To be honest, after trying out so many sounds it comes with and all these 130 zenology sound packs, I'm not sure I'd miss programming anything haha. I mean with all of these sounds, I can find something I'm usually looking for or layer up to 4 different sounds and you'll get something you like.

I'm having fun just with these sound packs in just one part. I've gotten like 110 done out of the 130 sound packs available, so should be done with building those and having them all on my thumb drive by tomorrow or so!

My biggest curiosity is switching and scenes methodologies.

I'm finding there is a lot of sounds using a single or pair of the sounds so you can toggle parts on and off and get multiple 'presets' in a single scene. whether you toggle with the on board switches or a third party stomp device is your own path.
I auditioned 4 of the sound packs following Brockstars instructions and harvested about 15 that are now in my user folder. Not too difficult to do. I don't know that I haver the discipline he does to go through all of it but I'll probably go back for more soon.

If the Benedetto Editor can manipulate all the deep parameters that the Zencore Synth engine has under the hood I could see exploring that to get new sounds more beneficial for me because I'll learn what happens when you start tweaking all those synths things I currently don't understand.

Like why is it Resonance seems to be really powerful but sometimes not....Cutoff frequency is my uneducated guess but the more great sounds I hear the more I feel a need to understand this new world. Just messing around it finally dawned on me how people make music just twisting knobs. They are playing by ear instead of using keyboard 'patterns' BUT you need to know which knob does what to pitch etc.
 
Geez, finally got done transferring all 130 sound packs from zenology pro to my desktop and onto my USB memory stick for the gm-800... That is a lot of work lol. Next thing I'll work on is PRST A through L, but those will take a long time as each one of those have several hundreds or even thousand and some presets in each pack.
 
Ok got the gk-5 on guitar, and gkc-da converter up and running and now got the gm-800 into send / return of my sy-1000, and the sy-1000 main outs into my line 6 helix fx loop... I must say tracking is much better on gk-5 than the gk-2a I had. I mean I had very little issues with gk-2a with gm-800, but I can't seem to make a blurp or glitch on the gm-800 now with the new gk-5. Here's also something cool which I have to experiment with more, but I believe the gk-5 pickup is working better for the OSC synth in the sy-1000. I feel like it makes it track better!

Do you have a GK3? If so; how does the 5 compare?
