I have a 64bit PC with windows 7 home premium. It was just plug in and go, no drivers needed. Windows recognized this set as a standard USB midi port. I start the W30 with system 1.10 and took keyboard channel two. For some instruments you have to change the octave settings. It is all visible in the software (studio9) what you can do. This software is loaded with many other features.


good luck,

Leon.

Sorry for the late reply. As a new user of the W30 I discovered how to use it as a master keyboard attached to a PC. I both a cheap midi to usb set something like this

The software that I use is Studio FL 9. This software contains also asio software so there is no latency anymore. The software-instruments have a very good quality, the grand piano is better than the best W30 versions that I downloaded. What I see here is that in 23 years the hardware is completely overruled by this software development. A new world is open now for sure Jim.

regards,

Leon.

Thank you for all the links Miro. The grand piano on the smfw30set is the best we can get for the W30 I think. The W30 has no reverb or other effects. That is what I miss in all the piano sounds. When I make a recording on my pc with a little reverb adding to it, the sound comes a lot more closer to what a piano sound should be. Working with layers will make some more depth, have to study on that. Look afford to the next version of smfw30. Seems like we can make a few floppy's with the patch editor with our most favorite sounds instead of constantly changing floppy's.

regards,

Leon

Hello to you all just arrived new here. Bought an old W30 a view weeks ago and busy collecting sounds. Because the large amount of sounds available it is hard to find what I want. I am searching for a good quality sound of a grand piano. Is there anybody here who can point me to a great file.

For any new users I want to say I, with the version of SMFW30 this moment available, don't use Windows 7 premium with an usb-floppydisk station, it does not work.  I tried to use the usb-floppydisk station with windows XP, no results. You have to use a computer with windows XP and an old build in floppy-disk station which is connected inside the computer directly to the motherboard.

regards,

Leon.
