There are many free sound packs on RC. Most are free. Some are paid if made by a specific sound designer. Editing sounds on RC via Zenology Pro is paid. There doesn't seem to be a way to create your own new sounds directly on the GM-800. You can also create new sounds via a Roland Fantom keyboard.
Maybe, but Roland's pitch to MIDI was never that great. So who know how well it'll work.
Anything that is ZenCore based should work. Looking now the GM-800 page is mostly paid stuff for now. All those same sound packs are there for Roland's other synths. Except Fantom users get them for free.
Yeah, this would have been nice. I could see pairing the GM-800 with a GP-10 so as to cover guitar tones via the hex cable. But unless they make a TRS-to-pin converter (more $$$), that's not feasible.
You'd need to buy or build a 13 pin break out box and split the 13 pin cable before the GKC-AD converter. I'd want to use the GM-800 with the SY-1000 this way.
There are ways to move the sounds over using Zenology lite or Pro. It's cumbersome though because it involves copying them onto a thumbdrive. I do this with my AE-30 wind synth.
Sorry, what's a GKC-AD converter? There's no 13-pin input on the GM-800, so I'm not seeing any obvious way to get TRS serial hex to the GM800 and 13-pin hex to whatever else.
Oh cool! That's exactly what I was speculating they might do in my previous post. I won't even ask what it cost because I'm sure someone's already said, and I missed that, too...BOSS - GKC-AD | GK Converter

The GKC-DA?
I think it's the same price as the GK5?
Yeah for the scenario you're thinking of you want the GKC-DA. $200.
That's $500 worth of "Cool they finally serialized GK, but now I'll need to de-serialize my GK." Where did I put my hat?
