Extended
GM,
or XG for short, is Yamaha's answer to the General
MIDI definition. XG goes far beyond the limitations of
General MIDI by offering hundreds of additional voices and sound
characteristics not available under GM Level 1 or GM Level 2.
And since Sierra soundtracks are filled with lots of custom sounds,
XG is a superb alternative for Roland MT-32 conversions.
These files are not for everyone. They're designed
to take advantage of the capabilities only available with Yamaha
XG compatible MIDI devices and most will not play properly
under General MIDI or Roland GS. Browse on down and take a look
at what's currently available in XG format. |

compatible will contain the following logo in the song description:
(Not
all songs have been tested, though most should play well through the
S-YXG50.)
