play them (or any sounds for that matter).
Am I doing the right steps? I know it may sound a bit simple but a step by step guide would really help, I am as you might have guessed a complete newcomer to this synth. Thanks once again Artemiy it's really great to be able to get advice from someone who has valuable experience.
Regards N

Weird, these seem to be in GT format. Are you just dragging and dropping whole .prj folders? Can you send me a screen shot of how your USB drive folders look? They should look like this:

Hi again
I am dragging whole .prj folders just 1 at a time onto the usb stick. They look like the following image. Do I need to open these folders up further before transfering them?

I get it now!

Sorry for all the bother. I indeed needed to open up these folders all the way before they can be read by the GT.
Thanks very much for the help Artemiy!
