[boness]

I have to buy some midi to usb cables today just down loaded this editor
I have been discuraged since I bought the thing becouse I cant figure it out.
I have read the book and all kinds of posts here Im hoping this will help, seems everyone has better luck
with the editors.

Im a noob but not dumb to processors I have a D.O.D fx7 sounds great and never let me down
in 12 years of gigs and 3 button programming

Im hoping Gt8 gets me further than that

Thanks

Greetings Boness welcome aboard.
Ensure you get a reputable brand USB/midi adapter, the cheaper chinese copy ones don't work very well.

Welcome to the board boness, if your having trouble all you have to do is ask. There are numerus people here with alot of knowledge that will gladly help you. The GT8 is one hell of a unit and once you get used to how it works it's really very easy. These work well with the 8 (at least for me)

The GT-8FxFloorBoard editor has now been updated to version 20120626 with may bugs now fixed, since i am a recent GT-8 owner, I have been able to first hand test and fix the software.
Versions for Windows, Linux, and Mac OsX have been updated

Hi folks - so I've taken the plunge and bought a M-Audio UNO midi USB cable connector. Installed the latest version of the FX Floorboard (build version 201120626). I've successfully managed to get the FX Floorboard app talking to the GT-8.
My problem is the connection keeps dropping between the two devices for no apparent reason (all 3 green lights extinguish on the UNO).
When this happens the only way I can seem to get the two units talking again is to disconnect the USB from the PC - shutdown and relaunch the Floorboard software, and then finally reconnect the USB cable, green lights comes back on the UNO and I'm back in business.
Happens every 5 - 10 mins so very frustrating.

I've tried connecting on 3 different machines with different OSs (Win 7 Starter, Win Home Premium, Win 8 Consumer Preview) - same symptoms on all three machines.

Anyone every seen this before or am I looking at forking out for another USB - midi connector?

try a google search on "m audio uno problem", these ones are a bit iffy on using the correct driver.
There was also a bad batch of them a few years ago.
