Ben One Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Hi, I wanted to ask if there are recent soft synths/VST plugins that support the Roland GS and Yamaha XG standards in addition to GM and GM2. Also, I'm interested to get recommendations of soft synths with particularly high quality GM/GS/XG soundsets. Thanks so much!

Reverend Rhythm Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 ravity (http://luxonix.com/home/en/) may be worth a look. Most soft synths the don't go the GM route. I remember Sonic Reality having some GM stuff. Try them at esoundz.com. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben One Posted August 13, 2004 Author Share Posted August 13, 2004 Thanks so much Dave! I checked it out and it looks nice. I spoke to Roland and Edirol folks today and I've learned that GM2 is close enough to GS that it should work okay with those older files. Edirol's HyperCanvas software is GM2 compatible, which makes me happy! Ben Eddie Jobson Tribute Projects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Rhythm Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Oh yeah. I forgot about that one! Tried and true. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resigned Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 I have been using the Yamaha S-YXG50 soft synth for some time and I like it over the Roland/Edirol offerings. But then I like XG over GM/GS. Unfortunately Yamaha discontinued their XG softsynths and has no current XG softsynth that I know of, which is a little weird. I think it may be because Yamaha wants to back away from XG altogether. Here's a link to some info about the S-YXG50: http://www.yamaha.co.uk/xg/html/midplug/m_mid8.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
