Hello Zoltan, I noticed that MT-32 files with very small external SysEx files (to set reverb for example) tend to "choke up" the first few notes. I wonder if there's an option in FSMP to force a small delay (one second for example) before the MIDI file starts playing, in order to prevent that sort …

Any Western game. Quite a few Japanese games support it, especially on Sharp X68000.

It's quite simple in my opinion. The MT-32 came first. It was a semi-pro synth that Sierra decided on a hunch to market as a deluxe device for video games. It was a big gamble since the MT-32 (a budget brother of the D-50) was still expensive and never primarily intended for that market. …

I have been searching for hours now without luck. Does anyone know a MIDI player for windows that I can use to send all 32 tracks on the two midi ports on my soundcard? Fummy's TMIDI Player does support 32ch mode through ports A & B. It's my player of choice, although it's quite old now and in …

The "CD Source" option is mainly used for audio tracks. If you set the "Path to Executable" option correctly, you can point to the hard drive location where you copied the content of your game CD. In the "Audio and Movies" tab, select "Use Audio Pack" to replace your audio CD tracks with the MP3 …

Thanks for the Folder.syx support, I can't wait to try it. Is it still possible to define a specific sysex for a given MIDI file? Will this sysex have priority over the global Folder.syx?

It's not easy to tell how good it works because those Konami files were made for SC-88Pro, but I dusted off my good old Utopia Live soundfont (which I believe was partly GS compatible) and tried it with Salamander 2. The MIDI Channels Viewer only displays the first 16 channels, but the Event …

Also I do not fully understand how it should work in case of 32ch midi files ( I have never met one before). I think the key is "port preference" Meta event (0x21) per tracks (at least in the file you have attached) but it seems to be very error prone since many sequencers/midi files use this event …

Hi Zoltan, I have two feature requests which I wanted to submit some months ago. 1/ Could FSMP support two MIDI ports (A and B) per device? As of today, the only player I know of that can properly do it is Fummy TMIDI. Dual port MIDI files are not common, but Konami has produced a fair number of …

Thanks Zoltan for the Program menu fix. The preset hotkeys (ctrl+alt+num) don't work with the numeric keypad, is it intended? Also, the instrument definitions are correctly changed when double-clicking a specific preset from the preset menu, but not when loading it via the hotkey shortcut.

The CM-500 actually has several more samples than the base CM-32P/CM-64. On top of the 64 instruments provided by the SC-55 to "emulate" the CM-32P, the CM-500 fills the remaining 64 slots (which are not configurable) with a kind of "best-of" selection from the U-110 ROM cards -- probably borrowed …

I think the SC-88 series outputs at 32 kHz (like the MT-32), but chances are your sound board/chip doesn't support this sample rate. The buffer determines the threshold between sound quality and sound lag. A small buffer will make your synth play in near real time but with possible audio cracks, a …

The thing is, the SC-88 and above don't share exactly the same GM instruments as the SC-55 (which was the de facto reference GM/GS device). Usually that's no big deal because most basic instruments sound the same, but some like the Electric Piano are really different and that might occasionally …

how do I know if I want GS or GM mode in SCVA? What's the difference? Or, will the game automatically tell SCVA what mode to use? GS is a custom extension by Roland which adds hundreds of instruments on top of GM's 128 tones. The SC-55 has about 300 (600 for the SC-88, 1100 for the SC-88Pro and …

I like the GM/GS/XG icon in the player's main window, but is it possible to precise the "level" of the GS format (in case of a SC-55/88/Pro/ED tonemap)? This is a very informative feature which I've rarely seen implemented in MIDI players. I think VanBasco is able to display some 88/Pro instruments, …
