Re: non-midi Pads for melody side
Great post, there's a lot of ideas I'm going to look into as this is something into looking to do more of.
Can you upload patches into the gr-55?
Because midi is there, it might sense to find a midi file with the patch you like and upload into the gr. You would think roland would allow this but I don't know.
I got out of the gr's because of this very reason and use a motif es rack which I love. So you might consider getting a rack with the sounds you like.
The only "effects" I use are from my pod xt live which allows you to upload patches (though I've never tried). There's a nice reverb - long delay patch called "FX/So Long" that I like.
I have a sample of it here along with "DarkVox" from the motif:
