there are .dls files floating around in the net, that contain some edited sounds, or comlete soundsets altogether.
I have downloaded some of them , one was 24 MB I think, and they surely sound better, but they seem to me as not that "polished" as the MS waveset which, of course, is based on the Sound Canvas. Not sure who made it, Roland or MS but there is a little txt file somwhere in the win directories saying "Copyright Roland blah blah."
Do a search in goohle on free DLS files and you surely will stubmle to a couple.
Then you have to save the original MS dls file (GM.DLS, located in Windows\system32\Drivers) with another name (turning off the "system file overwrite protection" if you have XP), and name your file as GM.dls and put it in place in the same dir. After that, you should be able to chose "MS sw synthsizer" as your MIDI synth and the new wavetable will sound.
In my opinion, Software synth by Yamaha was far better in sonic quality than the VSC, (it also includes effects) but it is now lost in oblivion, Rikki is right, they don't offer them any more. On the other hand, search the net, or Kazaa, for yamaha soft synth, someone may have it. Theodore

Originally posted by Vquestor: Does anyone know what format this yamaha xg wavetable is in? or are you talking about the full softsynth(latency issues)that includes the wavetable? Hey Vquestor, Sorry, I'm not 100% sure what you are asking. Do you mean, does it load on a Windows computer, a Mac, etc.? If so, I've got the Windows version. I don't remember seeing a Mac version but they'd have to port it to Mac, you would think. Problem is, it appears they've pulled the plug so I'm not sure how we'll find out. If you were looking for something different as far as formats go, get back to us. -mike
