MIDI Forum

Yes, the Xylosynth is basically a Midi controller. Looking at the info on the mfg web page, I see that the XS does NOT come with any sounds of it's...

Tim, Yes, this does get rather complicated, i.e. getting MSB/LSB the right way around, making (any ?) sense of the midi charts, etc. I too am st...
