I've been using the GT as a midi controller for the Tonex which is set up into the GT's Fx loop. All working perfectly, the up and down commands in my GT would call the respective patch in the Tonex.
A couple of days ago my Boss EV 30 expression pedal started to act weird, either not working at all or randomly sweeping even if not being used. After trying different TRS cables and ins and outs in the GT the problem remained so in order to check if it was a pedal or GT problem, I decided to reset the GT to factory settings to bypass any software bugs.
As it happens, it was in fact the exp which is at fault, after trying it with the Tonex directly (which is what I should have done in the first place).
The problem now is that after re-installing my previous patches (which I had backed up), the midi commands are not working any more. I changed nothing in the Tonex or the GT, the midi programming is still there in each patch but does not reach the Tonex.
I've once more reset and reinstalled the patches in the GT but the problem persists.
Anyone had similar problems?

mini and a 7 pin jack to fit the GT so unfortunately cannot test if it is at fault.
I reset the GT hence why I think it is the problem. Don’t know how I could test the Tonex without other midi controller.

MIDI traces are outputs from computer programs that can see the MIDI being sent by a unit (like the GTk) and show you what the messages actually are. There are several free programs out there that you can run on a computer. I use MIDI Monitor on my Mac.
The connection to the computer is generally a MIDI-to-USB cable or (if the unit supports it) MIDI-over-USB which uses the standard USB cable.
I've never tried using the USB connection to the GTk for anything other than the GT1000 Editor. I know it can be an audio interface. Can it also send MIDI-over-USB, I wonder? EDIT: P47 of the GTk Parameters manual sugest it can send MIDI over USB, so a MIDI trace looks possible.
Dumb insulting question time - since your GTk system reset, have you checked that the MIDI channel you're using on the GTk is the MIDI channel that the Tonex listens to? Did you ever change it from the default? Have you checked the MIDI settings in general since the reset?
I'll have a further think. Good luck!

Don't know what to think of this.
