I bought the hardware kit when I was still using my Amiga as my main system.

Yamaha didn't have the SoftSynth for the Amiga, but I tried it on a PC at
college, and it didn't seem as good as the box I wound up buying.

It's a fantastic little thing - the digital effects processing is incredible;
I can make the electric guitar sound like something Joe Satriani would be
happy playing.

I have an XG-MIDI file that contains a rendition of "Voodoo Child", and it is
absolutely incredible to listen to.
