Yamaha DB50 Xg - how to work it in Win XP Pro

Guest

Hi all
Does anybody know how to utilise a Yamaha DB50 XG in win xp pro? I have a
Diamond Monster MX300 with a wavetable header which accepts the Yamaha
daughterboard.The normal audio playback of the card is fine. The MPU-401 is
not working and therefore does not play midi files. What I need to know is
'how do I get my midi files to play through the sounds on board the yamaha
daughter board??

tell me if this information solves your problem
The program allows you to tweak your YMF7x4 (YMF724, YMF740, YMF744 and
YMF754) sound card driver. Using this program you can increase quality of
WAV and MP3 files and audio CD playback. You can enable non-documented high
quality 44.1 to 48 kHz samplerate converter to increase quality of WAV and
MP3 playback and quality of audio CD. The program includes high quality 4.61
MB wavetable bank, so you can set it instead of default 2.3 MB 8-bit quality
bank and hear XG and GM/GS MIDI files with the professional sound quality.
You can also download additional Dance Bank with modern samples and compose
dance, techno, jungle and trance music using XG technology without external
wavetable samplers. Voice controls allow you setup optimal balance of
hardware voices between MIDI, audio and game applications. You can enable up
to 64 voices for MIDI files playback. You can enable and disable some hidden
and standard features of the software driver: the DS-XG control paned tabs,
DirectSound 3D functions, game port interface, Legacy support, Soundius XG
Synthesizer, SP/DIF interface, Power Control Module etc. If your
manufacturer stops development new software drivers, you can use the driver
from another manufacturer. The program helps you to setup this external
driver to your hardware. The utility can change features set of the external
hardware driver and even enable hidden features. It includes also over 1MB
of high quality XG MIDI files, licensed by the world best XG MIDI composers
to use with the program.
