HI all
If this is not in the right place perhaps the mod can move it.

Well at last I have a Yamaha XG lite VST for your PC & BIAB
Many of you Yamaha Keyboard owners must like me have wished for a XG voice set VST, having struggled with sound font players and way back XG50 and 100 soft synths, all of which suffer from dreadful latency problems and often relied on MIM|E drivers.
This DLL has been striped from another now defunct Yamaha mid Radio Player I think!
This is the Yamaha XG lite set, so only the best 361 voices of the full 480 full XG

Note: This VST has no GUIs so you'll need to operate the patch controls via virtual MIDI ports within your DAW.

No problem in BIAB as there is a built in PAT for a DGX 203-205 in the midi setting synth /sound card setting. THIS IS FOR THE XGLITE SET so that’s good enough to give you access to the upper banks by name.

Just download from my box net and unzip put the resulting folder in your VST folder and don’t forget to add it to your BIAB vst plugins
I have made mine my default synth as the bank 0 voices are fully compatible with GM
So the all midi styles sound great as well.

I will upload my DGX620 XG lite Sona ins file that I wrote some years back for those that may want it for a more recent DGX keyboards, and a BIAB PAT when I have converted it in the next few days ‘

Here is the link for the VST,

Have fun and let me know if you found this useful.
Best regards
Mike

OK, works just as you say.

But not sure it is an improvement for me as my ears have always like the CoyoteForte GM. I am guessing one may have a preference for XG if they grew up with it?

I will be interested to hear what others say.

Oh, and by the way, thanks.

Hi Dan


“I am guessing one may have a preference for XG if they grew up with it?”

Well for me its more a case of having lots of XG midi files that I have made over the years on Various Yamaha keyboards .so it is useful for me to hear the higher bank voices I so often used .
When importing into BIAB.
EG I am quite fond of Piano and strings in the XG 40 bank as a replacement for the default XG GM piano at the same patch in bank 0 and have used it in many of my midis
Thank you for taking the time to post your thoughts I appreciate it
Have fun
Mike

Hi all

Well not much interest here then I feel like the invisible man.
80 views a dozen or so downloads and one comment.

I guess there are not to many Yamaha keyboard players on here that don’t use their keyboard for playback , by far the best way, but not always possible if away from it with just the laptop and BIAB.

I wont bother with the pat file and ins file then.

I know a lot of the regular posters do not play keyboards and it is not a keyboard forum so maybe I shouldn’t be surprised.
It’s always difficult for a newbie member to hit the right spot on posting, with so many pro musicians out there, but it’s a bit cold on the outside as a home hobbyist.
I thought I might contribute something. Ah well.

Best regards
Mike

You are kidding, right? confused It has been one day and you are having a problem because only one person, in one day, made a comment?

I just found this post, so I, for one, will give this a try. Back in the day a Yamaha SW1000XG with a few daughter cards was my ultimate goal for a Midi card in my studio, and even today I look every now & then for one on eBay. Right now there are some on there STILL asking a large price, and if I was willing to set up an old XP system I would grab one.

I am not a keyboardist, but I DO like the XG sound set better than the Roland SC55 from the old days, or most of the newer Midi sound sets.....including ones that folks use live.

I appreciate the upload, and will post back after I get to try it out next week. Thanks! cool

Mike, ya don't need to bring anything to the forum except a occasional good word, good wishes or a bit of good info, as you did this time. Stick in there... grin

Mike.

I have not had time to reply since I have been having so much fun with your VST. I absolutely love it. As a long time user of the old Yamaha SW1000 sound card, I eagerly looked at your VST file with anticipation. I loaded it up in BIAB and tried out some of my old MIDI song files and was very impressed by the sounds, especially the banjo, since I am a bluegrass musician.

Your VST file is now a permanent resident on my PC!

By all means please send on your PAT and INS files.

Also please don't see the lack of response as an indication that nobody cares about your topic. Not everyone gets on the forum each day and those who do like me, might take a while to respond. In my case, you came back with a verdict before I had a change to respond.

One of the forum topics I am always looking for is for anything dealing with softsynths, especially when it pertains to anything Yamaha XG related since my association with both the SW1000 and the DBXG50 daughter card go way back to the days of Windows 95.

Hopefully you will reconsider and will send on your PAT and INS files for those who would love to check them out.

As far as you not thinking you contributed anything to the forum worthwhile, oh on the contrary Mike. You made my day when I saw your post.

And ditto on what jcspro40 also said on the topic. We both know the value of what you have shared with us.

Hi all

Well what a difference a day makes (cue song).
Thanks very much for your appreciations I am so pleased that some folks found this useful.
The DGX620 instrument def can be found and downloaded from my web site, (see bottom of post) item 5 in my technical articles section, via a boxnet link.
It is a simple mater to convert this to a Pat in BIAB.
This is the file for the full DGX620 Keyboard for those who may have it or similar and as such contains all the Panel voices in banks LSB 113 etc.
Obviously you won’t get these from the VST as it is just the XGlite set
However if you play a Yamaha midi that uses these high banks it will fall through to the equivalent voice in XG bank 0.
All XGlite set will play with the correct sounds.

Thanks again for your replies.
Have fun
Mike

Hey Mike,

thank you for the VST contribution; it's been a very nice gesture, and I, for one, have appreciated bunches! wink

I look forward to the *.pat and *.ins files. Keep up the good work!

Yours very truly,

Thanks Mike
I have yet to try it (just downloaded it) but it appears about the same size as Chaos SF and I look forward to checking out the sounds.
I'm buried in other work currently, so it may be a bit before I try it, but I appreciate your effort a lot.
Thanks again.

I've got around 900 XG files (donated to me) that I have never used successfully because I've always been a GM/GM2 guy and only have Roland keyboard and GM synths.
I'll be trying it out in near future as time permits.
Thanks for your contribution to the music nerd world.

Hi Mike,

I downloaded your vst and the ins files.

They work very well, so well, I have replaced my default synth with your files.

Thanks so much.

Got it loaded up, but as of today have only had a few min to play with it....Thank You for this! I can now explore some of the Midi styles that are newer than 2011 because, to put it bluntly, I could not stand the sound of them for my use.

Now I just might be able to use some of them in my Rhythm sections.....Thanks Again!

Thanks Mike,

Really appreciate it, downloaded and using it at the moment as default synth. At first I though it would be difficult to get my head around on how to get this to work, but a breeze so far.

Thanks again.

Hi All

I am really pleased that some of you have found this of interest.
It may not be the best voice set in the world, as it is only about 12mg for 300 odd voices but at least they conform to the Yamaha voices bank changes for XG lite.
So useful to Yamaha keyboard owners, when away from their KB,
And to use XG midi files in BIAB.
Thanks for giving it a go and your comments are much appreciated by me.

Have Fun
Mike

Just installed your XG sounds yesterday. It's great to hear those XG sounds once again. Many years ago I had a little external Yamaha synth, something like an XG10 perhaps. Anyway loved those sounds then and it is great to be able to use them again. Don't know how they/you manage to pack them into such a small package. Thanks.

Hi all

I see from the number of downloads of this file some are finding it useful.
Not often a day goes by without someone having a go.

So by way of a reminder here is the link to the dedicated PAT file and Sona inst def.
No where near as many down loads for this so I am guessing you may have missed it as it is in a separate thread.
Link below to pg thread.

This sounds great! I love the Yamaha Voices and used to have a Tyros, so I am familiar with most of the voices. Thanks again,

BTW, I have missed some of the voices that are in this Vst. Yamaha has some amazing Bass/E Piano sounds in this, so thanks again for sharing it with us. It sounds incredible and is MUCH better then the Coyote sounds, much better!
