I have no idea. I know GM is General MIDI but I think mine may only have Lieutenant MIDI.

Aren't the sounds in ANY synthesizer GM? As I sit here I have an M-Audio Keystation 61 MK3 connected to an MX8 MIDI thru box which is in turn outputted to 6 synth modules in a rack and that to another MX8 MIDI through box, which is in turn connected to my Nord Electro 4, the Ensoniq ESQ-1, the Ensoniq EPS 16+ and the Korg Krome. (And 2 drum machines.) All of that works well, as I have a 12 channel mixer and I can mix the synth sounds that way when playing live. It's the interfacing with VSTi that have thrown me for a loop. (See what I did there?)

BUT... I just finished installing Sonar 64 bit, and just before I replied to this thread I tested and can now use the TSS-1 in a Real Band song.

In other news, Windows 11 has not caused ONE problem as far as operation, and I have updated 5 of my 6 computers. Relearning some things, yeah. Like locating things that are not where they used to be, but I am fine with that. So with the guitars all hung by the chimney with care,



and the rack complete,



I am calling this room done. All that I need now is an idea to write something about! I should neaten up the wiring, which is an amazing feat of engineering in itself, but I can do that any time. I still need to do something about the lighting in here, but that will have to wait for a while as I pay for other stuff I have done or bought in the last few months.
