Re: Apparently not all GS-only sc-55s are the same, some are GM

1. Sound Blaster HW Synth has built-in capital tone fallback support. This means that in case of non-existent variation tones in the soundfont file it plays the same numbered program from bank 0 (the GM bank). Synthgm.sbk (as its name suggests) is a pure GM soundfont without any variation tones. So …

This is pretty helpful. If this drum kit CTF behaviour holds true for all CM-500s or for even less widely documented Roland GS devices like the SCC-1 card, then those games in the first list I posted with the invalid drum kit PC messages were likely to be have been composed or programmed with those …

Hello, new guy here :) Does anyone know what soundset/rom is in the Roland FG-1000, it has a soundcanavas soundset i think. https://midisoft.de/Studio/Roland-FG1000.htm I didn't know it existed until you posted, but according to its manual, page 29 says it's compatible with "Roland's new GS format …

Thanks! I was not aware of that. I will give it a read-through . I have finally finished updating my .qmr files for sub-tone fallback, and have added the RA-50 All Notes Off feature you requested: https://www.midimusicadventures.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=17790&start=20#p18702 The new "Expand …

Any interest in recording the sounds of a CM-32LN before I mod it? What kind of mod do you mean? There's a fix for the Vibrato issue being too fast for the CM-500 and CM-32LN that reprograms the control rom and replaces an oscillator. So it changes the sound to what's expected from the CM-32L. I am …

Thanks! I was not aware of that. I will give it a read-through . You're quite welcome! I hope it helps! Can that be true? Yamaha patented the Peanut-butter Jelly sandwich so no one can use that... :dead: Unfortunately, yes. It's referenced in one or two old USENET posts, as well as in Stanley …

(EDIT: Me not know how sub-CTF work. Me better now. Nevermind) I've noticed vogons posts about sub-captial-tone-fallback too, lately. Oddly, my first guesses while programming solutions for fallback did choose the sub variations, but then I rethought it (due to the "Capital Tone Fallback" wording) …

"not to be confused with simply selecting the SC-55 map" I should read more closely shouldn't I? :dead: But how is the SC-55 mode otherwise set on the SC-88 Pro?

Re Yamaha's, are the samples all the same for all the MUs, in terms of GS? I'm not sure, as all I bought is one the one I wouldn't have to upgrade from, but I guess I could do my MU2000 EX too. The official GS support was added with the EX versions of the MU1000 and MU2000, but the TG300 appears to …

Very excited to see a PMA-5! I missed a chance to buy 2 last year, very frustrating. Checking the manual, I see it has 80 SC-88 tones in it as well. Very interesting.

Come to think of it, my GR-30, VG-99, and GP-10 could also be added, if they have an SC-55 map, but I don't recall that now. As your google doc points out, recording all from the same capture device is preferred, …
