Tobias Erichsen in 2010 released a Windows implementation of Apple's RTP-MIDI driver. [7] This driver works under XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10, 32 and 64 bit versions. [8] The driver uses a configuration panel very similar to the Apple's one, and is fully compliant with Apple's implementation.
In addition to OPL3, DOS applications running under Windows 9x/Me can also use the XG tone generator. All of these features are available using Yamaha's VxD driver under Windows 9x/Me. WDM drivers for these operating systems and later Windows 2000/XP may lack important mixer controls, like separate Line-Out and 3D Wide.
The drivers for Windows 9x incorporate their own custom instrument patches which make use of this extended mode. Conversely, Legacy mode provides full backward-compatibility with Yamaha's YMF262. [ 9 ]
The XG-compatible Yamaha S-YXG50 SoftSynthesizer, which is discontinued, is an entirely software-based MIDI synth. It used a 2 MB or 4 MB wavetable sound set, and was common among non-professional users who needed a cheap, high-quality MIDI synthesizer for purposes such as playing video games that rely on MIDI for their music.
The company was founded in 1984 by Karl Steinberg and Manfred Rürup in Hamburg. [5] As early proponents and fans of the MIDI protocol, the two developed Pro 16, a MIDI sequencing application for the Commodore 64 and soon afterwards, Pro 24 for the Atari ST platform. [6]
It featured a similar USB audio/MIDI interface as the MoX series. The MX is playable in 16-part multi-timbral performance mode, configurable with the third-party Vycro editor. It is also the only keyboard in the Motif family available in a 49-key model [ 11 ] (alongside the 61-key MX61).

The increasing use of USB connectors in the 2000s has led to the availability of MIDI-to-USB data interfaces that can transfer MIDI channels to USB-equipped computers. Some MIDI keyboard controllers are equipped with USB jacks, and can be connected directly to computers that run music software. MIDI's serial transmission leads to timing problems.
