Hey there's a copy of the xg synth which does work under xp, I don't know where you could find it as it is discontinued, but you can research and see if it is still atainable... HTH, D!J!X! -----Original Message----- From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jayson Smith Sent: Monday, October 22, 2007 4:00 PM To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] Softsynths for MIDI playback in Windows Hi all, I'm looking for a good softsynth for Windows. This isn't my main production machine, which is already running XP. I recently upgraded another machine, and am now running XP Pro. I was running 98SE, and was using the Yamaha SYXG50 softsynth for general Windows MIDI playback. I've heard Yamaha has since discontinued this synth, and I doubt my copy, purchased several years ago, would work under XP. What have people been using as a softsynth to just play back MIDI under Windows, E.G. not in Sonar? I know Windows comes with a GS Wavetable synth, but I've never really fallen in love with it. I wish I could keep using SYXG, but if it ain't available, it ain't available. Thanks for any help.
