 Posted: Fri Feb 22, 2008 10:43 pm Post subject: Help with using XG Softsyth |
 |
|
| I enjoy listening to XG midis, but how come I can't get an XG midi's full capabilities when I play them on my XG softsynth? I'm tired of requesting for XG mp3 recordings. Can anyone help? |

You mean the S-YXG50?
Well, it's not the best XG synth, I guess.
But actually it should sound acceptable, especially for a Softsynth...
Have you set the player's output to the right XG synth?
It's the wrench on the left in the XG Player. |

| Yes, I did. I can only get the full XG sounds when I play my midis through Windows Media Player |

Do you have the proper version of the S-YXG50 for your OS?
v3 for Win 95/98
v4 for Win 2k/XP
Vista is not supported.  |

If this problem isn't solved yet, I found another solution.
Yamaha offers a new MidRadio Player as a Windows (even Vista is supported) and a Mac version.
An 11MB(!) XG-Wavetable is included (the S-YXG50 has only 2MB).
There's a rub in it though. The player is in Japanese. But if you find the right button to install (it isn't that hard  ), you just have to start the player and drag'n'drop a MIDI file on it.
This way you get a fantastic XG synth for free.
BTW, the included sound set is named as "S-YXG2006LE". |

| You should probably make sure that the MIDI has an XG reset at the beginning, but after the other reset messages. The S-YXG50 might be set to GM by default since it has XG/GM/GS compatibility. |
