Hello,

I have a few Soundcanvas devices, SC55 Mk1 and 2, SC88, and the SC-D70. I was planning on making some recordings from these via my Tascam US 2x2 to listen to more generally on portable players when travelling but also for some comparison videos.

I'm running Windows 10 day to day and have tried MIDI playback to these devices via the Roland UM-One through both Cakewalk and Audacity. I also have access to Ableton lite but not tried that yet. I noticed some minor differences between the two and wondered if there is a general consensus as to the most accurate midi playback software? I imagine the best would be running under DOS but perhaps not. I had read that Audacity had issues but the post was a few years old and the playback actually seemed closer to a YouTube video of the same track.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks

I'd not seen that before, the fact they are posting on vogons is a great sign.

It is. And it works on a Windows 98/95 all the way up to Windows 10. I use it with my USB Midi cable on Windows 10 together with an external MIDI device. On Windows 98 and with old soundcards I can easily can choose between FM (like OPL3) and the MIDI device on a Wavetable header.
