I wonder if anyone has made something to enable playing General #MIDI playback in #Bitwig? Like for e.g. game soundtrack type of stuff.

In #FLStudio there is a General MIDI soundset for #FLEX, which is sort of like a built-in rompler in that DAW. If you import a MIDI file let's say game music from 90s Sierra or Lucas Arts game FL will automatically use this soundset and pick the correct instruments.

Thought that FL part is worth of mentioning because it is not that common knowledge, e.g. I found it by accident :-) What happens in Bitwig is that you get the stock Organ instrument to every channel.

Sound Canvas SC-88 is the only plugin I've ever picked from #Roland it is total garbage. I've never got it run on any machine that I've owned (have had it for 1.5 years, and have occasionally tried it). Also the only plugin I've ever grabbed from Roland (unsurprisingly).

Neither a big loss since best Roland emulations are made by other companies than Roland. For instance recent Alpha Juno 2 clone TAL-Pha (macOS/Linux/Windows CLAP/VST3) from ToguAudioLine is just great (and something I've waited for long time, Alpha Juno and Roland JD-800 are my favorite early 90s synths both have been lacking good emulations).
