It sounds like you have the parts of a working setup there, I think. To answer your questions: 1) MIDI breakout over game port was very standardized, but I have seen reports of incorrectly made cables before. If you can find the pinouts somewhere it shouldn't be hard to verify correct connectivity …

MUNT output gain and clipping question

If I have a game or music that is causing MUNTs output to clip (And I very nearly have one), what's the best way to resolve that in terms of maintaining as close to hardware fidelity as possible? edit : Correction - One of Ultima Underworld's tracks does cause MUNTs output to clip. It's not audible, …

Alas, I personally still can't use it directly. Either LA-SYNTH from 1995 or MT32 Editor requires running Windows, just different versions :) I wonder how hard it would be to port it to other operating system e.g. with Mono. I'd suggest you could surely run Windows and this application in a VM. But …

I've definitely learnt an awful lot about the MT-32, SysEx and Visual Studio over the last few months. The Master Tune parameter is an interesting one- the MT-32 user manual states that a SysEx value of 0 = 432.1Hz and a value of 127 = 457.6Hz. This would place the middle of the range somewhere …

Oh no. I'm going to learn something, aren't I? Thank you for exposing Master Tune! I've only ever seen it exposed by Front Panel buttons before.

Here's the troublesome MIDI. This is a recording I made almost a decade ago. When I play this on my MT-32 *today*, I get a slightly different result than this, for some reason that eludes me, but it's still majorly different than MUNTs output.

Still, it must be interesting to know the details, as it may very well be a bug in another area. As I said, I can provide the MIDI files (one initialization, one music), and a hardware recording if you want it. Should I attach the files here or would somewhere else like Github or Sourceforge be …

So I've just stumbled on a piece that plays very differently on my real MT-32 than it does on MUNT. Even with MUNT limited to 32 partials. This piece uses quite a bit more than 32 partials, so I suspect this is a partials exhaustion quirk. I can attach MIDI files and audio capture if it would be …

I just created it in response to Sergey's post, after having queried an MT-32 unit for the reverb settings that correspond to each of the front-panel settings. Neat. I knew it was possible to get custom patches out of the MT-32, (Unless it's running one of the broken firmwares that breaks that), …

My 1.07 MT-32 will click during the OriginFX intro in Wing Commander and Ultima Underworld. If memory serves the solution is turning the Master Volume down a bit. (And remember to do so *after* the game initializes the synth, as it resets Master Volume as part of it's setup) I don't know how to find …

Heyo! So I'm finally dipping my toes into MUNT, in the hopes of capturing authentic yet cleaner-sounding output than my actual hardware MT32(old). One of my favorite things to do with this synth, since I discovered the function in the early 90s, was fiddling with the Reverb controls accessible via [ …

Just for the record, for anyone finding this thread in the future, dgVoodoo 2.79, now publicly available on Dege's site, seems to work perfectly. Unless something breaks in the future, I would expect all future versions to also work perfectly.

A little background, if my quick research is correct. Proton is running Supreme Commander / dgVoodoo through a translation layer called DXVK. This support DX9 through DX11, and outputs to Vulkan. DXVK apparently has the same difficulties with shaders that dgVoodoo did before Dege kludged it in the …

Interesting. I had "Fake" Fullscreen mode turned *off*. When I turned it *on*, the problem went away. Seems more reliable as far as actually getting focus and displaying properly on startup, too. "Capture mouse" on the General tab doesn't seem to be doing anything though. For anyone finding this …

You are a god among men! The game works, though I once had it fail to actually go fullscreen - the fullscreen was "behind" my desktop and the secondary display did not appear.

For the rendering errors, what if you set the output API to D3D12? I've tried all 5 in the dgVoodoo control panel - no change.
