and so on and so on. However, I kind of doubt many people here will be interested (based on my previous experience), even that the potential is almost unlimited, because the S-YXG50 SoftSynth Engine is very close and high-quality copy of their AWM2 engine in their hardware devices. S-YXG50 VST …

Picked up this for my Aiwa PC, allows use of Sega saturn controllers (including light gun) and comes with a copy of Virtua Cop 2 that supports PowerVR? Never heard about that version supporting PowerSGL. Could you provide more information? The card comes with a PowerVR chip, but it is used as a PCI …

Can you tell me if the installation .INI file for SOL has a languages section, and whether changing the default value there allows SOL to be installed in another language? Ah, so the VSTi is like the PLG board editors: standalone mode and plugin mode. I am not sure we're talking for the same things. …

But, the official Roland US recommendation for the SC-155 was the PSB-1U whose european version was replaced by the PSB-230EU, AFAICT . Hmm, it seems like the PSB-230EU has 9V and 2000 mA. On the other hand, the PSA-230S appears to have 9V and 500 mA. Looking at the back of my SC-155, it states …

Ah, so the VSTi is like the PLG board editors: standalone mode and plugin mode. Idecs Hyper Groove was a range of MIDI file floppies and CD-ROMs with MIDI phrase samples (basically pre-made sequences you could use in your sequencer). Based on the quality of the demos the whole product line seemed …

It's likely that the display board is attached to the top of the unit and then links to the main board with a flat cable. In those cases you can usually flip open the module of synthesizer like a book after slightly lifting the top half (some synths even have hinges build into the case for this …

BTW, I want to make a note that the information here: https://og.kervella.org/y/readme.html and more specifically: ....S-YXG50. It is based on the trial version from the Yamaha SOL2 package. The full version of this VSTi had never been released, because Yamaha had decided to discontinue support of …

Open it up and see if there is this type of trim pot that could adjust the brightness. trim.jpg I thought that could be it and I asked the seller if it didn't have an internal slider/knob/pot and he said no, it was through the panel. He also said he would ask a friend who has a similar device how …

The boxed versions of Yamaha products tend to have more features included on the CD-ROMs, such as demos of other software, MIDI files, etc.

That's some interesting reading. I recognized myself in the words of the guy who "watches the peak meters like a hawk". :D BTW, the Owner's Manual for the SC-155 is still available on Roland's website. And archive.org hosts a copy of the Service Notes . I checked both in the hope that they would …

That looks like someone adjusted the contrast wrongly on the display. Check the manual (available from Kawai USA) to see whether it can be adjusted (it will either be a knob on the module or a setting in the menus). It can also mean a failed display, although normally when they fade over time you …

Yamaha FX? If you mean the Yamaha FX-500, 550, 770, and 900 modules, they're effect units, and not all of them have stereo in.

That's nothing. Try again with a couple 19" rack synths with up to 10 individual outputs in a 20U rack... 😜 I think I have about 300 Euros sunk into audio cables only per rack...
Re: MIDI-file players for modern macOS?

You could try Quicktime Player, which is included with your Mac. It should be able to play General MIDI files, normally using its internal synth, but I think you can also change the settings to use a MIDI out port instead. Edit: apparently it depends on the version of Quicktime whether it can play …

Hiya. Ok, I have a Roland SC-55 and a Roland UM-One MkII USB-MIDI interface. From time to time, I would just like to connect the SC55 to my MacBook (running Big Sur) and play some MIDI files. Are there any good players for just basic playback of MIDI files? So far I have only found MIDITrail, but …

XGWorksST probably supports PLG, but it is basically SOL-Light (ST = SOL Technology), so may as well just use SOL. I just checked with my boxed copy of ST, but no, even with ST (and likely SOL/ SOL2) you still need to install the various PLG-board editors. They are, however, included on the ST CD- …

I was going to try to access it through XGWorks, but my version is too old and doesn't even show the DR as an option. No versions of XGWorks will show the DR as an option straight out of the box (or any PLG board really). You need to install a separate editor for each board. Those editors usually …
