Hello All.
I am new in this forum and up to now I am truly happy that finally I found more people with VG equipment.

I have a noob question. I have found a patch that supposed to be for VG-88 (from a German site) but it is in midi format.
Is there any way to open it with the Veditor or at least try it directly to my VG-88.

Thanks a lot,
Anmegil (from Greece)

Sequencer software) connect via MIDI cables.

IMPORTANT FOR PC USERS
On some PCs, it can sound cards / cable without optocouplers be transmission errors such MIDI Sysex. use
then a PC with real MIDI interface or cable with optocouplers (€ 15, -) or try one of the free updater
Programs on our website www.rolandmusik.de under Service ? Downloads ? Tools ? Updaterproramme (Updater 2)
IMPORTANT FOR ALL
These sounds were programmed for a neutral reinforcement (PA, sound reinforcement system, mixer, tape recorder) - set the OUTPUT SELECT
therefore to "Line / Phones". If you use the VG-88 in combination with a guitar amp, you should use the VG-88 to the RETURN / MAIN
IN the effects loop of the amplifier close - set the OUTPUT SELECT, then "Power Amp + Speaker / return". Nevertheless, it may
come through the amplifier to the speakers of the amplifier to sound coloration.
If your amplifier does not have an effects loop, and the VG-88 on normal input connect, the sounds do not sound original, since
in the VG-88 was used by the modeling amps: VG-88 amp model + real guitar amp = double the sound!
... AND HAVE FUN!
On the next page is a table with the 50 sounds. Have fun rocking and rolling! (Send questions and comments to harnisch@rolandmusik.de)


You may use the free Roland SMF Player application to send the MID file to your VG-88

Hello Elantric,

I see that the links are not present anymore at the moment. Where can I find these MID files?
Sincere greetings,

Roland Germany deleted them a few years ago
