Hey folks, Some time ago, I bought one of these. Given Google doesn't have much to say on the matter, I wondered if any experts here might know anything about this rare mod 😀

Similar to NewRisingSun's post, I have a track that when converted is always wrong, but plays fine in MIDI players. It's very simple, it's the forest SFX from King's Quest V. Two channels, bird tweet and whiporill. Somehow, the pitch is wrong after conversion, affecting both instruments (everything …

The real question is, what are the differences between the ROM versions, and do they matter. I have a 1.00 ROM version and it works great.

I also just noticed this, but SQ4 and LB2 are both MT-32 soundtrack games, as well! Only KQ6 from your pictures is a SC-55 game. Both of those games sound vastly superior in MT-32, IMHO.

Sierra games don't ever use channels 11-16 in DOS mode, although the tikalat patches I mentioned above add that functionality to allow music and SFX to not fight each other for 'channel room'. Some Dynamix games could be different. In theory Extended MIDI should just be the same for Sierra games as …

RCA outputs. However, one model, the Roland SC-D70 has digital in and outs. It has no display, but does have a SC-55 compatibility map (50-75% the same, I guess?), and a SC-88, 88Pro, and 8820 map. It can be had relatively cheap, and also works as a sound card if you have USB support.

Regarding Base vs Extended, it's nothing special. Base refers (roughly) to Adlib/FM, and Extended (roughly) to Sound Canvas. You will still get better MIDI performance in all these games by playing the DOS version and a Sound Canvas (plus the tikalat patches if you have them installed).

My guess is if you have the cable working, it's hooked up incorrectly to the MT-32. Out goes into In, no other plugs need to be used, although you can put In into Out if you feel like it.

When you say can't make it work, what does that mean? Does the game load? Does either music or SFX play? The usual problem I had with that hardware mix was IRQ conflicts.

Yeah, I was wondering, what is the advantage of a SB device outside a vintage PC, given their sound issues. Onboard is pretty darn good these days and doesn't process the sound unless your MB comes with software that does it, which can be disabled if desired. I've been SB free for a long time now on …

I couldn't seem to find it, but basically use the patches from the stickied thread here on VOGONS to fix polyphony issues, and a couple of cool fixes like restoring GS drumkits in SQ5, fixing incorrect music track playback in Sorcerian's second half, and more. Those patches are mostly applicable to …

Hey man, possibly multiple full stops in the filename are confusing the software. Rename to something like MT32_CONTROL.ROM (MT32.ROM for the other one) and see if that works.

You need to edit resource.cfg and change the line: soundDrv = MT32.DRV to soundDrv = MTBLAST.DRV You can't do this via the install program, you must edit the .CFG file.

Side comment.. would love a "definitive audio config" list like this for all of the classics.. (use patch X, use SB Pro, use GUS at 22 KHz, disable CD audio and use this midi patch instead, config game with Yamaha and use soundfont Y, config with GM and use soundfont Z). krcroft, I made one for …

Sounds to me like a Roland synth like a later Sound Canvas, or maybe a JV synth. There is a guy who played the GM score on a JV synth, you can hear that here: https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comment … _gm_soundtrack/
