The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

In troubleshooting this problem I overlooked one obvious startpoint, just basic parameters.

Anyone out there with...

 a Win '95 machine using a SB16 or SB PCI 128, using the game port with a cable splitting out to MIDI cables, connected to the AN1x and using An1x to up and download patches willing to go into the "Multimedia", "Gaming options"  and "System->devices" sections of the control panel and write out everything that is set up there?

I know it is asking a lot. I was going to avoid more controversy and ask that it email to me personally, but really think it ought to be sent here (If I need clarification I'll take it offline, okay?) ...I mean it is some work and typing and there may well be other folks that would like to keep a copy of a known working setup for MIDI with SB....

In any case, it might help to see the setups...I was thinking like in MIDI setup under "Multimedia" and in whatever is under soundcard settings, and for the gaming options joystick setup.

Thanks,

Jim

James, sorry to hear about all your woes. I do not have your set up 
but I used to. I had Win 95 with a SB16 using the gameport to send 
midi to a Yamaha PSR620. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didnt. My 
solution was a money one. I upgraded to Win 98 and bought a midi card 
for my PC. All the challenges went away. Win 98 is much better for 
multimedia and a separate midi card solves many challenges. I suggest 
you upgrade to Win98 (clean install) and buy a winman midiman 2x2 
midi interface card. If you email me your address, I will burn you a 
copy of WIN98 SE, much to the joy of Micro$oft. You should be able to 
pick up a midiman interface on ebay for about £30. Keep searching on 
ebay, one will come up.

As for people moaning about not editing posts, don`t let it bother 
you. There will always be people who moan. The world is full of 
people with nothing better to do than moan. The old adage that you 
cannot please all of the people all of the time is always true.

Sorry I cannot help with your existing hardware, but I know upgrading 
will definately help.

Be well

Alan (who doesn`t edit posts)
