Hey guys, so I'm finally back after quite a while. It's pretty amazing that there are some new info discovered about the SW-10 and its relatives. I'm planning to play with this obscure synth once again, and try to discover some new stuff as I go. Also, for those interested, I will be uploading …

So hey guys, I just worked on a website about retro/modern softsynths like the S-YXG50, the Sound Canvas VA, VSC, etc. I need some of your suggestions/ideas to make this site better. As of now, the site is still very under construction but you can take a peek at how the site looks like here: …

Nope, I might use Google Sites for this, if I'd use SoundCloud I might waste my remaining minutes lmao, so it'll be better if I'd hosted it somewhere haha edit: nvm it's here https://softsynth-portal.000webhostapp.com/

Ohh yes, it would be great, but I had a better idea, I'm going to upload all the MP3s in a site instead of making a video so that I can update it anytime and you can also contribute to it. I might be working on it in my free time.

So guys, quick update, I found this very interesting video in NicoVideo explaining the SW-10 but it's in Japanese so it's quite hard to understand some things there. The video seemed to mention about some SysEx messages it can receive, but i'm not sure about it since I'm just guessing at this point …

Wait, it works with Win 3.1? Didn't know that though. And yes, the SW-10 is fully 32 bit IMO so that probably explains why the VLSG.VXD driver wasn't working. Nice discovery you got there though, can't wait to try this out in either DOSBox or VMWare. And if possible, I could try it out in Win 3.0 …

I nabbed a copy of this and extracted out the SoftSynth so you don't have to install everything else. I was curious as to why the setup was using the old OEMSETUP.INF format... Gave it a go and... Screen Shot 2018-05-17 at 23.56.41.png Sadly the VLSG.VXD driver simply doesn't load, so I guess its …

Very nice but are the XG and GS hardware synths? Full names and in case they are software version numbers would make it anlot more useful ohh yes, i'll add them asap haha. i actually forgot about that since I was quite sleepy while doing this lol fun fact: i'm typing this in a 98SE vm rn. haha edit …

I know this is a little bit unfair but here is a comparison video that I made, using CANYON.MID as the MIDI file. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZHAJ0s1ric Hope you like it!

Not sure I follow; the SC-88 has an MT-32 emulation mode no? Is it bad or does it just not work with games at all? Or is it just absent in the VSC? I have never really used the VSC to it's full potential so I am not really sure about MT-32 emulation in it, but according to the SC-88 manual, you can …

Haven't used it, but from youtube sounds very similar to the GZ-50M and GZ-70SP. I like my GZ-50M. It's a nice simple module that generally sounds decent with all GM stuff. Good all arounder, but it lacks the character of the more popular modules. The modules do contain the additional GS drumsets …

Hey guys, so just recently, I got a copy of Casio SW-10 from here: http://erpman1.tripod.com/download.html. It is Casio's softsynth that came with some "communication karaoke" program that they called Lana Lite. And I believe this synth was only in Japan, so it's not that known in other places. This …
