GT1000 Mate - a fast patch switcher for the Boss ™ GT-1000 guitar effects processor
If you use a GT-1000 guitar effects processor for live performances, or just use a number of different 'patches' (presets / tones), GT1000 Mate is a 'must have'.
The app reads all 250 patch names and their numbers (ie bank/patch) directly from the GT-1000 via a USB connection or Bluetooth.
Ordered lists of the patches are created automatically. By tapping on a patch name in the list, the GT-1000 is switched to the specified patch. The switching is very fast - ie sub-second.
The lists of patches can be edited to change their order to match the required performance order (ie Set List). The editing can be done either using your favourite text editor, or (recommended) by using the KatanaSets app (sold separately) for full 'drag&drop' capability.
Once edited and saved, the updated patch lists are immediately available for use with the GT-1000.
