Forget it, I found the issue. It was my stupidity. For some ports I have a custom MIDI pack installed (which I never used, so I didn't know what it sounds like) and it's replacing several MIDI tracks of the original game. It has nothing to do with any port or driver setting. Side note: Is "All Notes …

Well, I'm trying this directly ingame now, namely Woof! or GZDoom (latest versions each). I'm not changing anything about the plugin settings in the driver, everything is at default. All I'm doing is launch the port and launch the first map of each episode. First three episodes are OK, but D_E1M8 …

We might have a problem. With your latest version, MIDI music suddenly sounds wrong. To be more precise: Wrong instruments are played. I tried with the 2006LE first and thought it's the plugin, so I switched back to the XG50. But it was the same thing. It didn't happen all the time, but for sure …

Is there a way to configure the SYXG2006LE through the driver? I know it doesn't have a GUI like the XG50, but stuff like Polyphony should still be accessible somehow, right?

If it's like that, I guess I am also ok with it. Main thing is it's not a continuous background service. I doubt anyone would be using MIDI excessively enough these days to justify that.

Personally, I use the driver only for gaming. Actually, for me this on-demand loading was/is quite convenient. If you ask me, having it loaded all the time should NOT be the default.

Yeah, I was erroneously assuming this was the VST Driver thread. My apologies. Anyway, I guess one could at least test the 2006LE with the new release. Whether it sounds better than the XG50 is a different matter, but since pretty much none of the classic games (Doom, Duke3D, Descent etc) go beyond …

I see the new driver version somewhat improves support for the S-YXG2006LE VSTi. Does it have any advantages over the XG50 regarding sound quality? (The soundbank is 3x as large, at least.) Its XG capabilities are reduced AFAIK, which is however rather irrelevant for gaming purposes. How to set it …

This is truly epic. Now one can switch between the two best MIDI synths for gaming pretty much on the fly without messing around with the setup panel. Not too long ago I was already happy the driver was functional again at all. Now it can pull off stunts I've never even dared to dream of. Tons of …

Problem: It may sound better in selected cases, but how does it do with tracks composed with the SC-55/88 in mind? Such as Doom, Descent, Duke3D... Thing is, one cannot say one synth is superior to another judging from just a few selective tracks.

Once I am able to tell an actual difference/quality improvement between the S-YXG50 and this emulator, I'm going to be sold on the general concept. However, as Falco has pointed out above, the VSTi plugin sounds anything but "crappy" to me, I must say. In fact it's amazing how much sound quality …

Alright, I managed to get it working by using this generic IS3 installer file. It wasn't even required to have Fury3 installed when creating a directory with a fake fury3.exe and pointing the installer to it. Thanks a lot for the assistance!

Just a side note: SLADE3 (yes, the Doom editor) is able to edit, extract and save POD files. However, currently it only works for original (pre-Boosted Edition) PODs. Apparently they are using a new format now which SLADE cannot recognize - yet. Once it does, it should be pretty easy to compare and …

For me it ran through just fine. However, I also installed the certificate beforehand.
