GS-10 editor?

[pipelineaudio]

Last year, I was able to save a friends Boss GS-10 patches to a computer and transfer them to another GS-10.

Yeah, yeah, I know, I know I know. He has bought every device on the market to try and get rid of the ancient GS-10: Axe FX (every single thing they've ever made), Quad Cortex, Helix, GT-1000, GT-1000 Core, TMP, Headrush, you name it...He always ends up going back to this thing

The editors are all for older versions of windows, most of the drivers don't really work. Somehow I was able to save this stuff thru Sys-Ex and a USB to MIDI cable, but I can't remember what program I actually used. Anyone have any idea what might work?

GS-10 Manager | Mountain Utilities

GS-10 Manager is an advanced editor/librarian for the BOSS GS-10. It combines the functionality of BOSS' own GS-10 Editor and GS-10 Librarian, but goes much further; for instance, it has an integrated editor for the Behringer FCB1010 foot controller.

Might also want to try installing a virtual machine to run a copy of Windows Xp (VmWare), then download and install the old GS-10 editor and USB driver.

I think I tried that one and it would only work on some
Versions of windows 10 but I followed the link and looked on the forum and someone had a trick to even get it to work on windows 11. Which tab or what I used last time but could work this time and no need for a midi to usb cable!

VmWare with a Windows XP image will run on any version of Windows, including 11.

Also another option is to run the GS-10 editor on Linux using the W.I.N.E. to run Windows Xp apps.
Linux has built in support for Boss USB midi, so no driver required.
