Another thing that flew over my head to mention is with some MIDIs the SC55 isn't choosing the correct instruments or effects.

Don't plug anything into the MIDI OUT port of the SC-55. It can cause the issues that you described.

That port is not meant for gaming. You just need MIDI IN.

PC#1: Pentium MMX 166 / Soyo SY-5BT / S3 Trio64V+ / Voodoo1 / YMF719 / AWE64 Gold / SC-155
PC#2: AthlonXP 2100+ / ECS K7VTA3 / Voodoo3 / Audigy2 / Vortex2
PC#3: Athlon64 3400+ / Asus K8V-MX / 5900XT / Audigy2
PC#4: i5-3570K / MSI Z77A-G43 / GTX 970 / X-Fi

Don't buy cheapy usb-midi cables. Save yourself the headache and get a um-one. It does sysmessages properly.

UPDATE 11/12/2021

I got a new power cable for my SC55 aswell as an UM-One Mk.2.

Currently listening to the FATE theme and it is working perfectly.

So all I needed was a high quality cable and...
get this.

The cable I was using originally, supplied 1Amp of power.
That's an issue, since the SC55 only needs half an amp (500mA).
🤣

Thanks to all you like-minded old tech lovers for the support! 😁

Just so you know for the future, this is actually fine. Over on amps, it will only take what it needs (500 from 1000). Under is a problem because it tries to draw the 500 from a lesser number.

I see.

All previous MIDIs mentioned that stuttered now do not.
But I found a new one that does.

the MIDI version of RednGreen's track "Cursed Cathedral"
