Re: Unofficial Soundbanks for Dreamblaster X2/X3M

Too bad it's not a standalone card like the X3. But even if it was... certainly not gonna buy a second card for MIDI which I only use rarely to play some old games.

Has any progress been made at all regarding a possible workover of that Roland soundbank? I still believe it has potential to become a really good choice for the X2/X3, especially due to its small filesize.

So have you guys stumbled upon some obstacles during your research or why the radio silence? So far this thread had been an interesting read and it seemed good progress had been made.
Re: VST Midi Driver Midi Mapper

I play Duke3D and Doom regularly, both have MIDI support. The source ports support various MIDI setups, e.g. SF2 via FluidSynth, but you know... once you get used to a certain sound, it's hard listening to anything else. The advantage of VMD used to be that it was a fire-and-forget solution. You set …

I am just listening to the S-YXG50 plugin through Midi Player and have to wonder how great it would be to have this as a default Windows 10 MIDI device again... just like in old times. Before the VST MIDI Driver broke and nobody was around to fix it. I dunno if it's just a matter of updating the …
Re: X2GS : Waveblaster board with dual soundbank support, official Dream/Roland licensed GS bank
Posted on 2021-05-24, 21:42
Does the X2GS fit into the enclosure made for the X3M by any chance? (I guess it doesn't since the audio ports seem to be on the side instead of the front.) If it does not: Will there be one for it (for external usage)?

Does it also come in black with white (or light grey) letters? Also: Are there any significant advantages over other enclosures like the Doxbox? How is it powered for example?

Fair enough. It's just about those special voices Bobby Prince used to achieve certain effects. I thought an SC55-like soundbank should get those right at least. I don't think anybody expects this to be super similar to a real SC55.

Will it be possible to attach one of these to the upcoming X8/X16 soundcards? If so, that would be the ultimate overkill.

No problem. Curious to see how that one will turn out, too. I'll be waiting for this one, however. Time is not a relevant factor here.
Re: DreamBlaster X16

Outstanding. For me this now just needs to be able to handle 250 Ohm headphones and should ideally have a switch to toggle between Line Out and Headphone Out. Then you could ask pretty much any price actually, I'd still order a unit. With case, no questions asked. Is it already decided which DAC and …

If this is going to be a full-fledged sound card with a proper DAC, headphone amp *AND* MIDI capabilities that can be used with a modern OS, this would be the most interesting project for me on this forum until now.
Re: DreamBlaster X16

Which DAC chip are you using? I'd be interested if this is capable of driving speakers like my Creative Stage Air 2.1 soundbar and at least 250 Ohm headphones (like my Beyerdymanics DT990 Edition). To make it perfect, a switch for toggling between Line Out and Headphone Out would be nice, similar to …

I guess you could still insert it into the DOX-Box to use it as a standalone MIDI device, then? It worked with my DB50XG.

Will it be possible to use this as a USB audio device just like the X3MA or will this project follow a different path?
Re: Dreamblaster X3MB Buran External General MIDI Device Review
Posted on 2020-06-15, 20:53
Well, that would have exceeded my expectations by far, anyway. This is a MIDI device primarily after all, the audio device function is a nice bonus. It's still amazing it can work as a basic (but good) soundcard, anyway. While it may not quite satisfy audiophile needs, it's still a great option if …

Hoping that Hummtaro is maybe still working on his Roland soundfont or willing to make some adjustments, here is some listening feedback from MIDIs I loaded via Falcosoft MIDI Player and Hummtaro's Roland custom preset. Doom, d_e1m3.mid - Lead voice (Syn Bass 1?) sounds a bit thin Doom, d_e1m5.mid - …

Well, I purchased the first model that was available, it was still just labeled X3M back then. I guess it's now the X3MA (as indicated in the OP) since it works as a DAC indeed, checked today on my notebook. For my purposes, the USB audio device functionality is a lot more useful than the improved …

What I forgot to ask earlier: Which DAC chip did you use on the X3M boards? I actually just realized now that this can be an all-in-one solution soundcard for PC. Just wondering how good it is since it could even completely replace my current sound solution.

If the sound is like in this video (featuring ROTT and Heretic ingame footage), I'm in. Just give me an external casing like you made for the X3M and it's as good as ordered.
