Hi, Even on newer CRT monitors there must be an OSD where you can see the parameters of the current display mode. Contrary to modern LCD monitors it's usually never the actual resolution but the current horizontal and vertical scan rates (in kHz and Hz respectively). This should help to determine/ …

Hello, Is it possible to minimize multiple instances of Midi Player to tray from the command line? /tray will only work for the first instance in a batch file. Following ones will complain there Midi Player is already minimized to tray. Thanks! Hi, It was programmed this way because of an explicit …

AFAIK it's only mobile CPUs that have powernow/cool&quiet and these can't be used in the multi-socket systems this thread is about,... No, The desktop/server Athlon 64 processors also used Cool&Quiet. More precisely Cool&Quiet is the name of the power saving technology used in the desktop and …

No, by the time there were multi-core CPUs that could change speed they all had an invariant TSC (TSCIV) so the TSC speed does not change as the CPU speed changes. Further the systems with these have/use the ACPI or HPET timers for the QPC clock. This is not true. AMD K8 had no invariant TSC but …

Hello, A quick question if I may: How do I minimize MidiPlayer to the tray from the command line? I need to run it from a batch file and I'd like to send it minimized to the tray. Is that possible without using a 3rd party program? Thank you. Yes, you can do this by giving Midiplayer the '/tray' …

@Falcosoft: I understand, but there is just nothing more inside neither VSC soundbank , nor Hardware SC55 ROMs - it fact in the list "SC55_Inst_map.pdf" you provided from the manual, there is for example "Piano 3w",but there is just no such thing to be found in SC55 firmware ROM v1.21. ... So, …

Falconsoft, I re-check MS GM.DLS - there is no contradiction they count the sounds that form the drumkits as individual instruments (in MS speak). So, it's still correct statement that both GM.DLS and VSC SC55 soundbank have 226 instruments (MS speak) or 226 tones (Roland speak)... No, 226 is not …

SC55 Sound bank of VSC 2.x has "226 Tones + 9 Drumsets". That coincides exactly with what Microsoft GM.DLS file has - i am attaching picture to show that. .... I am able to find only 217 tones (216 on my picture as I count from 0) - see the attached picture. That's another unexpected thing - maybe …

I might have tried to reload the VST a bit too fast then (around 2 sec wait), will wait for a bit longer next time. Also definitely need to try with a different VST or try S-YXG50 in another host (like SaviHost) to rule out the possibility of FSMP being at fault. PS. Attaching the original file i …

I really wonder why pressing the VST Stop button (as in this picture https://i.imgur.com/3dTjBby.png) and then restarting the VST does nothing though. Does it only halt the plugin, remembering its memory state instead of truly restarting? You should wait for at least 5 seconds before pressing the …

Small feature request i guess, but it would be nice if it was possible to deregister FSMP as the keyboard media keys' handler in the OS, so that i could control an external player sending MIDI to it instead. I have a feeling that this might already be implemented but i can't find it for the life of …

...maybe Roland included their own "MUNT" in the VSC soft-synth, who knows?! Not likely since neither the real Sound Canvas series nor the virtual versions (SC-VA inlcuded) support real LA synthesis that defines MT-32 and CM-32/64 like synths (and thus MUNT). SC devices are only romplers that …
