some PCI card slots anyway? If you don't, I'll tell you once more: the

Yamaha DB50XG piggyback. I know it's not easy find those nowadays, but

there's always that auction sites for you to try. Moreover the hosting

sound-cards which exposes a Creatine Labs Waveblaster daughter-board

expansion port, are no easier too. Ah, the good old nineties...

Note these binaries probably work on Fedora too:

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qxgedit/qxgedit-0.1.0-2.rncbc.suse112.x8...


The latter "worksforme" in Fedora 12:

>  sudo rpm -ivh qxgedit-0.1.0-2.rncbc.suse112.x86_64.rpm

This synth is a daughterboard card for

http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/1996_articles/may96/yamahadb50xg.html and
still available
http://cgi.ebay.com/Yamaha-DB50XG-DB60XG-Sound-Daughter-Board-SW1000XG-/2...
 .

This program looks nice enough that I almost want to find one of these cards
and daughterboard for sale cheap on ebay. I wish I had patch editors on
linux that look as nice as qxgedit.

PS: Anybody know whether this can control other Yamaha GM chips -- like the
one in my Suzuki Q-Chord or Yamaha DD-55??
I did a quick test and although the lights on the midi box flashed, the
sound didn't change any. That's why I tested this out in the first place.
