But don't feel pressured to take on something you're not ready for yet! Just having a librarian software that works at all in modern Windows without OTVDM or DOSBox is a godsend! You've already made things twice as easy. :) Good to know it's proving useful! No pressure at all- I'll continue to …

Actually, it is suited. There are two paths: Thanks- lots of new (to me) concepts to consider! Nice. Although, it would also have to have MUNT compiled into it as well to be useful as a VSTi since it doesn't output sound on its own. Currently I use Falcosoft's MUNT VSTi plugin which is fantastic. …

Version 0.9.9b is now available- please see the link in my original post. This version includes an undo/redo feature within the timbre editor section. I don't plan on adding any further new features ahead of v1.0.0, so I've marked this release as a beta.

I don't own the GOG version, but my understanding is that it simply contains the files from LucasArts' talkie version configured to run via DOSBox- therefore retaining native MT-32 support.

I was using MUNT (the mt32emu_qt GUI interface). Haven't tried with my hardware MT-32 yet because I cannibalized the cables I use to connect it to my interface in favour of my guitar pedalboard connections I was experimenting with. I will hook it back up perhaps tonight and see if it continues. I'm …

@Sfryers: During testing I have noticed that the .NET6 x86 version presents itself as x64 version on the console :) Whoops!

After using it a little bit last night and this morning, I've noticed that the x64 and x86 builds have this weird pausing slowdown that happens every half-second. This is for everything; clicking on a menu/button, hovering over a menu selection (waiting for it to highlight). But the .NET 4.7.2 …

The native windows application provided with the Steam version of Fate of Atlantis has been modified to use a General MIDI instrument map. Most of the original DOS game files are provided in the Steam release, but annoyingly, ATLANTIS.000 is missing (it's been packed into the windows executable)- …

Make sure the connector on the UM-ONE labelled "Connect to Midi In" is attached to the MIDI In 1 port on the rear of the device, and that the small switch to the right of the MIDI In 1 port is set to the 'MIDI' position.

I at least ask for support because I DON'T want to make a whole modern windows VM just for sending a handful of bytes to something from the 80s. And also it's a horrible waste of drive space. Whilst a native cross-platform release is likely to be a while away yet, I do have some positive news to …

Just curious, do you have another device that you could attach on the thru of the mt-32. To check if the midi signal that comes in on the mt32 still goes through. Good suggestion- or hook up a MIDI keyboard directly to the MT-32's input. I've found the MT-32 to be a pretty well-made piece of …

Thanks, it sems to be working perfectly (tested regular .NET 6.0 x86 version). I like the feature that during import the dialog shows the first MT-32 LCD message contained in the Midi file. BTW, this editor works perfectly with my Munt VSTi plugin. Timbres found in a Midi file can be tested easily …

Looks like a crystal oscillator in a ceramic package- the markings suggest a 4MHz frequency. Should be easy enough to replace if it's gone bad. Edit- technically it's called a ceramic resonator (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_resonator), but its function is similar to a crystal oscillator.

I'm not a .NET expert but I have heard about NAudio when .NET core not even existed. So I would be surprised if some older versions of NAudio had no support for .NET framework at all. According to its nuget page even the current version still supports .NET Framework 4.7.2 and 4.8 https://www.nuget. …
