GXnarly Manual

A quick guide to connecting GXnarly to your BOSS GX-10 / GX-100.

What it is

GXnarly is a landscape-native iPad, iOS, and macOS editor for the BOSS GX-10 and GX-100. It connects over USB-MIDI and lets you view and edit your patches — without BOSS Tone Studio.

Connecting to your iPad over USB

  1. On the GX-10 / GX-100, set the USB mode to class-compliant (generic) USB MIDI.
  2. Connect the device to your iPad with a USB cable (use the USB-C cable or camera adapter your iPad needs).
  3. Open GXnarly — the device is detected automatically and appears as a USB-MIDI connection.

No device handy? GXnarly includes a built-in emulation / virtual device, so you can explore the app without any hardware connected.

The main screen

On launch, GXnarly shows your current patch: the effect chain, the selected effect's knobs, and your patch library. Tap an effect to edit it; changes are sent to the device live.
