If you're trying to locate a copy of XGworks you might try asking here.
A few of my articles in pdf form are located here in the files section.

A simple method to get a sequencer up and running on Windows-7 (or higher) is to download the older XG-Works 3.0.7e sequencer off the following website (Tools Subsection): xg-central.com/xgc-software.php

The PLG card editors are hard to find online anymore (they don’t come with XG-Works) but if you go to the Japanese Yamaha page you can still download them:
download.yamaha.com/search/detail/?language=ja&site=jp.yamaha.com&asset_id=21294&category_id=16244&product_id=437394&1501089322;

On the bottom of the page is a checkbox (click it) then the download link just below it for ‘allplginw.zip (4.66 MB)’ is enabled.

Hi. I am a new member here and i am happy to find this board that's dedicated to Yamaha's XGWorks, SOL etc sequencers..
They have become vintage now, but still solid.. Only inspiration is what one needs..
Anyway, i have found after a looooot of searching the following link, where you can freely download the 2 CDs that contain SOL2 :
archive.org/download/YamahaSOL2

I haven't yet succesfully installed it, but maybe i am doing something wrong?

Hi Gus, The INSTALLER has to run with XP compatibility and administrator privileges or it won't install completely. Run SOL2 the same way once you get it installed.

Nice link find, by the way. I hunted for months before I found help in obtaining the install disks from John here on MIDI-Tutorials.

Hi javelin276 and thank you. My computer has WinXP SP3, so it doesn't have that issue with compatibility. The wizard loads and then nothing... (i already have posted this in the SOL2 installation section of this board.)
