Re: Roland MT-32 power supply.

Posted on 2018-07-30, 10:39

Just for the sake of posterity... Here is the official list from Roland regarding which devices should use which power supplies (US only). Most of the ones we're interested in take 9 V and 1 or 1.2 A, meaning the PSB-120 is the best choice. Interestingly enough for the MT-32 they recommend the …

1. Shift + x ( Shift + 1, Shift + 2 etc.) -> Opening/invoking VST effect/Instrument plugin windows. 2. Ctrl + x (Ctrl + 1, Ctrl + 2 etc.) -> Switching banks on all channels. This can be useful for testing different soundfonts in real time: https://youtu.be/A4rXu3YNXDc https://youtu.be/aBhTH1Z9s4I …

Thanks for answering all the questions about sample rates! So the best values I conclude from your post are: Munt: 32 kHz S-YXG50: 44.1 kHz Sound Canvas VA & soundfonts: 48 kHz (on modern sound cards) I do not understand this. Configuration Presets dialog is a GUI. It's a standard Windows dialogbox …

Let's see a real world example why configuration presets are much more convenient than your current usage pattern. You want to use 3 plugins regularly: 1. Sound Canvas-VA for GM/GS midis. 2. S-YXG50 for XG midis 3. Munt(VSTi) for MT-32 midis. Aha, I never realised that configuration presets were so …

1. In case of same named midi+syx files (e.g. MI2_1.MID + MI2_1.SYX) FSMP automatically loads the SySex file before playing the midi file. These kind of midi+syx pairs are very common among MT-32 distribution packages. Yes, these additional SYX files are common. It's great that your program handles …

Here is a picture of my SB 1.5, bought in 1990! http://i.imgur.com/qvjvOzim.jpg (click for larger version) Can anyone tell me what version DSP this is? This article points out the difference between versions 1 and 2, but other than knowing I don't have v2, can I find out my actual DSP and any other …

Ways to make your MT-32 MIDIs sound right

Posted on 2018-06-06, 07:20

I'm sure everyone here knows about the peculiarities of LA synthesis which means using a simple (or even not so simple) soundfont just won't work for playing back MT-32 music. Setting aside gaming with DOSBox and ScummVM for now, what are the best ways to play back MT-32 (or LAPC-I) specific MIDI …
