Hey lovely people - can anyone please help out or direct me to a working version of a Mac editor for my super future techno machine the Yamaha TG33 ?
OSX or OS9 is cool…in particular if anyone has a copy of Emagic’s Sounddiver or Opcode’s Galaxy for OS9 you’d make me a very happy human being.
Thanks in advance
Sound driver will run on earlier Mac OSes in boot camp (9 is fine I think).
Shouldn’t be too hard to google up a version that will work.
Have fun with that TG33! Thing is great. If I didn’t already have a Prophet VS and a Wavestation A/D, I’d get one too!
…still want a TG77, though
Thanks but I need Sound Diver itself for OS9. I have machines that run OS9 natively to edit my DX200 and Nord Modular etc…
How about Midi Quest? They have made an editor for Yamaha TG33 too.
You can buy it here:
I wish there was a Wavestation A/D editor in existence that works past OSX 10.6
midiquest kinda sucks. flakey.
the tg33 is not a very complicated synth. not sure why you need an editor. it’s perfectly workable from the front panel. might be a little slow to get around on but it’s not hard to get your head around once you spend some time w/it.
Midi Quest is a piece of shit, never managed to get it working.
Programing from the TG33 front panel kills me, screen is also a little hard to read – but also remember I’m a dumb ass, regardless.
Years ago (and I mean many years ago) I would use Galaxy to edit the K2000 and some other bits. Was simple and straight forward, kinda like me.
I’ll keep searching…
Can’t help but a great little machine I did a track years ago using one that I should dig up from the vaults (if I can find it) - I only ever programmed mine using the front panel (not ideal) but they can sound quite good when tweaked just right.
Thanks Oscar, I’m not very familiar with the box. So i keep thinking a software MIDI editor will be the easiest way in!
Will need to put the time in.
lol. i’m a dumbass too. tg33 front panel isnt fun but isnt horror show like some others and has fewer parameters than more robust synths.
you could track down some old software and an older mac and run sound diver or other editor??
G5 macs are like $75 for a pair if them. other than that maybe you could persuade someone to code something for you in ctrlr
I have an old G4 powerbook and G4 tower that runs OS9 exculsively… I just need the actual editing software.
Must be a generational thing, lots of people offering alternatives or methods which is all very nice and cool, but I’m more focused on finding the old sofware itself.
Just tried MIDI Quest again, almost threw iMac threw the window. What a piece of shit.
Do you have an oldPC running Steem - Atari St Emulator ?
If so you may be able to use this instead - last link on the page http://www.plompy.co.uk/software/
Steem can be gotten here - http://steem.atari.st/index.htm
May not help any but might be your best shot.
it is a piece of shit.
to find the old stuff try ebay. also you could look around the internet and ask in some forums. perhaps some of that stuff is buried in some archive somewhere.
generational… i’m 40+ 
ps - they just announced the update of midiquest 11 which looks much improved.
Thanks man, I’ll check it out if I can ever get over the emotional damage they have done to me.
Still looks like shit really. You can’t dress up a piece of shit, but you can roll it in glitter.
P.S. checked out your music, I dig it man.
If anyone out there is still looking for a TG33 editor, I just released one on iPad in my app, Patch Base. Mac version will hopefully happen at some point.
Does this work for the SY22 as well?
No, no support for the SY22 yet. It is very similar to the TG33, but a lot of the sysex commands differ in various ways, and I don’t have an SY22 to develop with. I hope to do that before too long.
If you were in central FL you could borrow mine 
If I were there I’d take you up on that.
