Yamaha SFG-05

Hi all! I'm wondering what software exists that supports the SFG-05 sound module? Is there a list somewhere? Interested in anything - trackers, sequencers, sound editors, demos, games...

Is it compatible with other FM solutions for the MSX, e.g. MSX-MUSIC or etc.?

I have a US CX5M-II/128, so NTSC. The machine is set up in my home music studio and I've been using it a little to interact with other MIDI synths. I want to go further.

Sorry if this is kind of a basic question, I'm just getting into this architecture.

Well, doing an advanced query on generation-msx with soundpm should return all the software tagged with support for the Yamaha music modules. But for some reason it does not work.

e.g.
http://www.generation-msx.nl/software/result?q=sound%3Aopm&s...

But as far as I know it is mostly software from Yamaha, so you may have a look at the software they developed:

For a give software entry, look at the "Information" tab under Sound for OPM.

There are no games for the SFG-05, alas. Only some music-making software from Yamaha and a few others. It's not compatible with any other MSX sound extension (at all).

Here is pretty complete list of software for this extension:

Only thing I noticed to be missing is the VGMPLAY by Grauw

Sandy fixed the problem with Generation-MSX. To see the list of software tagged with OPM click this link:

There's a DOS2 music player for X68000 music files by AIN (of MGSEL fame) which requires SFG-01/05 to work.

It's called "MXDRV".

MXDRV is not only a player but a driver with a complete toolkit to create/convert/play MML music with Yamaha sound units
