The Adlib and MT-32 were both released in late 1987. The Adlib in August, and the MT-32 I'm unsure of except late 87' prior to September. The first revision of the MT-32 manual(1.01) was in September, which leaves July or August but I'm pretty sure it was also released in August. Sound Blaster was …

LAPC-I doc from quest studios: http://www.queststudios.com/roland/docs/lapc1.txt As for the time involved, captvk is the one who has the cm-64 and he'd be doing the extraction. What's being asked is to describe what it was you were refering to about tricks to getting clean samples.

Um, the cm-64 is a combination of a cm-32l + u110 in one module. The u110 part can be cascaded off of the cm-32l part for a sort of 64 note polyphony, but that doesn't mean you can't just access the cm-32l part. I ran lasynth and saw they only had mt-32 or d-110 in the pulldown menu but I'll bet …

In case you missed my post, CapTVK has a CM-64 that he's pulled from storage and is asking what to do to extract the samples. You mentioned an easier way. He's been posting about it in the 'well, I lost my ebay bids' thread.

Check the 'Not handling expression control?' thread again; I posted an accurate set expression, reset all controllers, and active sense(though you'll probably want to swap the doxbox timer with one from directx).

Did you get my email to your hotmail account? ps. Describe the non ripping method you mentioned in the 'well, I lost my ebay bids.' thread for CapTVK. He has a CM-64 that's he's willing to pull out of storage and dump 'for the cause'. He asked what to do in the same thread.

Though I did find lillchips on my own from searching on google, if you grab the mt-32 owners manual from quest, you'll find lilchips txt file banners in the zip.

Or have canadacow describe the easier way he referred to, to get the samples. There is another chunk of data I'd be interested in, though I imagine the dumping method would be needed to grab it, which is the controller rom. Since you & vlad already put together a dumper, perhaps you guys could do it …

The volume formula from the microsoft ddk is for fine scale. http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/tech/midispec/vol.htm The mt-32 doesn't have controller 37, it only implemented coarse grain volume control (7). The coarse formula is '40 log (Volume/127) '. In inittables, the line where it sets amp & volt …
