Which patch was that again? What's this one even for? — Every multi-effects user knows the struggle. PatchMemo GX puts an end to "patch confusion." PatchMemo GX is a companion app for recording and managing your BOSS GX-1 patch settings. The official app shows you a list of patch names, but names alone aren't enough to remember what's what. Record your effect chains, gear setups, notes, and tags — and instantly find "that sound you made that time." ◆ Patch Management Supports all user patches from U01 to U99. Record settings for every effect block: PREAMP/CAB, OD/DS, FX1–3, DELAY, REVERB, and more. ASSIGN matrix notes included. Tags and search help you find any patch in seconds. ◆ Setlists Log the order of patches used for each gig or practice session. Look back anytime to see "what did I use at that show?" ◆ Library A unique feature that lets you save your favorite amp + cabinet combinations as Rigs. You can also record guitar, pickup, and output routing combinations. Load them as templates into patches to speed up your workflow. ◆ Anytime, Anywhere No Bluetooth or cable connection needed. View and edit your patch info on your phone — at the studio, at home, or on the go. ◆ More ・5 languages (日本語・English・Deutsch・한국어・Português) ・Dark mode UI ・Fully offline (no cloud required) ・All data stored on your device Privacy Policy: https://dev.nishimoto-learning.jp/apps/patchmemogx/privacy Terms of Use: https://dev.nishimoto-learning.jp/apps/patchmemogx/terms This app is not affiliated with or endorsed by Roland Corporation.
