    Hello. May be someone dicovered this method already but i have search for this action many times and never find an answer.



    I hope this work for any one that has two different zoom units like me. For me worked well between G1four and G3xn. Try this at your own risk. I won´t be responsible if something goes wrong with your unit.



    These are the steps i have done:



    1- Connect the two units to the computer and wait to detect them

    2- Open the ToneLib program

    3- Choose a patch from any unit (from G1four) and click three points or right click on mouse

    4- Select "Export the patch to a data file"

    5- Open a windows explorer and go to the folder where you saved the data.

    6- Select the file and do a second click to change the file extension (Ej. DRIVE.zg1f into DRIVE.zg3xn)

    7- Go back to the ToneLib and select the destination unit (G3xn)

    8- Select an empty patch and click three points or right click on mouse

    9- Select "Import the patch from a data file"



    Thats it.

    This worked for me. You may pay attention to a patches with pedal effect on them (when G3 to G1). But the ToneLib program will ignore the effect, and the Rhithm and Loop slots too. You need to have same effects on both units, if not, ToneLib will simply skip them.
