i've finally tracked down some of the infamous yamaha softsynth hacks.
i now have vstis for
s-yxg20 (the basic gm only version of sy50) (didn't have it before, kinda pointless)
s-yxg2006LE (the xglite synth extracted from the midiradio player, already known, better than the above)
ymf-754 HiEnd (sy50xg hacked to use the ymf-754's samples, with a 9 megabyte sample table. plays back xg midis fine)
"Vampire" (seems to the the same as the above, and even calls itself ymf-754 HiEnd still, what's the difference? it's EXACTLY the same sample table, just with a different name)
"Tyrus" (has a gigabyte sample table, presumably ripped from a tyros keyboard? doesn't seem to be as nice on mu-50 composed midis as the others, but does seem to understand the effects. think of sc-55 vs sc-88 pro. the patches are in the right banks for xg playback)
still waiting for an actual mu-50 sample table rip to try and plug into one of these or the s-y50xg portable with external tables version.
