Returning to the first page of this topic and because recently i added to my collection a Roland CM64 i can say that Lure of the Temptress is really great. Yes, with my MT32 (old one) there are weird sounds but with the CM64 the game becomes lot better. From the start with the fire sound and the …

Meowdori makes a good case for the higher end Yamahas on the first page. But if the MIDI tower is basically for gaming, the MU50 is an excellent addition just to experience GM outside of the Roland realm, and happens to look pretty sweet paired with the SC-55. And it's higher end than my TG100 :D I …

Omg I'm so jealous of that tower! Though admittedly MU50 is too low for me, I'd personally go for at least MU128 since i already basically have the same base covered by S-YXG50. It decidedly does look very neat though. Thank you. I had already the Roland MT32, the Roland Sound Canvas SC55 and the …

So, 1. Roland MT32 (old) does not have battery. 2. Roland Sound Canvas SC55 mark I has one, i have replaced it with new. 3. Roland Sound Canvas SC88 (not the pro), i guess it has, i will have to check it. 4. What about Roland CM64 and Yamaha MU50?

Thank you :). Until now i haven't done any recordings. The truth is that I haven't looked what equipment needs and i don't know what to do because my free time is so little. Maybe a program like audacity? I have recorded only amateur videos with my mobile. Below is a link on my youtube channel …

May you please tell me what is it with the rom versions? Are they important for gaming for solving bugs? I checked my Roland MT32 (it is the old unit) and it has the version 1.07. thank you in advance.

The Yamaha mu50 and the mu80 have differences regarding the AD input signal. What exactly is that?

The Yamaha mu500, mu1000 and mu2000 are really beautiful. Especially mu1000 and mu2000 with all these buttons.

Let's get to the point. Are there differences in quality and sound depending on capabilities of each Yamaha device? I am talking only for gaming. I do not also have a problem if the device is simple with only power button and volume knob (without lcd screen and other buttons).
