Ok, It's clear that the 8850 goes out with XV2020 and JV1010 for the moment. Thanks for your help!.

Thanks Keropi, I have the doubt between SC-D70 and SC-8850, I don't know why but I feel better sound on SC-D70 than the 8850 but the lack of a method to change the sound banks with a simple button...

How did you get on with your newly purchased RA-50 and did you confirm if the additional sound effects were present in the machine? I’m also considering getting one as they are considering cheaper than 2nd hand MT-32’s Thank you Hi, finally I have bought a MT-32, for a bit more money so, I can't …

As mentioned, you'll need a MIDI splitter (or MIDI patchbay) to have all those modules connected at once. It's not recommended to cascade more than three modules off each other. Hello!. I have chained five modules at a time with no problems at all. This MIDI thru is what you refer? https://www. …

Obviously, your specific module (which you did not mention) needs to have a serial MIDI input, you can't just plug it into a regular MIDI-IN (many of the older Rolands do have serial input, AKA RS-232, not the MT-32, though). It should then indeed work, but I have not tried that myself, though I …

Softmpu lets you use a serial link under DOS while emulating an MPU-401. As for Windows, Roland has a Windows 9x serial MIDI driver http://static.roland.com/support_archive/en/SC-8820_1812542_readme_en.html . EDIT: IMHO, there is no point in going USB for this(which only works in Windows) if serial …

There's no difference in sound to a 2nd generation MT-32, as it uses the exact same chips. The ROM is the same as in the CM-32L (it's even labeled this way), but I'm not sure about the additional sound effects that the CM-32L offers. Some say they are not accessible on the RA-50, others say they …

Thanks guys. I can live without the text on the screen, really it doesn't matter. And the use of SoftMPU is a must for me because I'll use this module on a "modern" PC and if I can on a Thin Client based on native DOS so, hardMPU for me is not useful. So, I go to buy the RA-50 today and hope that on …

Hello. Since the MT-32 is really expensive to buy today, I have seen the possibility to buy a RA-50, RA-90 or RA-95 for 100€ or below. Are these modules == real MT-32?, because I have a SC-55 and don't want another device "compatible" with MT-32 but with the same result as SC-55. Regards.
