Zoom G3 V. 2 patches file extensions

Post by necaruso » Sun Sep 09, 2012 3:05 pm

Hi,

I'm trying to import patches thru Edit&Share to my computer. The file extension for the patches I downloaded is g3p but apparently the program doesn't recognise it cause it needs a g3a. Any help about this?

Thanks in advance

You can import .g3p files as well as .g3xp files, but there is a difference to .g3xa or .g3a files. (the x means that these are files for firmware version 2)

The g3(x)a files containing THE WHOLE database of the zoom g3. So can only import this by overwriting (!) you device in Edit &Share via File-->Import

If you want to import .g3(x)p files WHICH ARE CONTAINING ONLY ONE SOUND (!) you need to select one slot in Edit&share - for example A0 - and then right click on the slot and choose import.

Thats all....

Hi,

I can import .g3xp patches directly into the Zoom G3 via Edit and Share. However, when I attempt to import the same patch into a group created on my computer I get and import error message. The Edit and Share software is version 5.0.0.0.

Anyone got any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong ?

If I select a slot in Edit and Share and right click on it, I only have the options for copy, export and rename. Import is not in the list.
I have the latest version of Edit and Share, and the latest firmware for my G3X also.
