Roland E-14 too compatible with some midi device? Sadly, the E-14 does not have a MIDI in port and can't be used as an external sound source. It only has a MIDI out port. The E-14 is from the fourth generation of the E-series, released in 1996. It uses the SC-55 mkII's TC6116AF and has most of the …

I decompiled the VLSG.VXD driver and identified what I could. With that I created a Linux ALSA driver (and some other tools). The sources are on GitHub . Excellent work! Loving the simplicity of your tools. Really convenient to use and from my brief initial testing it sounds just like it's supposed …

Exciting! Does this board expose the same MIDI controllable effects as a Dream 5000's stock firmware? It appears to provide GS compliance far beyond just the sound bank.

Saw, waiting on your video comperation of them. I thought that MT-90u is better then MT-90s. But your table shows other things. Uploaded the MT 90s vs MT-90U comparison: https://youtu.be/l6JpRC3YbM8 The SC-55mkII is used as a reference, as this was the target for Roland's own GS branded SMF …

As I know, MT-90u is development of MT-90s. Could you share your experience with them? I got MT-90s just for fun in low price. Also I found on the YT demon video with them and it sounds not bad. I think the 90s and 90u have different generations of the sound source. While they're nowhere as bad as …

[...] SD-20, which is frankly pretty awful (unless mine was bad or something). You're absolutely right. As can be heard in this comparison video , the SD-20 could be mistaken for an early Casio module with the reverb set to 129. I'd love to hear how the SD-20 came to be and passed through Roland's …

not that my Hitachi H8/532 assembler is any good... easiest to dissemble is the CM-32P control rom, because it uses Intel P8098, which essentially is Intel MCS-96 (80196) compatible Microcontroller. Another Roland GS device from the SC-55 era that might be worth looking into is the JW-50. It's …
