Hi Folks
Does anyone know of a software version of the Roland PG-800 that runs or
can be compiled to run on Linux? I may be using the wrong search terms,
but Google isn't coming up with the goods.
I'm pretty sure that I had something like this on my old Atari.
Cheers

Hi Matthew,
I owned an MKS-70 and the PG-800 in the late 80s/early 90s. Wonderful
hardware, the MKS-70 was one of the best-sounding analog synths I've
ever heard.
There was a DOS program called PC-800 that you might be able to find in
one of the ancient DOS software repos. It worked, but not particularly
well, so it might work under DOSemu.
If you can find a similar utility for the Atari you might be able to run
it under Hatari or XSteem.
See the Emulators page at http://linux-sound.org for links.
Best,
dp

I understand your confusion - the PG-800 connects to the synth via a
special cable.
The way that a software patch editor works is by transferring the patch
configuration using MIDI System Exclusive messages - the same way that
you would save a path from the synth to a MIDI storage device and back
again.
The one that Bengan suggests is a Windows programme - I don't know what
running it under something like Wine would do to realtime performance as
I only use VMware which would absolutely kill it.

I think there is a DOS-version at the bottom of the page.

Although I can't say anything about it there is this wineasio thing. I haven't
used it myself and I'm not sure if windows programs must be written for ASIO
to work with them.
