Introduction

So, what's Sound Station? Why is it usefull for a GX-700 user?

Sound Station is a windows application, a complete MIDI patch editor for the BOSS guitar effects processor GX-700. It may be used as a bank manager, to edit patches, and to save them into several different formats. SoundStation runs on any Win32 based platform. (windows 95, 98, NT)

SoundStation is also a patch librarian. Using only the device (the GX-700) to store your custom patches you're limited to 100 "user patches". With SoundStation you have a storage system in your computer with which you can save as many patches as you want.

To create new patches or to edit existing ones is easier, faster, and much more intuitive than ever with this application, as it is mainly a pro-spec patch editor for the GX700. Click here for some screenshots!

Sound Station system requirements:

Obviously, a Boss GX-700 effects processor.
80486 or better computer.
Win32 based OS. (windows 95, windows 98 or windows NT)
MIDI interface or soundcard with MIDI interface built-in. (all soundcards out there!)
A "Sound card to MIDI" cable.

The "sound card to MIDI" cable can be found at musical intrument stores, specially those ones with a lot of synthesizers shown on the shop window.

If you don't specifically tell to the vendor you want a Sound Card to MIDI cable you'll probably end buying a standard "MIDI to MIDI" cable with which you will not be able to connect your GX-700 to your sound card MIDI interface.

Sound Station main features:

Capable of receiving/sending any patch data from/to the GX-700.
Supports all the formats used to store GX700 patch data, including raw SysEx files.
All the editing is done in real-time!
Intuitive interface design, conceibed to be easy.
Customizable "Device ID" makes possible to control upto 32 GX700's simultaneously.
The "Favs" feature allows you to have fast access to your favourite patches while editing.
Independant presets for each effect on the GX700.
ASCII Text patch format for non-binary based distribution of patches. See an example.
Context sensitive help with all the info you need to know for the program use.
Direct support from the developer if you're registered.

Very well, but I even don't know what the GX-700 is! ^_^

The Boss GX-700 is an effects processor, a single-space rack unit mainly designed to be used with guitar.

It's a powerfull tool, not only on use with guitar, it includes simulated classic amplifier sounds and a speaker simulator, making this device ideal for digital recording.
