loading presets off sites like noiseytoyz ect ect? it states that most
sound cards have midi connection( i own like 5 different cards) and
none of them have midi on them? do i need a special card/adapter?? or
am i just missing something in the nozytoyz notes? i know u probably
get bombarded w/ questions,but do u happen to have a # where i could
reach u to help explain the procedure? i'm currently using a 2101Le
3.00 artist software version! i currently don't have any patches saved
on it yet as i sold my 2101 artist to get this one and could care less
about the stock presets so i would love to load it up with some real
world usable presets for a better starting point for my own later on!
if u don't wanna give out your # i'll give u mine(814)673-0515 i'm not
the most technologically deficiant person in the world,but obviously
not the best either lol! just to fill u in as i'm not some begginer
guitarist(played for
>  about 25yrs)and recently came from one of the worlds biggest
national Kiss tribute acts! (i only mentioned all this as i know u
probably get swamped w/questions from young kids just starting
out!??)i think these units sound killer thru a marshall 9200 and 4x12
cab! i have a carvin ts100 on its way(hope it can do it some
justice?)the 9200 was just too much weight and the Mesa 20/20 was too
much$$ and the Mesa 50/50 made the 2101 sound bad for some
reason?)lond story short i wanna figure out what i gotta do to load in
a bunch of new presets??(didn't totally understand the info on dieters
site and nozytoyz? plus i was concerned that there could b problems if
u used the wrong program to load this stuff ect ect?? thanks Jim M

I was in the same boat that you were in , I just updated my 2101 from
Version 1.01.01 to 3.00.00.a - I can't believe that I didn't do this
sooner! What a difference! As far as loading patches off of the
internet, No problem, you do need to have a midi connection, and I
actually am using a pc running windows 98ME which is perfect because
it has a 15 pin gameport in the soundcard that has MIDI compatibility
in the driver so all I had to do was get a simple gameport to midi
cable I got from ebay for $5.00 and plugged it into my PC and GSP2101,
I got the MIDIWizard software to interface between my pc and 2101
Worked right away, no problems!! I haven't used any of the other
software available to interface with the GSP2101, but my gut feeling
is that they are not as easy to use as MIDIWizard. (If you want to
have a MIDI interface into a USB port you have to buy an adapter that
interface the MIDI protocol and it costs more money)

The MIDIWizard makes it real simple to load patches onto your 2101
(.syx files) - I went out to noizytoyz and pulled down the Eruption
syx file and loaded up onto my 2101 and when I played I couldn't
believe it!! (HOLY S*#$! - it sounds just like the album!!) 

Anyways thats my experience, I don't think you will have any problems
if you take a little time and play around with the stuff - good luck!!
