Here's a new test version for you to try: http://falcosoft.hu/midiplayer_58_test.zip The last column of the playlist now also displays the Midi mode of the file such as GM/GS/SC88/XG/MT32/NX. Notice that there are 2 kinds of 'GM' mode corresponding the grey vs black GM sign. The grey/lower case GM …

Hi, The performance is still the same even on single core processors with any midis that use only the channels available on a single synth (any MT-32 midis). Disabling the dual synth mode would result in difference only in case of non-MT-32 midis that use other channels. In this 2nd case in single …

There is a bug reported in OPL3VSTI. Patch 103 (Echo Drops) in the Fat Man bank is incorrect compared to the original Fat Man bank from Windows. Here is an example file for OPL3VSTi to help correct this: http://buzzwood.com/midi/pg103.mid Oh and remember to add a feature to MuntVSTi to disable dual- …

I've listened to some recording of this Synth for some classic Doom songs and I must say I am quite fond of it, it compares fairly well with my Diamond MX300's Aureal soundbank and S-YXG50. I only recently discovered the VSC-88H software synth through Vogons so I can't really compare to that, but I …

Also, if anyone here has an LD-80 but never tested the MIDI input yet, you should try it now; just connect the MIDI in to the LD-80 from your computer's MIDI interface (MIDI output also works) and play a specific General MIDI file and see if yours sounds like my LD-80 I have!

As in "No program change occurs" or "Nothing sounds at that location"? It still receives program change, but no bank select, still just GM tones. Let's say that I was more afraid it wouldn't be possible (because Casio... :dead: ). There are several other GM boxes by other manufacturers that have …

Speaking of MIDI (I have no preference for files, maybe Descent?), are the only things that are MIDI-controllable on the LD-80 the sounds and other General MIDI stuff, or can you also control the additional features over MIDI? I didn't see an extensive MIDI specification in the manual apart from …

Could you please take sharp pictures? I can't read half of what's on the various chips, especially those around and including the large chip that has "IC-306" on it. The coin cell merely powers the backup memory when the LD-80 is powered off. It holds no memory in itself. The last board is a …

Be sure to open it up and post pictures of the internals. Okay, let's have a look inside and how the chips operate this thing. First, the main unit itself.

MIDI ≠ General MIDI - I was reacting to the review text, not whether or not you can use a drum machine as a GM box when it was not designed to be used as a GM box - and if it can't be used as a GM box despite reacting to all 16 MIDI channels, that's not a design error, that's just because it's not …

I made the CT-460/CSM-1 and Miracle Piano versions of the music as well. Neat! So many synths! Is there some "mechanical" way to translate the MIDI data into versions for those synths?

You'd think a "professional musician" would have heard of the existence of MIDI utility boxes that can filter out undesired channels...(some patchbays can also do this). :neutral: Well I'm not talking about MIDI channel disabling via MIDI filter which I already know about. I'm talking about how you …
