With some hardware this can make stuff work faster, but it also means that you can't use those ranges for UMBs. If you really want to shadow those ranges, you may have to manually exclude them from being used by EMM386. ... There are some misunderstandings here. You cannot use those ranges anyway, …

You're still limited to 512Mb of memory, give or take. No SSE2 support. No hyper-threading. True, not true, true. SSE2 uses the same XMM registers as SSE, no additional OS support required. Since Win98SE supports SSE (can save/restore XMM registers) it automatically supports SSE2 also if the CPU …

FSMP can only get data from Midi-In ports (and can send data to Midi-Out ports) just like any other Midi software under Windows. Midi ports are provided by drivers under Windows, there is no direct intercepting possible from a Midi-Out port. What you want to achieve is only possible by using a …

It's VESA 2.0. In DOS era even VESA 2.0 with its linear frame buffer extension was not so common place so UNIVBE could be used on cards that supported SVGA resolutions in a non standard way or supported only VESA 1.2. VESA 3.0 was supported mainly by 3Dfx and Geforce cards up to Geforce 4 when some …

I hate to ask but, is there any chance the MIDI sequencing code for the OPL3 VSTi plugin could be used to improve/fix the one in ALSA for Linux systems? The OPL MIDI usage on Linux currently suffers from these bugs: Notes can get stuck "on" if polyphony is exhausted and many, many notes are rapidly …

Hi, A new test version is available together with a new version of Munt VSTi: http://falcosoft.hu/midiplayer_57_test.zip In case of Midi player the only addition is the support of real time sync Midi messages together with Midi Timing Clock.

I had a crazier idea. Edit some files in SCVA to increase bend range max value. Result: Fail. The crazy idea is that it requires editing files. Setting pitch bend range has been a part of Midi specification for a long time. In GM specification you can find how to set pitch bend range under the RPN …

I understood. But the problem is in gain: less gain - more noise. More gain - less noise. This is why Simple Gain VST requires 24 dB as gain range max value. NO, you do not understand. The problem is you used 16-bit recordings, thus decreasing the dynamic range and then you tried manipulating the …

Please read again. I have just tried and in case of 32-bit floating point recordings I get the exact same noise level If I record with Simple Gain Vst +12dB option or with 0 dB option and amplify +12 dB in Audacity afterwards.

OK, now I think I understand what your problem is. When you use simple gain VST it works with 32-bit floating point data since in VST world everything is floating point. But your recordings are all 16-bit integer ones. So they have smaller dynamic range and when you normalize them or add 12 dB gain …

4. 44100 Hz. My favorite. I checked 32000 and 48000. Both are awkward. First have squeak, second, in my opinion, is too soapy. Taste is one thing but facts are another. You can have 44100 Hz as 'favorite' but in this case it's simply the worst choice. I'm not talking about your final end result …

Please be a little bit more specific. Instead of writing down what you did NOT do you could describe the exact steps you had done. And also some details about: 1.

3. Yes. Because then I will get sample with distortion Then you must be doing something wrong in Audacity since the original 0 dB gain recording amplified by Audacity by +12dB should give the same result as recording with Simple Gain VSTi by +12dB. Also you should only hear distortion/clipping when …
