General / Notes on potential features
Last post by Administrator - Sep 06, 2025, 09:17 AM* Add a button on the launcher to load the user patch names and display them in the launcher.
Need to test how long this will take because we'll need to do 200 MIDI requests. The data returned is only 16 bytes per patch so maybe it will be okay. Possible gotcha is that the launcher will not automatically update if the patch name is changed on the GX100.
* Search for patches that use a particular effect.
For example, find all patches that use a Fender Bassman. This could be useful to see what settings are used.
Maybe show a list of the patches found and allow sending program changes so you can hear how those patches sound.
The effect chain for every user patch would need to be loaded and decoded to determine which effects are used. Need to test to find out how long this will take to search all 200 user patches.
* Load patches that have been saved in Tone Studio .alb and .tsl file formats.
This will take quite a bit of work though I did a quick test and it is possible...

I'm excited to introduce DMS GX100 Explorer — a Windows application I've developed to make exploring patches on the Boss GX-100 guitar effects processor easier and more intuitive.
Using MIDI communication, the program lets you:
- Browse and explore patches directly from your GX-100
- View patch details quickly without endless menu-diving
- Experiment with sounds in a more streamlined way
- Save time when searching for the perfect tone
- View multiple patches simultaneously to compare parameters
This forum is here for:
- Support – Ask questions, report issues, and get help
- Tips & Tricks – Share your workflow ideas and discoveries
- Feature Requests – Suggest improvements or new capabilities
- Community – Connect with other GX-100 users and tone enthusiasts
📥 Download & Learn More: DMS GX100 Explorer

Let's make exploring the GX-100 as creative and fun as playing it.
