Re: Demo songs for Roland SC-88VL

Posted on 2018-04-27, 02:44

Does your soundcard support 2 midi out ports? Most only have in/out/thru. Some sound cards let you switch the thru port to an out 2 port, but you usually have to select this via driver settings. Another option is to use the serial input on the 88. One serial cable can handle 32 channels with ease. …

Re: Roland SC-88(Pro) and XG compatibility

Posted on 2018-04-03, 23:27

Roland modules (including the 8850 and SD series with official support) only do XG Lite, meaning they can't understand anything more advanced then MU80 . And yes, the instruments sound nothing like a real Yamaha. Not sure if the wording you've chosen is just awkward, or if it was intended, but that …

Re: Roland SC-88(Pro) and XG compatibility

Hello all. So I've read in different places that the SC-88Pro has unofficial Yamaha XG compatibility. I have not found any information explaining the method to enter this hidden mode? Is it a special series of SysEx commands? or some combination of keys? To what level is this mode/emulation of XG …

Re: Sound Canvas model selection

I'd keep the 8820, if you put it on the 55 map it will work like a sc-55mk2 - I have both and tested simultaneously with a real 55mk2 in games like DOOM/DN3D and I could not detect a difference. Plus it works as a usb midi interface as well. I can't comment on the 88/88pro stuff, are there any …

Not true, MUNT (the latest version) emulates the MT-32 almost perfectly, and for 99.9% of cases perfectly. derSammler: Yamaha devices that have it have it as part of a Roland GS compatibility mode (in every case I can think of). Kawai I am not sure about, but I would imagine it is a similar …

The 8850 has severe compatibility issues with SC-88 and 88 Pro native MIDI files though. For SC-55 compatibility it's alright, but as someone who has a growing collection of 88 Pro native MIDI files, the 8850 is useless. The OP's list of modules is a bit odd, if you are going to list the VL, why not …

The SC-88 Pro has "MT-32 mode", don't have an original 88 though. The 88-Pro lists it as "C/M Mode" (Computer Music), and is meant to be compatible with CM-64. You might be surprised how often you can find this option. Even much later modules like the Yamaha MU128 have a C/M Mode. Sometimes they are …

Re: Yamaha MU2000EX

Hello to you all, I did a net search about MU2000 and I really hope someone here can help me. I just purchased an MU2000 unit from eBay Japan, the seller told me that it was already upgraded to Extended (EX) version but I discovered, once the package arrived, that sadly it wasn't... the download …

Re: What CRT for RGB video?

Posted on 2018-02-21, 09:53

Personally I have a 29" arcade monitor mounted in a hand-made wood box. The advantage of this is that it is an auto tri-sync and takes both RGBS and RGBHV input. Basically anything that outputs RGB from 15khz 240p to 31khz 480p works. Everything from my MSX to my Dreamcast looks beautiful on this …

Re: Best Hardware for XG Midi?

Posted on 2018-02-18, 23:03

HI. I'm looking for a possible "Best Solutions" for palyback and recording of XG Midi file. I've purchased (but i'm still waiting for) a Yamaha MU-2000 but searching on internet I've found for example this: Yamaha S03 and reading specifications, this seem to be AWM2 Synthesys compatible with Yamaha …

Re: SC-88 SysEx in GM MIDI?

Posted on 2018-01-15, 11:08

From my experience a lot of music programmers from that time were simply ignorant of the differences between GM and GS. Remember the original SC-55s didn't even understand a GM Reset, they would only preform a GS Reset. Everyone says Duke Nukem 3D uses GM, but official GM spec is only 1 drum kit, …
