Bump; noone has any clues on why DOSBox MIDI record would yield mostly correct, but slightly glitchy (stuck note/wrong note) MIDI files?

MIDI recording problems with DOSBox
Posted on 2014-03-17, 00:02
Hey folks, I just wanted to start by saying; I love DOSBox, and the improvements made over the 00's are awesome. Thankyou very much to the team. Now, I've been trying to record MIDI in DOSBox for years. I can do it, and get the results. However, it seems the recorded MIDI files have occasional …
Re: Extract MIDI from Accolade DAT files?

Thanks for the clarification! Lost in LA's MUS files did indeed playback, although the tempo was off. But DOSBox is able to record that, and I was able to verify that my MIDi recordings had all the game's data, which they did. Thanks :) Wish I had a way to do it for King and Altered, but if you ever …

Thanks for the replies, especially to Mok! Sure. Here are my old Hoot drivers for these games. Attempting to run any code from the archives will result in a crash, but the raw songs are in *.mus files. I tried using an old Accolade player for the MUS format and they didn't play.. Is there any way to …

Mok: I did record the in-game MIDI data. Extracted data is good also because it's more accurate, plus it contains ALL the music so if you forget a cue, or if there's some unused music in the resources, you get it :) Altered Destiny and the 2 Les Manley games are what I'm looking for, by the way. …
Extract MIDI from Accolade DAT files?
Posted on 2014-02-03, 04:10
Hey folks, I got turned onto (pun not intended) some of Accolade's older titles, such as Les Manley and Altered Destiny. Their music is stored in DAT files, but I have no idea how to extract it. I tried a lot of general programs but no avail. I can record using DOSBox (and have), but there are …

Thanks, NRS. Do some MT-32 games use +2 as bend range? I seem to remember when converting most Sierra MIDI's to GM from MT-32, it required using a Data MSB value of +2 instead of +12.

Re: Roland SC 55 first batch able to play GM games properly?

The answer to the original question is yes, for the most part. Some odd games were composed for something different, some even Sierra games were composed using a SC-55mkII (e.g. QFG4, GK1) and need it for 100% of tracks to sound correct. I've owned a more advanced SC device and if you want one of …

Don't forget, it can be the same MIDI, the in-game driver just causes things to be different.

NRS: So controller 78 values from 0 to 1 (which is all I ever see, or 1 to 0) changes polyphony/partial reserve, or does it change what MIDI channel is being used? EDIT: I think I see what it does, correct me if I'm wrong. In tracks like Larry 6's blues bar tracks, where the song loops at a point …

Now I've got a question. Other than SQ5, how many others' modulation are MT-32 specific? There's enough of these hacked up drivers with modulation fixes... but are they right? Or need the dreaded cc1 / 2? Well, I recently noticed in LSL6, which I'm secretly working on, actually has controller 78 ( …

OK, I just went through Shadow Warrior. FYI distortion, Mirsoft.info is a great place for easy to find 'quick and dirty' (usually extracted raw) MIDI downloads. It looks like according to the composer, no GS is used. Of course the game uses GS drumkits! Although I think the GM standard is loosely …

OK, that makes me feel better. ;) Yeah, TG300B isn't always going to be right either, don't forget, it's emulation, although the drums should be fine and not missing notes. If you send me the MIDI I'll test it with my Yamaha MU2000EX, which is the number #1 XG synth. What do you mean by the General …

Me again. I stumbled on a curiosity in LSL6 while recording the soundtrack. I've noticed that the track named "Samba de Hooters" has two distinct versions, one for MT-32 and GM, and a different one for AdLib/SB (I'll attach the recordings) They have two different melodies at the bridge part of the …
