I added a small dip switch to the front of my case so i can adjust multi and FSB on the fly. As Tiido said, Multi's require a reboot to take effect but doesn't lock the system or anything like that. I can switch between 60 & 66mhz on the fly using one of the switches and to 50mhz using the Turbo …

I've been after a small keyboard for a while now. Spotted this Cherry ML 4100 on eBay for £16 which I think was a really good price.

I tested this fix out on a Miditech Pianobox which uses Dream SAM2635 although I'm not sure what patch set is use (Most likely a Cleanwave set). I noticed real bad distortion on the Endgame Track for Descent (especially in the middle of the track). The Fix brings the volume down a tonne and stops …

Can confirm it can be added. I just added the header and it worked. See here: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=838407#p838407 Interestingly, I've never seen a Solo-1 card with both SB-Link and Wavetable header. Terratec installed one or the other, not both it seems. Due to not having any …

I always liked the Buran Bank on the X2. I recorded Doom on it a good while ago, and have just listented to the Buran Bank against the V3 and i must say i prefer the Buran Bank (well for this particualr track). It sounds more lively and alive if i can phrase it like that. I should record some more …

The MPME is another Dream-powered product, but without the GS bank. FWR, the GS-enabled Dream-powered products get more praise and good reviews than the same hardware using GM banks of various sizes. Do you know what Dream chip is in that unit? I have a MidiPlus Pianobox which has a Dream SAM2635 …

This is pretty cool. I came up with a cruder method to the problem. I mounted a small 3 DIP switch to the case. 1 Dip controls 60/66mhz and the other 2 combine to adjust the multi. 50mhz is also available by pressing the Turbo Button on the case. As you mention, FSB is on the fly by Multi requires …

I picked this up on a whim as it was reasonablly priced (£45) and looked interesting. Its a Miditech Pianobox USB. I've not tried it yet but it powers on. I opened it up and it has a Dream SAM2635 Synth and a 64Mb Flash Chip. I wonder if this possibly has the Cleanwave 8MB Soundbank on it? https:// …

Covers most of the standard stuff with the SC55 and MU50 I'd say but to nice have the other modules to give it some flavour. Stack consists of Roland MT32 Roland SC55 Roland SC-7 Yamaha MU50 Yamaha MU10 Yamaha …
